So apparently everyone got a notification to 'spend' everything earlier this month - unfortunately i missed it and i got about 90 or so bucks or so worth of turkish lira
anyway anyone worked out a way to spend the remaining balance ideally on a gift card that can be used somewhere else - or is this essentially just dead money now
At first I thought it was that mangy autocorrect correcting audible to oldubil.
I used mine on Ebay shopping. It worked.
which ebay
Australia of course
darn didnt work for me thanks for the suggestion - hopefully something works i dont want to completely lose the cash
Aliexpress?
Turkish xbox games store. Games there are significantly cheaper than the Australian store.
Thanks i 'topped up' my turkish itunes account was literally the ONLY thing that worked i tried about 15 different things 1st
trying to issue if there is a way you can use your apple ID balance on apple pay otherwise ill just use it for iTunes music when my turk Spotify is done - at least i didnt completely lose the money
Why not subscribe to spotify using ur turkish itunes acc? Sorry I can’t try it but i subscribe to other stuff using that
Can u use that to top up turkey App Store?
Not that I can unfortunately
I used up all the funds and bought iTunes e-pin in OlduBil, only this way to top up my Turkey Apple Store/iTunes Store. They just need your correct email. The phone number is optional as of today.
Yes it works, now i have apple music for 20 turkey dollars each month, good deal!
@mooreshady - Spot on, use the Oldubil app, click on epin and buy a gift card, I bought 2 Turkish Lira Netflix gift cards and loaded them onto my 'Turkish' Netflix account. This was a really simple way to use up the funds. @Blur
How did you redeem the code? I got a netflix code but it wasn't a proper gift card number
Any other options besides Turkey iTunes?
Following this because I wasn't paying attention and missed the notifications.
Spotify cannot/will not take payment, and now I have a fair balance of TRL to use.
I guess the Turkey iTunes means I need to create a new apple itunes account specifically in Turkey. Sigh.
Replying to this thread so anyone else with ~800 TRL has a suggestion on how to spend it.
I ended up creating a Turkish iTunes account using a private window on my Mac, and then bought the e-pin iTunes cards (500x1 and 100x3)
In order to BUY the epin voucher, I had to provide a turkish mobile number.
It never sent any code to it, only to my email address (but it did reject one website that was giving free receipt of sms). Try some sites, or just make up a number.
I then vpn'ed to Turkey and logged into the new Turkish account on my ipad, then started to redeem the cards.
The 2nd two cards seemed to fail, but I figure the VPN or iTunes login timed out.
When i logged in again, they were added to my balance.
I created a family with the new Turkish a/c and invited the old a/c
then I subscribed to iCloud+
and had to go to the old a/c and accept the invite and start to use the 200gb data (the old had maxxed out. 50gb - not sure if I need to manually cancel that 1.49 sub?)
seems to be working now.
hey guys…. help from those who are more resourceful than me…. I have about 60 AUD worth of TRY i have actually used e-Pin (from Oldubil) to buy Google Play gift cards… but i was shocked it didnt accept the gift card despite already using VPN based on Turkey…. any help or idea? Google first detects and validates the Gift Card code… but it refuse to add because it says can only be activated in Turkey.
Never got the notification as I have no idea what/who Oldubil is.
