Plex Lifetime Pass TL₺822,99 (~A$47.67) with Oldubil @ Plex (VPN Required)

3000

A hero has emerged! So much praise to I Smell Pennies for their incredible work on helping our holidaying and migration to the beautiful country of Turkey. I thought this would be worth posting on its own, since it's great value.

For this deal, you will need to follow their instructions for the other deals to obtain a Turkish Mastercard. This can be used for their numerous other deals as well, so it's worth going through the steps (as a bonus, you'll be able to use it when you holiday/migrate also).

For those who have been holding out on Plex Pass, it's great to pick up a subscription whilst you're in Turkey, with the price dropping nominally below $50 AUD given current exchange rates. There are a few extra $$'s required for exchange fees, nonetheless this is a great time if you've been wanting hardware transcoding and app access.

Step by step:

  1. You will need an Oldubil digital card with sufficient funds to make the purchase (TL₺822,99)
  2. Once you have landed in Turkey and have access to the internet via your Turkish ISP (alternatively, you would be using a VPN. NordVPN works well in Turkey), go to the Plex Pass Upgrade landing page. If you are connected appropriately, you should see a prompt to upgrade at a monthly price in TL₺. If you see another currency, you may need to try another ISP/VPN.
  3. Click the prompt and create or login to your Plex account.
  4. Select lifetime pass for TL₺822,99
  5. Enter your Oldubil card details; as helpfully pointed out by kaneoriley the postcode 06700 is appropriate with default Oldubil bank settings
  6. You should be able to purchase the pass successfully.

Some users have had issues with their card transaction not working, so perhaps it is worth making sure you have something else you can spend your Lira on in case you can't get the transaction to go through. I had no trouble using NordVPN.

                    • @bohn: yes handy for offline viewing no doubt, can also plug in a hard drive to most tellys

                      • @G-rig: They connect over 3G/4G ;)
                        Not offline viewing.

                        In years gone by I did give them a hard drive full of content. Streaming is easier and they can watch newly released episodes etc.

                          @bohn: I keep forgetting that plex provides the content too these days, albeit pirated or P2P hosted.. Not just a dumb media player like it was.

    Is this method still working because I’ve got money in my OlduBil account and when I try to upgrade to plex pass I enter the card details from Oldu and use the postcode 06700 the price/country is Turkey and when I go to proceed it comes back:
    “Oops! Looks like we weren't able to process your payment successfully. Please try again or contact support. Cannot Authorize at this time”

    I’ve tried using both Nord & Express VPN and neither work. I also tried creating a new account as well as using an existing no luck there either

    • I'd be interested to know if there was a workaround or whether they've plugged the hole
      @I Smell Pennies might know more

  • Hi. Oldubil says it does not accept money from overseas account. How did y'all transfer money to oldubil? Thanks

  • me, blindly trusting strangers on the internet telling me where to send money… :)

    Is this deal considered expired now that we can't use Oldubil?

    • Few people in the xbox thread said payments were going through using revolut, whereas quite a few had failed using wise.

      I'm not sure that it's totally dead - yet.

    • I had money in my oldubil account from when this first came out and finally pulled the trigger on it, worked with Plex.

      why can't we use oldubil? was it a plex issue?

      • Apparently you can't(?) transfer money into Oldubil anymore

        • some people in the other thread were transferring in from revolut, but not from wise.
          not exactly sure what the go is yet.

          lots of successful transfers

          • @bohn: cheers. i'm actually heading to turkey in a week, also need this info for legitimate means haha

  • I successfully transfered more funds from Revolut over to my Oldubil app yesterday using my details I shared above. It took about 3 hours. Unsure if this is because I have done multiple transfer already?

    • Did you manage to succesfully pay plex?

          It worked! Thank you!

          • @alldiscounts: Does not work, "The recipient bank is currently not available. We apologise for the inconvenience"

    With multiple banks pulling out, I've tried another - only took a day to transfer using a different bank via Revolut method.
    Try the below and should work.

    TURK ELEKTRONIK PARA A.S.
    TR700003200000000026728078

  • Does this method still work?

      Yes, it works.

      • Sweet thanks! And you used the same Revolut method with the same bank or a new one?
