Hello OzBargain fam. Long time lurker, first time poster. Here's something that I've been using for a while now.

Spotify Premium in the Philippines has a different pricing (above is the conversion rate provided by Google as of 30/11/2016). In order to be able to subscribe, there are two/three things that you'll need to do:

1: You have to create a Philippine Spotify account having local residential address via a VPN.
2: For the payment method, create a new Paypal account with a PH address and link your card/bank details there there. (I forgot if you'll need a VPN for this one.)
3: (Optional) If you're getting a family subscription, every account to be linked should be a PH Spotify account as well.

RIP my English. I'm not sure if it's still working, but I've just been charged another 5.47 AUD for my family subscription two days ago. Here are two screenshots for proof:
Screenshot #1, Screenshot #2, Screenshot #3

One catch with this trick is that on the browse tab, you'll see a bunch of Filipino curated Spotify playlists featured up top. Everything else is just like having Premium.

P.S.: Mods, feel free to delete this post if not allowed or modify it to your liking. I hope this post helps and thank you OzBargain for the great deals and bargains.

  I had to create a new account because I couldn't change the country in my profile.
  - zerocritical on 02/12/2016 - 23:51
    
    I haven't tried it either but on their support page they mentioned you can change to a country where you currently are. So you'd need a VPN I guess.

Thanks worked in the end after a couple of false starts on the paypal front getting the merchant approved. For those needing a PH VPN, vyper VPN mentioned by another user above gives a free account with 500mb if you sign up via their windows App.

  Yep, any app. I signed up with a Mac app and the whole process used around 120mb. That included setting up 5 Spotify accounts and a Paypal account

organamisms on 04/12/2016 - 10:50

How'd you get around the mobile phone number when registering for the paypal account? It's locked to put in a +63 number for Phillippines - I presume they'd forward confirmation sms for two-factor authentication to this number as well, so I'd have to be able to see these
- MaximumEffort777 on 05/12/2016 - 02:43
  
  I just put in some random numbers and there was no authentication needed.

IF anybody is still trying

I used EXPRESSVPN connected to Philippines via Singapore server.
I set up my PayPal account and used fake ID numbers, phone number and fake Philippines address generated on https://getfakedata.com/address/en_PH?limit=10
I simply added the CC I normally use in Australia.
I also set up a new GMAIL account with Philippines as country, but used Australian phone number to verify account.
Finally, set up Spotify and succeeded!

Hope this helps :)

    EXPRESSVPN has a 30-day money back guarantee, so you can sign up for that and simply ask for a refund.
    
    But they will save you so much money in the long run!

Do you need to link the AU credit card to the PH Paypal account? Or can you use an AU paypal account to transfer money into the PH account which then pays Spotify?
strikerzebra on 15/01/2017 - 00:24

Why do we have to create a paypal account, can't we just create a spotify account using a vpn then pay by credit card outside paypal?
illumination on 18/01/2017 - 23:37

Hm why does this say expired? Actually I have a feeling it's to do with the automated expiry after X days..
illumination on 19/01/2017 - 01:34

Just tried to do this whole process fairly extensively, and included making 2x PH Paypal accounts.

PayPal kept requesting a verification of identification for this "fake" identity. Needless to say, I am unable to provide anything to prove my fabricated character actually exists.

In addition, I've added one of my legit cards (28 Degrees) to one of the newly created accounts, and you can't link a card to more than one account. This means my card is now "locked" to that.. well, guess it's time to ditch 28 Degrees and go for Bankwest Zero Mastercard (which I had kinda always intended to do anyway!)

I've decided that I'll probably go with Spotify Malaysia. Not much more expensive, but a hell of a lot easier for me to set up due to relatives/family ties to the country.

I don't think this is working anymore. Trying to use my AU credit card linked to my PH PayPal account, I get the following message:

It looks like you're using a card issued in Australia.
Your Spotify account must match the country of your payment method. Change account to Australia or use another card.

No option to use a bank account.
- fransisqo on 17/04/2017 - 18:12
  
  I dont think it ever worked with using a card outside of Philippines.
  
  What you need to do is make Paypal to paypal credit transfers.
  E.g.
  Transer credit from your Australian Paypal account, to your Philippines Paypal account ;)
  - zerocritical on 17/04/2017 - 19:09

    Doesn't seem to work. When I select PayPal it informs me that I have to add a credit card to my account and I only have the one that's already attached to my main PP. I transferred enough to cover a 3 month subscription but it won't let me use PayPal balance as a payment method. What a letdown. :(

Damn it! Spotify have recently implemented a '14 day abroad' rule, where they pickup your IP address that you're not in the country you're subscribing from. From then, you have 14 days to use it abroad, before it gets locked, until u log on in your home country again.
