Apple TV+ Monthly ₹99 (~A$1.89), Annual ₹999 (~A$19.10) via Apple Store Card from Amazon India (India Apple ID & VPN Req'd)

2980

Please follow the steps

Step 1. Create an Indian Apple ID at appleid.apple.com/en-in . You go to "Create your apple ID" You enter your first and last name, India, date of birth, an email that you have not used before for Apple, and your Australian phone number, change the prefix to Australia (as they will send you confirmation codes) .

Step 2. Go to Amazon Australia to your account and add an Indian address.

Name: Your name and surname
Street: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Int'l Airport Rd
City: Mumbai
State/Province/Region: Maharashtra
Postal Code: 400099
Phone Number: 1234567890

Step 3. (Incognito mode recommended) Buy an apple store card on Amazon India. You log in with your Amazon account. Write the desired amount (999 rupees for Apple TV+, which is what the annual cost is). You click to pay by card and write your full name and your card (Revolut it's recommended, but any card should work).

Step 4. They will send you a code by email to the email you have in your Amazon account. Now download the Apple Music app (both IOS and Android). You log in with the email you created in step 1.
You go to the settings (top right over the 3 dots). Click "Account" and then "Redeem gift card or code." Copy and paste the code that was sent to you by email (App Store Code). And you will already have your 999 rupees in your Apple account. Important : Add the Indian address from step 2 with the same details in "Account" - "Payment Information" in the Apple Music app. Mod 14/5/24: If you cannot redeem, see here.

Step 5. (Incognito mode recommended) Visit tv.apple.com and log in, click the profile picture at the top right and then click "Settings" . Scroll down to "Subscriptions" and select "Manage". You select the monthly subscription of 99 rupees and click to accept. After completing the monthly subscription, you again go to “Subscriptions” and “Manage” and switch to the annual subscription of Rs 999 which is cheaper than going month to month.
Although VPN India might not be required, in case it doesn't direct you to apple tv India, switch your VPN ON to India.

All content will be the same as Apple TV Plus AU. No VPN will be required to watch.

  • Surfshark does.

  • I can only see 2000 amount in step 3

    All looks good, seems to be working on my end. Only difference to the above steps was that when I went to sign up to Apple TV under my new icloud account that I created, it recognised that I hadn't used the 7 day free trial previously for Apple TV, so hence I signed up for the 7 days, and then changed subcription method to annual, so I assume in 7 days time it will roll into an annual subscription and use my account balance of 999INR. So really, 1 year and 7 day subscription for $20 odd AUD, awesome deal!

      I actually received 3 months free apple tv with the new apple id. So ended up getting 15 months for $19.10 AUD

      • how please?

        • No idea how. They offered 3 months free trial so I took it

  • +2

    Worked like a charm.

    One point - the URL above has an extra space in it "amazon.in/hfc/bill /apple_store_codes". Remove the space after "bill", like this:

    amazon.in/hfc/bill/apple_store_codes

  • What VPN are you guys using? I have NordVPN but no Indian servers

    • PrivadoVPN - free with my usenet provider.

    • +1

      Most likely the VPN it's not required. It's only if you stack at step 5 and apple tv india doesn't come up, that's when you might need it.

      • Thanks OP it worked without thr need of the VPN. I tried signing in on apple tv but looks like it doesn't work. Might need a VPN to watch on the apple tv

  • on VPN or not I get:
    Your request could not be completed at this time.
    Your account cannot be created at this time.

    any ideas?

  • I am getting "There was an error. Please try later." on step 5. Anyone else?

    • Yep, same issue. Query whether a VPN might help.

      • nope, tried 2 different VPNs

        • +1

          Just tried again without a VPN in an incognito tab and it worked.

          • +2

            @Zer00000: Tried on my phone, worked ;)

            • @abs898: damn, no luck on incognito either

  • +3

    done, all working with no vpn used at any stage.

    Looks like so much effort 🤣

            @Wally: SEARCH ON HERE?

            My mum got 12 months free with her IPAD, she gave me the code. I then got 6 months free with PS5. I then got 2 separate codes off here!

                @furythree: It came with alot of apple products, and no one uses it

                There's been heaps of codes posted on ozbargain,not my fault your blind or can't use a search function.

                • @[Deactivated]: My Internet and site search capability is just fine ..

                  Your the one that made the comment
                  " Apple keeps giving out free codes LOL"
                  .. so you post a current code that actively works obtained from Ozbargain or the ENTIRE internet

                  • -3

                    @Wally: Why?

                    I don't owe you a code, go do your own dirty work.

                      @[Deactivated]: ur reading comprehension sucks

                      u claim apple gives away free codes

                      its not free if u have to buy something with it.
                      and such a claim is pointless if its single use

                      if it were a generic code apple gives out that would enable anyone to use it to get a free few months, that would be totally different and be worthy of bringing up

                      And nobody said we werent aware these codes are posted on ozbargain. The point is these circumstantially accessible single use codes arent worthy of boasting about

                    • @[Deactivated]: The site and community is all about sharing .. not boasting

      • or no price. you can find deals for 2-3 month codes and also with purchase of suitable apple device (tv / phone/ ipad etc..) you get 3 month voucher as well… So if you time it right, you may not need to pay much.

    Step 2. Go to Amazon Australia to your account and add an Indian address.

    Name: Your name and surname
    Street: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Int'l Airport Rd
    City: Mumbai
    State/Province/Region: Maharashtra
    Postal Code: 400099
    Phone Number: 1234567890

    Wouldn't it be better to use a random address?

    If everyone on here, Chollometro, MyDealz, etc. are using the same address then aren't we just making it super easy for Apple to identify accounts for termination?

    • +2

      Good point. If someone wants to try a different address and report back that it worked, that would be nice.

      • No issues with registering the account using a random address, but it did force me on a 7 day trial (was that supposed to happen?) so I have to wait a week for confirmation that the charge for 1 year goes through from my Apple ID balance.

    • random address

      You learn something everyday in ozb. kudos to you!

    • Thanks for the suggestion - I used a random address and it also worked fine. :-)

  • Thanks Scrooge. You are a true gentleman sir and I dips my top hat to you.

  • +4

    Also for a little more you can get Apple one that includes Apple music, Apple arcade and iCloud storage

    • +3

      Oh, I didn't realize you already posted this method before.

    • +1

      Is there a way to get the premier version so I can share it with other family members?

      And is the Itunes 2TB shared between the 6? Like can I see what user 2 or 3 has in their stored portion of the 2TB?

      • Currently Premier tier isn’t available in India.

        • Nice. Don't have an apple device though, so couldn't get the One through my browser.

  • +1

    Legend.

    Waiting for my 7 Day trial to wear off and to get charged.

  • Thanks OP. It works for me with Wise digital debit card and Windscribe VPN

  • Anybody getting the issue with needing a UPI ID in step 5?

    When I try to sign up for the free trial it says I need to put in a valid payment method with the only option being the UPI. I already have the gift card balance added and the address set in apple music

    • Same for me. Also tried on my mobile with incognito and no deal. Frustrated.

      • +1

        Found a way. This may work for you or not, but it worked for me. I just put random initials before '@paytm' for the UPI id. For example, Coffee@paytm, Ozb@paytm, Rm@paytm etc. Hope this helps.

        • I tried this and found an address that worked but it then asked for verification. I found an alternative solution which I posted below

  • Thanks OP

  • Needed to go on mobile and incognito to get past step 5.

  • Thanks, uncle Scrooge. It worked!

    Edit - does anyone know how to stack? Is it the same method but I have to wait for the trial to finish?

  • -1

    Thanks OP, worked.
    Amazon India accepted Wise card

  • Note that some of you might get the issue with needing a UPI ID in step 5. This is because you're trying to directly activate the 7-day trial. If you follow the instructions on this post, you won't face that issue.

  • Awesome! My westpac & wise debit card didn't work. Had to use revolut.

  • Thanks Scrooge! Worked perfectly for me - no VPN required and I put in a random Indian address - didn't use the Mumbai Airport one

  • Would Citibank Debit work? I have never used Wise or Revolt. It does seem worth it for $20!

    • -2

      LOL 'too much effort' now came crawling back
      Just try your card anyway, see if it works
      Worst case you wait a week for AMZ India to refund you if they cancel

      • I haven't signed up yet, tbh I don't watch alot of TV.

        I got Spotify family account on here, I've never used it lol

        I use YouTube premium, that's about it.

  • I had issue with the Android Apple Music map so used the iTunes app on my PC to redeem the gift coupon. Otherwise same process. I think I needed the VPN to subscribe to AppleTV+. It threw an error on my first attempt before I turned it on.

  • How much is apple tv+ in turkey

  • Does this method also allow you to buy and rent movies and TV shows at the cheaper Turkish prices?

  • +5

    Thanks OP. About 20 bucks for year. Process is not that hard. I had amazon IN account, bought 999Rs gift card, downloaded Music app on android, created new apple account and logged into app, redeemed code in app, logged into apple tv on pc, went to settings and subscribed.

  • I am in India at the moment so I can do it for you. Give me your credit card :) :)

    Hint- Don't !!

  • +2

    Monarch (Goziiillaaaa) show coming soon

  • I’m getting stuck on Step 3 - payment has failed twice now (once with Revolut, once with Wise)

    • Same problem here, tried NAB Credit card , Debit card, and Revolut, all of them got order cancelled. Any help please?

      • me too… 28 degrees went to send SMS confirmation code but never arrives

        • Ah! They were going direct into my SMS spam… all good and subscribed!

  • Worked as described! Thanks Op. Now I can continue the series I have started - Morning War, Lessons in Chemistry

  • Can anyone help me please. I'm only getting the first 30sec of a show then it stops with Unable to play. Using google TV with no VPN. Thanks

  • Whats the best VPN for India paid or free, I don't mind either, as I need to buy VPN as well since my Nord is about to expire hahah

  • -1

    You've got to get apple tv like this , forget it !
    What a pain in the rectum …..

  • Thanks OP, my 3 month free trial from Telstra is just about to run out so this will come in handy.

    I thought that I would try a month first just to make sure that it all works…

    Working perfectly, will sign up for a year now.

    I've been using Apple TV for over a year now but this is the first time that I have ever paid for it and at these rates, it's worth it!

  • Can you family share with Apple TV plus? I thought only iCloud+

    • yes you can, but I think everyone has to be on Indian appleID otherwise only iCloud is shared

  • thanks for the write-up. probably won't use this as much as the other streaming services, but for $19, the idea of adding this to my collection of streaming services is pretty appealing.

  • Thanks, signed up for this yesterday. So I'll need to go through the same process when the year is up?

  • mmm, I got all the way to the Apple TV site and now it is asking me for a payment method and the only options are to select UPI as the payment type and enter a UPI code. No idea what UPI is.

    • Assuming you redeemed code and already entered address in music app. Now Ignore upi and go to profile in top right corner, settings, scroll down and subscribe. Try on PC browser.

      • If I do not add the UPI then it just logs me out. I have not been able to use the amazon voucher anywhere yet.

        • +1

          Use code in music app first. It will ask you for address then enter one. This will save billing information. Once you redeemed it then open apple tv in pc browser. This time you can skip UPI and won’t log you out. Same thing happened to me. It kept logging me out till I redeemed code and added billing information in Music app.

  • I have never had/used a VPN. Any provider tips, suggestions or deals please friends?

  • Oh might try this !
    Will I be able to access Apple TV + on my Apple devices signed into my main AppleID (not the Indian one) ?

    • works for me - you sign in to Apple TV+ separately

  • Anyone have issues with the page to create apple ID? appleid.apple.com/en-in - doesn't seem to work at my end, just says Connection was reset

  • In step 3, payment failed with my westpac mastercard credit card, but was successful with a comm bank mastercard debit card.
    Thanks!

  • Thank you, OP.
    I followed your step-by-step guide and started watching Apple TV on my PC in minutes!
    Much appreciated!

  • This might be a dumb question but I assume i'd have to sign into my Apple TV 4K using the new email address and have to re-download apps onto the new profile?

  • has this stop working?
    the ID I used no longer working, it gives an error "This Apple ID is not active".
    It previously worked.

    • Just came here because I have the same problem

  • Hey @Scrooge McDeal,

    Could also add some stuff from Marky Gurman (Official Apple Leaker) around this tweet.
    https://x.com/markgurman/status/1717180674283811128
    TLDR: Apple TV+ Annual $69 to $99 USD.

  • +1

    Worked for me, thx OP. Can setup standalone Apple TV's with Apple TV+ now (also the Apple branding dept should be fired).
