AD-ONEMONTHLIFETIMEOFCOMFORT

No need for a VPN, simply apply two codes from previous deals and change the card country.

  1. Go to https://plex.tv/subscription and purchase a monthly subscription for free by using the code "AD-ONEMONTH" from https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/649435

  2. Go to https://plex.tv/subscription, and cancel the subscription.

  3. Go to https://plex.tv/subscription, upgrade subscription; Enter the code "LIFETIMEOFCOMFORT" from https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/665533
    Select Turkey from the country, don't worry about the postcode, Aussie postcode works fine;
    Click next and it will redirect you to the payment confirmation page.

  4. On the confirmation page, double-check the amount to pay is ₺617,24 TRY, click next to pay.

Just paid with my Macquaire debit card, ₺617.24 TRY charged for $69.66 AUD

Update

For those having Selected country does not match Credit Card country errors, try this alternative procedure by cnwhite82

  1. Go to https://plex.tv/subscription and purchase a monthly subscription for free by using a free month code "AD-ONEMONTH or HDHR01MONTH or TECHWITHBRETT30" - Make sure you put in your CC details with the country code of turkey.

  2. DON'T CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION

  3. Go to https://plex.tv/subscription, select upgrade subscription; Enter the code "LIFETIMEOFCOMFORT" and use the same credit card as step 1.

Update:

If you are still getting a wrong country error after tried the above step, you can also try this method mentioned by gamerkonks https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/11398973/redir

If you are getting a "Code not valid" error, please make sure you are NOT using a VPN and try to repeat the steps in browser's incognito mode

        I don't know how you figured this out but am very grateful you did! $73.50 ANZ 8)

      • CBrads4 on 27/11/2021 - 13:16

        Adding the second free month code to get around the CC authorisation worked for me. Finally managed to get it to work. Thank you so much @gamerkonks - really appreciate the walkthrough.

        Revolut disposable CC came to $70.83AUD.

      • batrarobin on 27/11/2021 - 14:39

        This method worked for me but in step 3 where you said "Upgrade" to 1 month trial without coupon code", it kept giving me error about invalid credit card type, until I entered the second coupon code for free month HDHR01MONTH.

      • VikingAesir on 28/11/2021 - 17:47

        This was the only way I could use my CC, thank you!!!

      • y2k on 30/11/2021 - 09:52

        At Step 3, should I see "Add Recurring Billing" at the top? And shows total of 29.99 TRY? Do I just ignore that?

        • gamerkonks on 30/11/2021 - 10:55

          Yeah, because when you upgrade to lifetime, you won't have reoccurring billing.

          • y2k on 30/11/2021 - 10:56

            @gamerkonks: Yep, I’ve gone ahead and under Payments it shows just that lifetime amount as In Review. Thanks!

      Finally worked for me (no other methods did) - big thanks!

  • Herbse on 25/11/2021 - 11:33

    Really glad I got this. I still watch live tv for some aus shows like bluey and some reality shows and docos which can't be found online. The catch up apps have some shows sometimes but then I have to swap to my Google tv and open the app, and the quality is always worse and forced ads on the apps kills it.

    I've been using Plex for my "local media" and swap to Windows Media Centre for live tv which is so old school now but works perfectly fine, except I have not been able to upgrade away from Windows 7 because I would lose WMC.

    I've never moved away from WMC because nothing else came close for a good usable htpc DVR program which had a built in EPG that I don't have to worry about.

    I was sceptical about Plex Live DVR, I've read before that you have to mess around with EPG apps etc. But after using this today, everything worked seamlessly with my htpc, tv card and Plex home theatres program, and the guide was authorised linked.
    The recording options and the way it matches up all the shows and categories is next level. A completely new way of watching live tv which aligns with how we watch local media files. No more guide scrolling because it's all matched through the app.

    I dont know if this is all something recent or if ice just missed out for a while but I'm glad i jumped on board. And tbh even paying full price for the pass would have been worth it if I knew how well this worked for me.

    Thanks OP.

      "I've never moved away from WMC because nothing else came close for a good usable htpc DVR program which had a built in EPG that I don't have to worry about."

      Agreed! But then I've realised in the last 2~ years that FTA is totally shit and nothing worth recording… (And barely worth watching)
      I used my W7 HTPC for probably 8 years and it was fantastic.

    For those having Selected country does not match Credit Card country errors, despite following OP's steps or cnwhite82's here's what worked for me.

    If you're stuck at step three where you get the error and can't proceed:
    1. Select Subscriptions in Account Settings.
    2. Select view and modify your billing information and select Edit Billing Information.
    3. Enter your card details here and ensure that Country is set to Turkey and Update.
    4. Head over to Upgrade and you should see two options (yearly and lifetime) to upgrade here. Enter the discount code and Upgrade to Lifetime.

    I managed to use Wise as my payment method.

    • pizzanpasta on 25/11/2021 - 12:57

      Didn't work for me. Would save and revert back to Aus

  • Untalentedllama on 25/11/2021 - 12:50

    Think they just removed the code LIFETIMEOFCOMFORT - "Code not valid"

    Edit: nvm I was using a turkey VPN, disconnected it and the code worked again !
    1. Free 1 month trial with country as Aus
    2. Cancelled subscription
    3. Signed up for 1 month with Country as Turkey
    (They looked like they would bill in TRY but didn't because of the trial)
    4. Upgraded to lifetime using same payment details (28 degrees card)

    At this stage, the 'On TIDAL' music library still only plays 30 second samples of the songs.

    If I do the next steps for the "LIFETIMEOFCOMFORT" and pay, will the music library become included in the subscription?

    I've been using Kodi for 5-10 years (I'm 70 and keep forgetting things) - currently using Kodi on an Intel NUC with one TV and an XBox One S on another. Also have a Synology NAS (DS918) with 32Tb with movies, tv series, music and photos.

    Can anyone who has used Kodi and has switched to Plex tell me the advantages and disadvantages? Is it worth the effort to change? Thank you. ☺

    • rhangman on 27/11/2021 - 09:53

      Kodi is a client and database in one. Means if you have multiple players, you have to sync the content somehow. Plex on the other hand operates as a central server that all the clients access. In your case, the Plex server would like run on your NAS, then you'd need to either add a Plex addon to Kodi or swap out Kodi for an actual Plex client.

    • tm001 on 30/11/2021 - 02:17

      If you are the only one watching and only on one device, then I would say Kodi is better - as you are used to it already.
      Plex is server/client. You can have multiple users and multiple clients. You can start watching the movie at your Living room TV and then finish watching it on your mobile phone or on your bedroom TV. And at the same time, your wife can watch some other movie on the other TV or iPad, etc. It will remember each of your movies and when you stopped watching the movies.
      It is not hard to set up, but it is more complicated than Kodi. If you want to watch at various devices (TV, iPad, Phone, multiple TVs) and/or you have multiple users (you, wife, friend) or you want to watch it from outside of your home (when traveling) then you may use the DS918 and install Kodi there. It will do the transcoding for other devices pretty well (do not install inside docker - it will not allow for HW transcoding).
      And also, given the size of your collection, I think Plex may be slightly better at managing that. I used to have issues with Kodi and large media databases.
      Good luck!

  • G-rig on 28/11/2021 - 07:03

    Still considering this, good price.
    I've got a Google TV and a Rpi4 (but with audio stream OS on, volumio). The Google TV doesn't have much storage for apps and would probably need a hub to get any use out of it. I also don't have a NAS so it seems a bit pointless when I can plug a hard drive directly into the TV anyway. Kodi has always been good for this.

    Wondering if this is worth it - Rasplex would works just fine to swap sd cards. Rasplex can be either a server or a player for a separate PC or Nas. Also you can use the Plex app on your smart phone as the remote control for the player if you want.

    Ideally you probably need a nas, but can stream most tv shows/movies anyway these days (pay for Netflix, Prime, Tidal, youtube.. test a few others out here and there for a month).

    I bought this plex pass, but it turns out you have to add users are highly privileged to a "home" to get the apps for free, which was the main reason I bought it. The ios app is only $8, id rather just buy that for a few people so it functions as expected, rather than the pass for $70

    I was on my way but accidentally had yearly checked instead of lifetime. Tried to upgrade to lifetime and select Turkey on the payment page but now my banking provider keeps rejecting the payment. I'm unable to cancel either. I guess my best option at this stage is to renew during Black Friday next year?

  • Buzzkill on 29/11/2021 - 22:09

    Any thoughts on getting this to work for current Plex Pass subscribers?

    I've cancelled my Auto-Renewal and then it's giving me the yearly/lifetime prices with the discount code option.
    The discount code gives me 25% but it's still in the AU prices.
    If I select the country (Turkey) in the credit card section and hit next will it give me the altered price?

    Edit: I tried it, but it gave me the "country not matching error"
    Edit 2: Tried incognito and signed up with a different email, same issue
    Edit 3: Tried my Bankwest Mastercard, Coles Mastercard and Amex, same issue
    (this is all at the free one-month stage)

    Thanks OP @stevenx along with @gamerkonks and @cnwhite82 for the post and tips.

    Had to try a variety of methods (TBH can't remember exact sequence) but worked out well in the end… result!!
    Was just under $73 incl fees with regular CCard

    Cheers
