Resharing again after 6 months for those unaware of this workaround to score YouTube Premium at a fraction of the normal price (with full credit to HiDave for the original find). Personally been on this plan for over 18 months and works flawlessly with 28 Degrees MasterCard (no fees). Please stay safe, and enjoy :)

Very straightforward process:

  1. Use a VPN to connect to an Argentinian server (required only for registration).
  2. Open an incognito browser window.
  3. Sign up via the main link in this post (or here).
  4. If an Argentinian address is requested, use this link and Google the postcode.
  5. Pay with a card that has no foreign exchange fees.
  6. Enjoy the full benefits of YouTube Premium.

          I got it two years ago when it was all the rage. $4 a month for the family.

          This deal is better and I don't know if I can/can't be bothered switching

    • MrBr0 on 12/12/2021 - 11:54

      Which t/c are you referring to?

  • tlm on 12/12/2021 - 11:51

    Tax 65% on top?

    • Ge3ks on 12/12/2021 - 11:54

      Is India cheaper?

    • sween64 on 12/12/2021 - 15:25

      Not sure what you’re on about. Last three months I’ve paid $1.61, $1.67, $1.64.

  • ozricoy on 12/12/2021 - 11:53

    I tried to follow the instructions - using expressvpn - but I'm getting 'R$20.90/month' different currency. Not Peso for which Argentina's currency is? Am I doing something wrong?

    • GoSwans on 12/12/2021 - 13:52

      I had the same issue with Express VPN, try the free version of TunnelBear and works without problems.

    • sween64 on 12/12/2021 - 15:26

      Must sign up via a desktop browser. Mobile or mobile app has a limited number of currencies available.

    • asdfasdfasdfasdf on 12/12/2021 - 17:03

      The VPN seems to have been connecting you in Brazil as that’s Brazilian currency.

  • slickb on 12/12/2021 - 11:53

    When sigining up I get $11.99/month. Will I be charged $11.99 USD? I am using VPN set to Argentina. How do I get peso price?

    Using Proton VPN.

      I wish. Sadly no.

      These deals always fall over for me at the payment stage. I only have a plain old Australian Mastercard.

      • sarah965 on 12/12/2021 - 11:55

        Do you know any other method I can use to pay as I don’t have MasterCard ? Thanks

          The OP says a 28 Degree Mastercard. Dunno what other credit cards work. Instructions are very vague.

        • sween64 on 12/12/2021 - 15:26

          Macquarie also have fee free. BankWest used to.

        • Ginger1 on 12/12/2021 - 16:17

          I use ING savings Visa card $1.64 plus $0.04 international fee. I made a note in the bank app that I will be in my new country for 12 months🤪. For many months now, it’s going great. Love zero ads.

          I was about to but wasn't sure if they had international fees?

  • eclipse398 on 12/12/2021 - 11:54

    During registration it requires a CPF. I used some random CPF generator but didn’t work. Any help is appreciated.

      Nvm found out the vpn put me in Brazil. Used Tunnel bear and got the correct one.

    What I type the Argentina billing address my card is getting declined.

    What would I have to enter the random Argentina billing address

  • iDrownFish on 12/12/2021 - 12:07

    Hmm trying to use bitdefender vpn to connect to Argentina but it shows $11.99/mth

    Also, does this not work with a normal commbank debit card? or is it just cheaper to use a card with no foreign exchange fees

    • slickb on 12/12/2021 - 12:09

      Same here using Proton VPN. No peso price!

    Using a proxy server works just as well if you can't be bothered installing a VPN.

  • myfeetarehappy on 12/12/2021 - 12:18

    Any issues with changing credit card details after signing up? Eg. Changing to a different card provider

    • Moo Deng on 25/12/2021 - 21:34

      Nope I have just managed to sign in using Tunnel Bear VPN to Argentina and changed my debit card from ING to Crypto.com card (get 3% cashback with that and no international fees)

  • life is suffering on 12/12/2021 - 12:27

        What billing address did you provide when you entered your credit card number?

        Did you enter your name and AU address or the random Argentina address after entering you ING card details for payments

        My credit card issue declined when I entered the Argentina address after the credit card details

        • life is suffering on 12/12/2021 - 19:02

    My expressVPN shows Brazilian real instead of Argentinian peso.. Couldn't find any means to fix it so decided to move to India for $2.30 as I just couldn't be bothered anymore. Oh, aside from 28 degree, I use a Bankwest CC works wonders as well with no foreign exchange fee.

    • eLtrix on 12/12/2021 - 13:38

      Also in the same boat - VPNing to india is working as intended though.

    For those worrying about Google banning you, in my experience, nothing happened it it doesn’t seem like it will happen.

    Been charging me $2.45 every month for the Family plan

  • hypnOtixx on 12/12/2021 - 13:38

    I can never complete the sign up process - after entering payment details and submitting it just processes forever with a spinning circle in the pop up box..

    Any ideas?

    • akyeeeahdude on 12/12/2021 - 13:49

      I had the same issue too. Tried again the next day and it progressed but didn't like the random Argentinan address I entered and then it also locked the new google account I created.

  • [Deactivated] on 12/12/2021 - 13:47

    Running a few fire TVs with SmartTube Next. Between the normal ad blocking, 4K and sponsor block it’s fantastic for $59 (on sale)

    I’d have probably paid for ad free YouTube at $15 a year (not a month) but what open source apps do for free, and better, makes even these sorts of deals not even vaguely worth for me

    • AncientWisdom on 12/12/2021 - 15:26

      What's the $59 for?

      • sween64 on 12/12/2021 - 15:30

        The Amazon Fire TV stick.

      • WiTnEsS on 12/12/2021 - 15:30

    • I Smell Pennies on 12/12/2021 - 14:07

      6 people altogether (you and 5 others), total is $2.48 each month

      • Homr on 12/12/2021 - 14:10

        So $2.48 divide by 6??

        • I Smell Pennies on 12/12/2021 - 14:19

          Well yes, whoever is the family manager gets charged $2.48 per month. So about 42c each person (but you're paying for them, unless you're charging them $0.42 each month hahaha)

  • Ozico on 12/12/2021 - 13:53

    Just signed up with a new account and upgraded to a family plan.Got this message when trying to add myself as a family member:

    https://files.ozbargain.com.au/f/66/92966.jpg?h=f08ec642

    Problem while joining family group. Looks like you are in a different country from the family manager?

    Has anyone encountered this problem? Will changing location to Au on the AR account reset it to AU? BTW, VPN is off.

    • Kista on 12/12/2021 - 14:00

      Yes, I have had this problem a couple of times, I have used different VPNs and nothing helped.
      I have given up at the end.

      • Ozico on 12/12/2021 - 14:02

        I am now trying something evocable suggested at the top of this page. Let's see if it works. Though I will need to cancel my family membership now to test it.

        • Kista on 12/12/2021 - 14:35

          Let me know if that works, desperately need this to work tbh.

          • Ozico on 12/12/2021 - 15:01

            @Kista: It looks like I will need to move my existing home group to the newly created AR account. But then I might lose my google home controls. I will probably not try anymore right now and give it another consideration later… But this should work for those who have no family groups yet and nothing to lose.

  • utsc on 12/12/2021 - 14:13

    $0.06 Temporary Hold
    Reverted - The merchant cancelled this transaction. You have not been charged

    Using Revolut and my approved it but the Merchant cancelled the transaction

    Used the random address and the address was pickup correctly in the auto fill.

    Any clue why google is cancelling the transaction

    • sween64 on 12/12/2021 - 15:31

      The 6 cents would just be a credit card check. Similar to when services charge $1 here. Don’t stress.

      • utsc on 12/12/2021 - 15:33
        +1

        I was not concerned about the 6 cent but it was asking to enter a new payment method

        I solved the problem by first going into Google pay and verifying my credit card and then proceeding for payment.

    • ichigo15 on 12/12/2021 - 17:32

      I tried using Revolut and I kept getting the error "Your request failed. Ensure that your payment method info is correct or add a new payment method to your Google Account." I guess they don't accept it.

  • Rodvb on 12/12/2021 - 16:11

    Been having issues getting this to work over the last half an hour now.

    First tried cyberghost VPN, then with Tunnelbear but each time I get stuck after entering my credit card details and a random Argentinian address. The errror message I get each time is:

    Your request failed. Make sure that your payment method info is correct or add a new payment method to your Google Account. Learn more [OR-CCSEH-05]

    https://i.imgur.com/QOUwse2.png

    I also tried changing country to Turkey, no luck either.

    I only have a VISA Debit if that's perhaps the issue? I also tried with a prepaid mastercard but no luck either.

    Anyone have any ideas to get this working?

    • utsc on 12/12/2021 - 16:46

      OP may want to add this this clarification to the original post

      First set up card with Google Pay and you must verify your card by following instruction on GPay
      Use your real name (name as card)
      Use Random Argentina Address

      I used Tunnelbear VPN and created a new Google Account just in case the account gets locked up
