iTunes billing for Netflix is not available to new or rejoining Netflix customers.

If you are attempting to create an account on an iOS mobile device, you can sign up on Netflix.com using a mobile browser and will be prompted to provide an alternate method of payment.

That's presumably to support users who have existing subscriptions. GP showed that they do not allow people to pay for new subscriptions.

You can't even make an account for Netflix inside the application.
