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.

            @Spending2Much: I haven't tried this hack yet so I'm at the start of my free youtube trial. It gives me the option to use google play credit after the trial. But I'm not sure how that'll work after signing up for Argentina because you would then be getting that through an Argentinian Google account right? My google credit is only valid in my australian google account

  • benny2000 on 10/09/2022 - 14:10

    Does anyone else get the error that says 'Youtube premium is not available in your country'? Using surfshark VPN and it's coming up as being in Argentina when I test it.

    • Hellcrusher3304 on 10/09/2022 - 21:49

      It didn't work for me too. Surfshark argentina's server is virtual, not actually based in argentina.

      Try Urban Free VPN Proxy.

    • Alan78 on 14/09/2022 - 20:17

      As noted before - turned off the VPN for the payment time and everything worked well.

  • okbianca on 15/09/2022 - 21:57

    India method - no card was working anymore, so trying to use the Argentina method but it's showing me USD pricing now when trying to sign up. Anyone else?

    • renarune on 17/09/2022 - 06:24

      It might be an issue with your VPN. For me, couldn't get Windscribe to work for Argentina so signed up for Turkey.

      • branners on 28/09/2022 - 08:57

        How much per month for that, my Turkish cousin?

        • renarune on 28/09/2022 - 15:04

          I'm on the family subscription and that's TRY25.99 per month. This month, that was $2.13.

    • 73sam on 21/09/2022 - 19:17

      What VPN are you using ? Check then ip

    • bird380 on 08/10/2022 - 01:28

      Try Turkey, it works for me!
      I tried India and Argentina, but both were failed.

  • BargainBenno on 18/09/2022 - 16:17

    So i have to chznge my google address to Argentina. Then subscribe. Once ok can i change my address back to the Australian one again?

  • 73sam on 21/09/2022 - 19:16

    I got the family plan but didn’t invite any one. If I invite anyone who is in Aus and USA, will it work for them ?

    • Awsam on 30/09/2022 - 21:01

      I had to create a manager account via vpn, then login to manager without vpn
      Invite aussie family members
      Accept invites
      log back into manager with vpn, check family list, then go to /premium and sign up with Arg address at payment section.
      They all have Premium now, but im on the free month. Hopefully payment processes.

      • 73sam on 04/10/2022 - 10:55

        Since I already signed up for family plan and didn't invite anyone yet, i'm not sure if I invite them my acc would get ban ?

        • Awsam on 04/10/2022 - 11:57

          I did that.
          I closed the family plan account and created a new one.

          • 73sam on 04/10/2022 - 12:15

            @Awsam: I have already join two different family groups in this year, according to YT one can only be in two groups per year :(

  • ronald108 on 24/09/2022 - 13:06

    Still works for YouTube premium Argentina from Australia. Just used VPN to upgrade then turned off and used Mastercard to purchase.

  • ErlichBachman on 04/10/2022 - 09:53

    This worked great for me thanks so much for sharing

    Quick summary for families with existing normal (AU) gmail accounts etc. here's what i did, and here's what i found:

    • in an incognito chrome window, created a burner gmail account (no VPN or anything yet)
    • in an incognito chrome window, created my 'family' on families.google.com using the burner gmail account as the family manager (no VPN or anything yet)
    • all family members accepted the invite to join the family group (no vpn or anything yet)
    • closed all tabs and cleared history (don't think it matters given incognito anyway, but i did it all the same as took 2 seconds) and started new tabs.
    • logged onto Argentina VPN through tunnelbear (free).
    • went to https://www.youtube.com/premium and it automatically brought up the argentinian pricing when i selected family plan (still on vpn)
    • signed up using argentina address generator listed in the original post, and paid using my WISE card - the digital card details worked just fine (still on vpn), didnt need to change my billing address through wise.
    • youtube premium showed up straight away. watched a video for a couple of seconds to activate it (still on vpn) - not sure if necessary but read that step above so thought why not.
    • closed all incognito windows, cleared history again, logged off vpn

    • went back into my actual normal youtube account, showed youtube premium (and for everyone else)

    • Youtube premium works for everyone now, which is brilliant.

    • i went to add an extra family member later on (after going back into vpn first and logging back into the burner account etc), and it recognised that the new family member i tried to add was in a different country. i guess cause the argentinian payment profile was already created. so my tip is to just add everyone to the google family first. that person doesn't really youtube much so i just left them off and didn't bother changing something that was already working.

    • i also noticed in google play store today (in my mobile), that when i searched for an app it didnt come up and was coming up with argentian results. this was strange as in my play settings it says my profile is au etc.

    • all my google play app updates etc still work though so its fine

    • i googled the app i was looking for in chrome and it automatically took me to the google play link, which installed just fine through the chrome link, so i guess that's just the workaround needed now (search for apps in chrome if they don't come up in play store and just install that way instead. seems worth it for getting something for under $2 a month as opposed to $18

    anyway hope this helps, love having no ads as we use youtube a lot, and youtube music is actually really awesome. downloading things will be handy occasionally too.

    thanks again for sharing.

        • 73sam on 04/10/2022 - 11:22

          Thank you for the detailed explanation.
          I used my own account as a family manager and signed up, now on a free trail and working fine for me.
          I didn't invite anyone yet, how can I do it now if YT recognises them as they are in a different country.

          If they set VPN to Argentina- will it work ?

          • 73sam on 05/10/2022 - 00:28

    • 73sam on 05/10/2022 - 00:30

      it has something to do with payment profile, check the comments. Someone has same issue and got it fixed by doing soething in payment profile.

  • 73sam on 06/10/2022 - 00:16

    To be eligible to share a YouTube family membership, each family members must live at the same residential address as the family manager. Every 30 days, an electronic check-in will confirm this requirement.

    How does this electronic check in works ?

    • CyberMurning on 06/10/2022 - 08:49

      well they check if all the address are the same? easy i think? means whats on their database. not checking physical.
      if not the same they will send warning.
      i got one before

    Just wondering if it would be too much effort to change to let pro lapse, change county from Argentina to Australia, change to family plan (currently can't even see that option), add members to then pay for pro again with VPN? May not be worth messing with it and just open another one? Cheers

            If the price gouging wasn't so bad in Aus people would probably pay up to 10/month but closer to $20 isn't worth it.
