Resharing after 6 months for those unaware of the workaround to get YouTube Premium at a fraction of the normal price (with credit to HiDave for the original find). It's also around $0.27 cheaper per month now. Personally been using this for over 2 years and works flawlessly with 28 Degrees MasterCard (no fees). 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've been doing this for around 6 months now, using my Wise visa debit card I got for free ($10 otherwise) from an Ozb deal.
    I made a separate Google account just in case and copied all my subscriptions. Works great, no issues at all for me thus far.

    Not a bad price. But i'm not about to commit credit card billing details fraud to get it.

      "credit card billing details fraud"??

      Are you inventing offences for any particular reason?

      There's no fraud. It's your card, your money, your purchase. Stating an Argentinian address allows you access to purchase an otherwise geo-blocked purchase, but there's no fraud…. at all. Circumventing a geo-block isn't illegal.

    • pichxlonco on 12/06/2022 - 10:36

      I was charged tax last time, so price ended up being a bit more that the expected one, same with Netflix. I guess ymmv between different cards

  • ash2000 on 12/06/2022 - 10:17

    If you're on the Indian plan (like I am) you're paying approx AUD$1 more per month (AUD $1.40 V $2.40). The Argentian Paso has devalued in recent months making the price difference more obvious than it once was.

    With all that said, even at $2.40 per month, I'm pretty happy staying put. Why rock the boat to save just $1 when the official Australian price is $14.99 per month!

    For everyone else, Viva Argentina!

      Navigate to google.com or in Google Chrome click account and navigate to "Manage your Google Account"
      On the left hand navigation open "Payments and subscriptions"
      In "Payment methods" section find and click on link to "Manage payment methods"
      Navigate to "Settings" tab
      Find payment profiles and at this point you have 2 options.
      Close all profiles that you have and do the same for your family member and then recreate payment profile with the same address
      only delete payment profile for your family member, but entering your legal address.

          thanks mate appreciate your help, basically my steps are:

          1. VPN set to Argentina (Private Internet Access)
          2. incognito window
          3. sign in to my main Aussie Google account, it asks for 2FA and I say that it's me on the phone itself
          4. enter my Visa card details (Revolut card)
          5. Address is in format:

          Address Line 1
          Address Line 2
          Postcode
          Town/City Suburb
          Province (drop-down list)

          So I use that website to generate a random Argentinian address, and it spits out for example:

          Street: Moreno 632
          City: Zárate
          State/province/area: Buenos Aires

          So I enter that as:

          Address Line 1: Moreno 632
          Address Line 2: (blank)
          Postcode (after Googling): C1091AAN
          Town/City Suburb: Zarate
          Province: CABA (drop-down shows as Ciudad Autonoma de Buenos Aires

          EDIT: got it working after that :D

      Yes there are so MANY F..IN ads now it is unwatchable….
      Most annoyingly then the person making a video will also have their sponsors content in their video…
      and if you skip to the next one it shows you MORE F..IN ads - it should limit to a maximum number in 10 minutes rather than based on if you skip ahead to next vid

      Spotify has only two sources of income: subs and ads.

  • Morbo66 on 12/06/2022 - 12:06

    Are there any risks in using your normal account (e.g. if they find out, would they suspend or cancel your gmail?). If so i'd be inclined to just create a dummy account but i've got so many subscriptions. I know you can export subscriptions from one account to another but again i'd be concerned about any impact on my original account if they backtracked the subscriptions.

    • renarune on 12/06/2022 - 16:16

      For me, a couple times when I tried to add cards to Google pay on the Australian payment profile, the Argentinian payment profile got suspended. Doesn't affect the Australian payment profile, so I just had to delete the Argentinian payment profile and go through the Youtube sign-up process again.

  • Nefe on 12/06/2022 - 12:22

    Step 3 is only 'Sign up' or it works for 'Sign in' too? Because I want to use my own account and not a new one. Been using the 3-months courtesy.

  • Cachew on 12/06/2022 - 12:49

    Warning for others:

    I can't seem to link my main account (AU) to the new account (AR) via the family sharing, as I get the error: "It looks like you're not in the same country as the person who invited you." Even with both accounts sharing the same AR address.

    • Black Hole on 12/06/2022 - 12:55

      From my understanding, you have to invite your family into your Argentina account via vpn before you subscribed to youtube. What you need to do is to unsub to youtube, setup the invitation, and resub. I have not done it but this is what my understanding is.

      • Cachew on 12/06/2022 - 12:56

            @Black Hole: I didn't have to delete payment profile for the family account, just the account I wanted to join with. I made a new google account using argentina vpn, and that was the family account. I invited my main google account, had that error, followed those steps in that link, and I could join.

          • Cachew on 12/06/2022 - 13:56

            @Black Hole: Thanks mate, this worked! I removed the payment profile from the AR account, made it an AU account, invited family, then enabled the VPN and paid therefore converting it to an AR profile.

              EDIT: Once I removed the payment profile it looks like I was able to accept the invite from my main OZ account, but its saying I'm already a member of a family group (can only be in 1x at a time). I don't really want to leave that group as we use it for Google home and I'm not sure what the consequences would be so will just login using the AR google account to watch YouTube etc.

        • shiprekt on 12/06/2022 - 17:13

          Has anyone had any luck adding family members when already paying with AR?

          Seems even removing payment method, removing family group, then changing it back to AU account and recreating the family group, still can't join the family group saying it is in another country.

          • renarune on 12/06/2022 - 18:18

            @shiprekt: I just skipped the add family members part during subscribing then went to https://families.google.com/families (no VPN) to invite family members.

            If you already have a family group and subscribe using the account that's part of the family group then you shouldn't have to do anything special when subscribing to YouTube premium…?

            Because I've had to resubscribe a couple times (after my payment profile got suspended) and subscription automatically applied to existing family group.

          Then jumped on the chat and cancelled NordVPN for a refund. Bit of a dog act.

          But hey, ozbarginer.

        Thanks for this. Surfshark was an Argentinan IP but the server wasn't actually in Argentina. A little over my head but all solved with NordVPN.

        Appreciate the guidance!

      The VPN is one part… but you need to make sure you are using a 'clean' browser. I use Firefox for daily browsing, but when I need to be "in another country" I use Chrome in incognito mode. It's the only time I use Chrome (desktop pc), and it never fails when I need to change countries to sign up for anything.

      For reference I use NORDvpn… never fails.

    I have a Google One membership for all my drive files etc, and don't want to switch over from Australia on that or have this account banned.

    Do I have to use a separate email for YouTube?

    EDIT: Can I make a fake account, sign it up for family, and then share it with my Australian accounts?

    • Cuddlah on 12/06/2022 - 15:56

      Also curious about this but I assume just sharing the account with the Aussie one should work, did you give it a try?

      • snoopydoop on 12/06/2022 - 16:38

        Started signing up the Argentinian account then realised it needed a phone number, so gonna try when I can sus a workaround for that.

        • Cuddlah on 12/06/2022 - 16:45

          From what I've read in the comments you can just change it to AU and use your own mobile, I did that and it worked fine. Issue I had was when inviting my AU account I got the error about not being in the same country but there's a workaround for that in the comments as well

            @Cuddlah: Hi, I already used one month premium free trail via family plan and cancelled it. Now I would like to have premium for the same account. Do you know if its possible to with my existing account or do I have to create a new gmail ? Ty !
