I will start by apologising for the awful title and description - it's been a while hahah.

ANDROID WORKS - took me 1 to 2 minutes total to sign up.
Apple I don't know if there's a method - could android vm or use someone elses phone as a one off?

Roughly a year ago Spotify and Google play store made a press release stating that they were going to be trialing Google Pay and Merchant Pay. I checked it regularly and within the last week or two it has finally been added!

METHOD:

Pre-existing spotify account:
I Smell Pennies @OB

New/ Free Accounts

Blue Stacks (PC) - IOS alternative/ android back up method:
Iangh @OB
Android:

  1. Set up a Google Play account with a Turkish payment profile - after looking to save myself some effort this deal by alcheron's comment explains it pretty well - thanks SuBw00FeR for helping me find the correct one
  2. Download and/or open Spotify
  3. Go to the get premium tab on the bottom right of the home screen
  4. Select any plan
  5. Scroll to the bottom of the payment where it says your country
  6. Change country to Türkiye
  7. Click the change plan key (had one account have issues signing up which this solved)
  8. Select the plan you want
  9. Click Google Pay
  10. Select your Turkish payment profile
  11. Select/ enter the card you want to use

To add family members:

  1. On the head account go to: https://www.spotify.com/tr-tr/account/family/ and get the link
  2. Follow that link on the child account, enter in the same address as is on the head account (I used an NZ one and it worked, just make sure they are the same)
  3. I experienced issues adding one account, it was saying it was from a different account to the head - if you get this issue on their account go to: https://www.spotify.com/tr-tr/account/profile/ and check what country is listed. If it is New Zealand/Aus/anywhere other than turkey get them to connect via turkish VPN (I used PIA) and it'll give them the option to change it to Turkey
  4. They can then follow the same family link and use the same address as the head account and it should work now

And you're now sorted with what I believe is the cheapest Spotify Premium price currently available.

This method is imo less effort, cheaper, and doesn't need to be renewed, like the previously available cheap Spotify option posted on OzBargain

Any issues feel free to comment and hopefully we can troubleshoot it.

Thanks to Wakrak for formating help

    This is great for us but are there any impacts to the pricing going up for these countries?

    • Rowjo on 25/02/2023 - 15:25
      +2

      I mean looking at Netflix - they seem to keep it consistent with turkish inflation which is what I would assume spotify would do
      No different to using any other country to pay such as brazil imo
      But every business will be different so unfortunately I can't really give you an answer

    • Geoff-bargain on 25/02/2023 - 15:45

      Price goes up as currency goes down so its the same.

    • DrScavenger on 25/02/2023 - 17:19
      -3

      Of course. More people sign up and they will increase the price. We are basically screwing the locals there. If it's any consolation you will also pay Turkish equivalent of GST which means helping turkey rebuild.

  • SuBw00FeR on 25/02/2023 - 15:24

    I think I'm blind where does I Smell Pennies say how to make a turkish payment profile?

  • zanzir on 25/02/2023 - 15:27

    • Rowjo on 25/02/2023 - 15:28
      +2

      Which is what I was suggesting with the: use someone elses phone as a one off - I feel it would definitely work, but still a pain for IOS users
      Gosh you OZBargain guys are fast with the viewing and comments hahahahahah

      • zanzir on 25/02/2023 - 15:30

        nah i dont think you need to use a phone at all. sign up to google one via desktop browser then go to spotify on the browser web app and sign up using google i think.

        • Rowjo on 25/02/2023 - 15:33

          :o that would actually be amazing

              Yeah I know I’m literally the one who posted all those VPN hacks but I meant all Aus cards decline when signing up with Spotify Turkey via web (not with Google Pay). On web you don’t get Google Pay options

              BUT I just realised I read the original comment wrong and that’s why you’re giving me these replies lol. my bad

        • illusion99 on 25/02/2023 - 16:07

    • Click google pay
    • Select your turkish payment profile

    I'm at this part, when I click on Google Play it doesn't come up to select my payment profile, if I click continue with google play it says "isn't available in your country" do I click on "update your country" in google play settings?

    • Rowjo on 25/02/2023 - 15:42

      Under google play store - settings - account and device preferences - country and profile
      Double check it is showing your Türkiye profile
      and way back when I first set it up I had so many issues - restart your phone once youve done this then try spotify

      • SuBw00FeR on 25/02/2023 - 15:46

        Hmm yeah it's not showing my Turkiye profile there. Why would that be?

          https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/7431675?hl=en
          I think you may need to use a VPN once off to set the google play country from memory but don't need to use a VPN anytime after that
          Makes it easier if all other payment profiles are deleted also
          Other option others found - sometimes it is just easier to make a whole new google account to create a turkish payment profile from

          • SuBw00FeR on 25/02/2023 - 15:50

            @Rowjo: Yeah was gonna say might be easier to have a separate account since this is my main google account, don't really wanna be deleting stuff from it.

      • olympicwiz on 26/02/2023 - 15:38

        Hi, I did all that. Playstore showing a Turkey profile with a CC attached. Spotify app location was changed to Turkey using VPN in the settings but I still keep getting “ isn't available in your country”. Restarted my phone to no avail. Could it be that I need a new Spotify account I wonder?

        • jamba on 26/02/2023 - 15:40

          I tried with a new Spotify account. No joy

          • Borg on 27/02/2023 - 12:54

            @jamba: Likewise. I can't work out why. In my case, Google Pay doesn't even show up as an Option.
            - Spare Android Phone used.
            - New Google Account setup with Country (Turkyie) showing & even a address in Turkey (checked).
            - Payment methods: Visa card Added.
            - New Spotify Account Setup (with Turkey VPN On) and does show as Turkey (TRY shows as Payment).
            - Tested logging in with both email address & then using Google as login method (which is the Turkey account).
            …………….just no Google Pay as payment option. Am I missing something obvious?

            Further Info: Spotify is in Turkish as also have Turkey recommendations so confirms that it is Turkey. I also uninstalled Spotify and reinstalled. Still no Google Pay

    Question - why Spotify over YT Premium?

    • Danneo on 25/02/2023 - 16:01

      Yeah, I was gonna asked what advantage does it have over YouTube music

    • Rowjo on 25/02/2023 - 16:01
      +1

      I have both - using this method from memory YT premium is 2.3AUD(2.5NZD)/month for family plan of 6
      Spotify has better playlists and more music it feels like (YRMV), and Ive used it for about 4 years so feels more natural to me

      • kyoumei on 27/02/2023 - 20:37

        For YT prem, how much is that in try?

        I'm paying 59.99TRY for family plan and my bank converts it to 4.75aud with 0.13 overseas fee

        • Rowjo on 27/02/2023 - 21:13

          I just checked it is 59.99 TRY - I was going off the price I subscribed at about 1year ago (rough estimate)
          I couldn't check easily as I am just a 'member' of the family
          Thanks for the correction :)

    • Lucille Bluth on 25/02/2023 - 16:03
      +4

      I have both. It's mostly a personal choice. But reason I prefer Spotify are for the following reasons

      • Wrapped (I have the generated list since the very first year they released this feature, and I now don't want to miss a Wrapped year - genius from their part for introducing this feature
      • Spotify has slightly higher audio quality
      • Easier to control Spotify on my existing devices
      • I prefer the UI of Spotify
      • Spotify Garmin smartwatch integration
      • cheaptech20 on 25/02/2023 - 16:56

        Thanks
        So for Android/Samsung users - mostly no benefits besides wrapped?
        YT Music for me then - I like the baked in ad free youtube

        • SpainKing on 26/02/2023 - 14:18

          It can also be hard to find original/explicit version of songs because YouTube defaults to censored/Vimeo versions much of the time

      Make sure your spotify is up to date, the country at the bottom of the payment screen is showing turkey, and currency is showing TRY
      If you are using a current account check https://www.spotify.com/tr-tr/account/profile/ make sure this has turkey - if not use a vpn and it will let you change it - I had to do this to add an account to the family plan

  • Hornpub on 25/02/2023 - 17:03

    1)does this work for existing spotify premium user?
    2)does google pay only accept VISA/master cards?

    • illusion99 on 25/02/2023 - 18:25

      No to question 1. Yes to question 2

      • illumination on 25/02/2023 - 18:34

        I think the answer to 1 is not a flat no. But presumably you'd have to let your existing subscription expire first before trying to re-subscribe.

        • illusion99 on 25/02/2023 - 18:36

          Yes correct. Which means you are not a premium plan member at the time you are doing this hack

          • Hornpub on 25/02/2023 - 23:37

    • illusion99 on 25/02/2023 - 17:35

      You may need to create a new account. Google Play didn't appear as an option for my old account. I had to create a new Spotify account and then it appeared. Or you could try log off and log back in to Spotify

      • jpoomate231 on 25/02/2023 - 17:45

          As google play payment isnt supported in NZ/AUS yet as far as Im aware

          • illusion99 on 25/02/2023 - 18:22

            @Rowjo: You can’t change the country if you are already on a premium subscription (even with vpn). You can only change it if you are on the free plan

            • Rowjo on 26/02/2023 - 09:55

              @illusion99: I would assume to do this deal regardless you would either have to use a new account or let the old one lapse so that's a bit of a moot point?
              plus you might as well use the remaining of your current subscription?

              • illusion99 on 26/02/2023 - 10:02

                @Rowjo: Yes that’s right. But judging from a lot of comments here people are trying to change or use an existing premium account. Maybe add that to the original post that you need a new account or a on premium account

                • Rowjo on 26/02/2023 - 10:04

    However at the payment page, no Google pay option.

    Only credit card and courier invoice options.

    Can anyone help?
