2850

Hi OzBargainers!

Hope you are well and i promise this is not wirtten by ChatGPT (wink).

So, if you're a YouTube Premium user , you might've noticed things getting a little… sketchy lately. Like, one minute you're streaming without a care in the world, and the next, you’re about to pay $40 aud per month or lose all your Premium perks and don’t even want to think about downloading some random app from the dark side of the internet. Well, don't worry – I’ve got something that might just save you from the abyss!

Inspired by This post from RebeccaSkittles who helped me obain a Disney+ plan (I believe it still works albeit it says expired). The method also seems to work for YouTube Premium, so you might just save your membership from going the way of the dodo!

How to Redeem

  • Create a Turkey Apple ID: When creating your Apple ID, ensure that your region is set to Turkey to ensure compatibility with this deal. For the smoothest experience, use an Apple device with Safari as your browser. If the creation process encounters errors, try again on another device. Problems may occur on other browsers for reasons unknown. Create your Turkey Apple ID at appleid.apple.com.

  • Once Registered, go to Settings - click your name on top - select Payment & Delivery or Subscription to make sure you can keep you main apple account signed in but using the new turkey apple ID to sign in for subscriptions and/or payment.

  • Purchase Apple Gift Cards: Visit turgame.com(https://turgame.com) to purchase Apple gift cards in Turkey. Please note that it may take up to 20 minutes for your gift card to appear after purchase. Additionally, you might not need to complete the verification process. Simply view your order, and if no action is required, check your banking app to confirm if you've been charged. If you have been charged, your card is on its way. If not, or if you encounter any issues, contact their support at support.turgame.com(support.turgame.com). I had a 20mins and a 3hours procceing time for two different transaction.

  • Once you got them go to Apple store click on the upper right corner then redeem gift card or code, enter your gift card code and redeem you Turkish lira credit

  • Open YouTube on your phone make sure you signin with the account you want to set up for family plan. click your profile icon "you" down the bottom right and then select youtube premium membership, then there is a line of blue word i remember saying sign up family plan and follow the promp to complete set up.

Important Notes:

  • No VPN is needed to access this deal. Simply create a Turkey Apple ID and purchase Apple gift cards from turgame.com to take advantage of these incredible savings.
  • When redeeming the gift card in the App Store, ensure that you have an address handy. You'll only need to log out of the iTunes and App Store Apple ID, not your main one. This allows you to switch between accounts without interrupting subscriptions or payments.
    Known Issues and Tips.
  • Differnt from Disney+, you can only set up monthly payment for YT Premium so make sure you check your account regularly for balance.
  • Heard the same method applies to India with a cheaper price ($5 per month) but i dont know a place to purchase India Itunes gift card.

Hope it helps and enjoy your subscription, and happy streaming and subscribe to PewDiePie!

Disclaimer: Please note that the effectiveness of the workaround methods may vary, and it's always a good idea to ensure you have sufficient funds in your account before attempting the subscription purchase. Prices mentioned are subject to change and may vary based on currency conversion rates. Please verify current prices before making a purchase.

    By the way, this also posted on reddit

  • thanks, will try this if the wise card renewal falls through.

    • +1

      My first renewal went fine, then just now got a message saying my plan will stop at end of month (not even change payment method). Might need to jump on the gift card route then

  • Do they sell prepaid master/visa cards in India?

  • I’ve got until next month to “update your form of payment” for YouTube Premium. So do I just cancel my subscription now and use this method? Or wait until it get cancelled by YouTube?

  • you absolute legend mate. thanks very much on behalf of everyone on Ozb!

    • +3

      You deserve the real credit here with your original M365 find that spawned all of this :D

    Heads up, I did this with nba league pass last season but now I’m locked out of the Turkish Apple ID and can’t get back in after using one of those temp numbers. That’s probably on me

    But I found it easier to set VPN to Israel for family plan. Works out to $19 a month, I’ve got full family slots with my wife and mates inside, so I’m happy to pay that for 6 people’s premium.

    Every other country you try to VPN to that’s cheaper tends to not work, but Israel is working still, no address required

  • Worked perfectly! Thanks mate

  • This will work for solo plans?

    • Don't see why not, or you can get family and seek other ppl to join for a small fee or give it away .

    • Yes, just did it for individual plan.

      I am now debating how much itunes giftcard to purchase.

  • +1

    Got the email as well, $32.99 for a family plan, they can (profanity) off if they think I'll pay that per month.

    • Welcome to the Apple Turkey club :D

      • lol, Israel FTW :-)

        @XxBargainHuntaxX21 you're a legend !!!!!

        • +1

          $19 a month for a family plan is still too much.

          • +1

            @Save 50 Cent: Better than $33, each family member costing around $3.80 per month I can live with without having to stuff around with Apple accounts and risking being ripped off by buying o/s giftcards from randoms on the internet.

            Truth be told we are all living on borrowed time anyway for these types of accounts.

          • @Save 50 Cent: Yes, it's hardly any cheaper for all the fk around. Thailand is about $15/month so that's at least less than half price.

  • Can I use this method, then sign into YouTube premium on an Android/Google Tv device?

    • +1

      Yes

  • I bought a gift card from G2A.com yesterday. They’re a marketplace with multiple sellers. I chose someone with 100% feedback and 10k+ orders.

    500 Turkish Lira gift card cost me $23.56 on a 28 Degrees CC (exchange rate $22.44) so not too bad.

    Just install Smart tube app on your TV and you’ll never have to pay for it in any currency.

    • -1

      You can but its no different to bootlegging a genuine legit product.

    • Everyone says 'Smart Tube' but I'm not convinced. Have you even tested it.

      I assume it's this one, a Thai app, 10k+ (suff all downloads):

      Smart Tube HDK7 DRAMA Contains ads In-app purchases 10K+ Downloads

  • I get a error saying the below when I click on payment :

    "We have noticed that you are accessing our site via Proxy or VPN.
    You must turn off the proxy or VPN connection before you can complete the payment."

    I dont have a vpn running tried closing my browser and a diff browser.. Any other suggestions about how to fix it?

  • You have to pay monthly for a family plan so how much value of the GC your purchased?

    • I did 3k try in one go and leave it in my account so that I don't need to worry about it for another 17 months.

      • how if one month later Google found it and you no longer allowed to use?

        • Roblox robucks? Jk

        • Yeah with the amount of people jumping on, they'll find a way to screw us again. I've topped up 2000 try, hopefully it lasts.

  • Hi, awesome work around, can you get yt prem w/o an apple device?

    • I did it following this method… Used another one of my google accounts. Basically used cyberghost VPN (I have a subscription) set to Argentina. Changed my location in my play store and google account to Argentina. Follow these steps and it might work for you too? I used revolut to get a digital credit card. Used that with google pay and referenced that digital card as payment.
      I got to family plan for AUD $7 or so dollars. It was $4 something US.

  • Anything like this work for Android?

    • It did for me with my above linked Reddit post. I did it earlier today.

  • Only able to change family composition once per year for google family benefits is kind of annoying.

  • My card I registered on the account expires 01/2025. I'm dreading loosing my account. Thanks OP I'll looking into what you've posted

  • How do I get family members onto the family plan without being flagged as Australian?

    • +2

      Google is harsh, you need to change all the family members region to the one with yours and vpn to join, so lots of work for you as family manager 🌝

  • I’m guessing this means you need your sub to have already expired?

  • -1

    I just need one account, anyone want to share (and create a new account) for me? I will then change the password and pay you A$2 /month :)

    • +2

      For a whole $2 per month I'm sure you'll have people breaking down your door to get in on that sort of action. lol

        shutuptaketheirmoney

  • Can confirm this is the method that I currently use for YT India

  • "it looks like you’re not in the same country as the person who invited you"

    How do I get past this error?

    • +1

      from memory - what you need to do is make your google/yt family first then change your country/wallet settings to turkey. Once you subscribe then everyone in the family automatically get the sub. Downside is that you can't invite people who weren't already part of the family as you get the country error…

      • Damn ok i already did the method without creating the family group first

    • +1

      set your account to the same region, turkey or Argentina (depending on what you used). Both family manager and members need to be in the same region.

      • I tried creating a completely new account through an Indian VPN for an Indian based Apple account still unable to accept invite. Tried with Australian and previously Turkish family account - also failed.

        • Solved - double check country of origin via Google Play. If you have only iOS, look at Play via the browser. Then create account using VPN - it’s okay to use Australian phone number to verify account. You’ll still be logged with the same location as your VPN.

    Shout outs to @PriceBeat who posted a huge thread of cheaper iOS apps back in Aug 2022 and @ISmellPennies who created the father of all guides in Oct 2022 (not forgetting to mention his Netflix guide of course).

  • +1

    I got the email from YT too! Was on family YT India.
    Have changed payment method to an Indian card… Fingers crossed.
    Issue is that I also have a Google One 1 TB subscription, that is based in Australia. May throw some red flags of they do data matching…

    • Do you get Indian Bollywood recommendations?

    • +1

      What Indian card did you pick up?

  • Once I made the new apple account, so I sign into it on my phone? How do I have it as the subscription but still stay signed in as me?

  • OK, Im an idiot without iOS or apple device.. Ive got the gift card but can only redeem it on ios right? and even if I can redeem it, I'd need to be on ios youtube app to use it as payment method?
    Ugh.. anyone want to by my gift card off me?

    • Same here. No Apple devices as I thought I could just use the iTunes app and/or fake user-agent in the browser but clearly you need the iOS version of the YouTube app for the last step so I'm stuck…
      [Edit] I reread what you wrote - you can actually redeem the gift card in the iTunes app on Windows, but you can't then use it to pay for youtube without iOS…

      • +1

        Maybe spend some time in an Apple store

  • Like many others, my last payment went through about a week ago, and the subscription via Google got cancelled due to a Turkish credit card requirement. I saw this today and subscribed via Apple with no issues. Then I realised, I had my YT Premium from Google payment active until mid-December so technically I double paid. I contacted Google and to my surprise, they just refunded the whole amount that I paid via Google a week ago. Just give it a go if you are in the same boat.

    • how did you contact them?

  • +1

    Silly question, but I have to log into my iPhone using the new Apple Turkey account for this to work right?

    • That’s what I’m trying to find out

      • I assume that must be the case, I can't see any other way for the Turkey Apple ID to be linked to the YouTube app, but I could well be missing something. Switching Apple accounts on the phone is a bit of a PITA though.

    • I still use my AU apple id as main sign in, but under payment and subscription part log in a different one.

      • +1

        How do you add the Apple Turkey account as a payment/subscription method on your main account? I only get the option to add a credit card or Paypal.

  • They have asked for my Türkiye credit card :-(
    Can't pay by credit card.

    • Apple or turgame?
      Don't use apple, just buy gc from turgame

      • I did use gc from turgame.
        But they require a credit card on file now.

    • Better make friends with someone over there 😂.
      Paying with gift cards isn't a solution since they want a card from that country. All annoying (and I don't have apple anyway to giveit a go).

  • This is what I pay for YouTube premium lite and I can only see ads on songs and I’m ok with that

  • No luck signing up for a new Apple ID. I’ve tried on several devices and different browsers, with and without VPN, clearing cookies etc and varying personal details during the signup process so that my DoB and name don’t match … I guess I’m SOOL

    • The easiest way to do it is on an iPhone from scratch.

  • I just did this for my Family membership but through India. About $7.10 per month. Apple Gift cards bought from Amazon India loaded for the next 6 months.

    Hopefully nothing goes wrong now.

  • I'm currently on the Philippines family plan. Do I need to cancel the existing subscription first before signing up?

    • +1

      Yes cancel it now but sign up a day or two before your current plan expires, because when you renew it starts another month immediate so you lose any days you would’ve had left.
      I lost 4 days - not a big deal as I was desperate to find an alternative to going without YT Premium/Music.

      • Yep, I lost a full momth

  • My whole family accounts are currently addressed in Pakistan and will expire soon.

    Assuming I will need to change every address to Turkey first before using this payment method. Is that right?

    • Nope, technically speaking you don't have to change anything on your existing family plan, only change is the iOS payment method on your yt account log in IOS YouTube app.

  • Do I need IOS to do this?
    Could I do it with windows pc?

  • Silly question, do I need to create a new email address and set that in Turkey prior to setting up an Apple account?

    Or can I use my existing email address (AU) when I register a new Apple account?
    I wasn't sure what email to put in here.

    I take I can use my AU number to verify afterwards?

    • In my experience, it's better to sign up a new Gmail for turkey apple account set up.

      This method dong need to have this turkey account in your family yt plan, you can still use your old method.

  • Thank you!

    The new YouTube CEO is such a greedy douch

  • YouTube premium is by far my best value subscription.

    I get YouTube premium on
    My tv/iPad/mobile/pc
    My dad's tv/PC/mobile
    My brother's iPad/phone/pc
    Partners phone

    All on the family plan, and we all watch a tonne on YouTube, and wall all moved from Spotify to YouTube music (except the quality is a bit shit)

  • I signed up with Peru approx 12$ for family deal so give that a try get everyone to chip in now

  • Do you need a phone number to create the Turkish Apple ID account? Originally mine was asking for one and then asked me to verify the phone number but I made the account through iTunes and manage to bypass that although now when I login it’s asking me to add a phone number to the account I don’t know if I can add my Australian one even though it’s been linked to another Apple ID… I believe it wants this just for two factor authentication

    • You can. I did it for India. Although it didn’t accept my phone number possibly because I now have 4 Apple IDs in my name (long story). So I used a family member’s number to get the code and it worked.

  • Seems a lot easier to just use an adblocker…

  • Don’t know if I have done something wrong or just can’t follow instructions.

    I have managed to create an account on my iPhone but then when I refer back to my settings and my payments delivery and or subscriptions of my original account there is no ability to add in my new account

    • Since you've done all the steps, go to the App store and login with your Turkey email. You'll be able to redeem Turkey gift card.

      Stay logged in on the App store with the Turkey email and open YouTube app.

      Find settings, then 'purchases and membership'. Now you should see prices in TRY. (You can stay logged in with your main email for YouTube account)
