Damn I didn't. Just went back to that email and saw the 'agree to price' button.
When I click it now it goes to YouTube and times out.
Potentially everyone who has been thrown out this week is because of that….
Ah hayır!
I just got the email also. Any other workarounds?
If you only use on Android devices (phone,TV etc) then there's a few workarounds that can be side loaded. And they are free.
If they do this to me I'll just cancel and start using things like YouTube revanced.
The subscription isn't worth more than $2-3 a month at end of day.
Me too
yep revance on samsung phone and something beta on samsung tv
cant stand the ads…..Revanced had these google ads too
Were you using gift cards or a credit card ?
I pay for mine with Bankwest credit card
Godspeed
Had to resub using Chile via Revolut
Turkey, india etc wouldnt work for me..
Nigeria is the go apparently.Mine got cancelled today after paying for three years in Argentina. Asking $42 per month for a family account. Too much. Just installed this in my Chromecast.
Zero ads.Am being kicked off South Africa premium…
Guys subscribe via your apple Turkey account
How do we do this? 🙏
Received today YouTube argentina
YouTube Premium memberships based in Argentina require a form of payment issued in Argentina.
To maintain your membership, please update your form of payment to one issued in Argentina before November 14, 2024. If you do not update your form of payment, your membership will not renew automatically, and you will lose access to your YouTube Premium benefits.
UPDATE FORM OF PAYMENT
When did you join ?
2021
I got to same email - same date as well..
At least we have time to suss out what we are doing.I find it a strange business practice for YT to do this - atm they are still getting money out of us but there are so many other easy ways to skip the ads for free.
Mine gets cancelled on the 1st of November. I have a spare iPhone logged in with a Turkish Apple ID and loaded up with Turkish Apple gift cards, currently paying for Google One, OneDrive and Disney+, so I'll report back in if I can sign up for YT Premium through the App Store.
do you have a link to the turkish apple gift cards?
I got cancelled even I had agreed to the price change. I had also tried VPN to India to renew the subscription and got the "cannot verity your country'. Now I am using the Turkish Apple gift card method with double the new price in India.
Not only they are trying to prevent the cross-border subscription (VPN), they have removed/disabled some of the popular ad blockers on Chrome and Youtube as well. So greedy.
I received the dreaded email from YT today. Currently I pay via Turkey using an Australian credit card. Did the Turkish Apple gift card method work for you? Did you have to create a new YT account or where you able to transfer it across?
@ytm: Currently I am using the Turkish Apple gift card method for iCloud & YT. No new YT account is required, just log in with your Turkey AppleID and subscribe on your Apple device.
Apple gets a small bite (~30%) from all the purchases and subscriptions via their appstore/platform, hence this method is more expensive than the credit card subscription method.
Yes same. Today I received the same message but for Turkey. Is there a solution to this?
Have just got this one for turkey :(
Can we use Wise and purchase Turkish Lira and use it as payment method tho?
Any one tried virtual credit cards?
The only one I found is gpaynow, but that looks pretty dodgy
Found gpaynow as well. Not sure what to make out of a minimum USD spend on the card from $100 to $200. No reviews online.
Me too…. Been a good few years. Guess the jig is up!
I resolved my Turkey YouTube premium the following way:
1) Open an ininal account at ininal.com. there's a bit of work and involves sending them a photo of yourself holding your passport, but eventually you can get it done.
2) install mobile app, change language to English and create a virtual debit card
3) install Remitly on your phone and send money into your ininal debit card. If you are looking at individual YouTube account you can just send 600 TRL roughly 28 bucks. If you are looking at the family plan send roughly 1500 TRL which should suffice for a while year
4) using a VPN connect to Turkey. I suggest to use this free VPN : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.secure.hot…
Nordvpn doesn't work well for this.
5) open an incognito window in your browser. Log in into YouTube.com. openg Google (still in incognito) and search for "YouTube premium". Click on that and it should bring you to the page where you can select the type of subscription. Select the one you want.
6) input your ininal card details and sctivat your subscription.
7) that's it, close the incognito window, disconnect the von and open yout YouTube app on your phone, which should now say "Premium".So weird. That Turkish VPN I linked was working perfectly yesterday and I could activate 2 different accounts with it, on 2 different phones and on from 2 different countries. Today when I try, it keeps saying "we couldn't verify your country" or "this offer is not available". Plus when you search 'YouTube premium" on Google it seems to show prices in dollar, which means the VPN is somewhat failing to hide the real location. Need to look for a better VPN I guess.
My Turkey account is now dead as well. Surely there is another way to not get ripped off? There isn't even a family option in Australia.
There isn't even a family option in Australia.
There is, it is $32.99 per month.
I'm on Algeria which is DZD 1,549.00 for family = ~$17.58 AUD. Not as good as Argentina, Turkey, India, Mexico etc but better than the $33 they wanna charge for Australia.
Strange because when I type "buy YouTube Premium" in google search I get no option for a family plan?
@CodeXD: I was on a PC not my phone and there was no option for family.
Anyway, there's no way I'm paying that much simply to remove ads (I do not use the music service and only watch YouTube).
Did you accept the updated pricing? My notice said accept or we will cancel your account.
Action needed
To keep your Premium benefits, you will need to accept the new price by clicking the button below and clicking ‘Agree to price’ on the following screen. If you take no action by October 3, 2024, your subscription will end before the new price takes effect.
