Resharing this guide after previous deal post marked as expired
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:
- 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
- Download and/or open Spotify
- Go to the get premium tab on the bottom right of the home screen
- Select any plan
- Scroll to the bottom of the payment where it says your country
- Change country to Türkiye
- Click the change plan key (had one account have issues signing up which this solved)
- Select the plan you want
- Click Google Pay
- Select your Turkish payment profile
- Select/ enter the card you want to use
To add family members:
- On the head account go to: https://www.spotify.com/tr-tr/account/family/ and get the link
- 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)
- 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
- 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
Another thought: 5 of my friend and I got together and got a family plan and we only pay $36 per year. No VPN or any fancy steps are required.. Might be simpler to do if you can find 6 people or look in the forums to find the 6 people.
