Payment went out of virtual card(mastercard) yesterday after few failed attempts on reg card so hopefully yours will work also

Turkey seems cheaper than usual at the moment, €1.05 latest payment for me.

Hi

Trying to sign up for this with the ultimate hope that I'll be able to ditch Spotify. But it's looking for a billing address? Surely this must be the same as my Revolut billing address and that's obviously not Turkey? Any way around this?

G1032 · 26-03-2022 8:42pm

Will doing this the 'Netflix method' work, I.e. sign up with an Irish account first?

It's been a while since I did this but fairly sure you just need to login and pay while on a VPN for Turkey or wherever else.

It's not working out like that now for me. Like I'm doing this for Netflix and Amazon and know how to do it but when I go to pay for YouTube it asks for billing address now, even though I have multiple cards already set up on Google Pay. When billing address doesn't match the card address the card doesn't get added. I've signed up now on Irish price for the free month. I'll cancel before the month is up and try work it like I did Netflix.

G1032 · 27-03-2022 9:30am

I'm in🤣🤣

Tried again this morning and this time it didn't even ask for an address

So this is the snag I've hit now. My pay.google.com location on the new account I used to sign up, got set to Turkey. In order to invite family members I'll have to switch that location back to Ireland. I've bought a 1 year sub to Family YT Premium for a little over €10.

The payment to Revoult it still pending so I'll wait for that to go through before I do anymore. After that I'll have to switch location to Ireland and invite family members. But this will mean I can't switch back to Turkey for 365 days, so I won't be able to renew in a year.

Still, we should get the year out of it and I'll worry about next year, neat year!!

Nigzcurran · 27-03-2022 10:35am

Shouldn’t have needed to change location in the first place, I set mine up with all family members located in Ireland,

Couldn't get it to work last night at all.

This morning I set up a new account on the phone. Location I assume set to Ireland.

Turned on VPN on laptop.

Opened Incognito tab.

Logged in under my new account. Went to YouTube. Signed up to Premium. Added new card. Payment went through. It was only after all that, when I went to add family member, I realised the location was set to Turkey.

G1032 · 27-03-2022 11:17am

This is what's happening. I'm not allowed actually enter a billing address. I don't get an option to enter street name, city etc etc

Setanter · 27-03-2022 12:34pm

You create your family first before you go anywhere near premium. When they all accept then you head off to Turkey or wherever.

Revolut will let you set any address you like, for billing.

Ah! I see. I will give this a whirl now.

Nigzcurran · 27-03-2022 1:45pm

I started my sub with 2 family members and added 3 a few months later, all locations set to Ireland and never any issues, I think it’s just pot luck how it works for some and not others

G1032 · 27-03-2022 3:47pm

I've a new family set up now, all set to Ireland. I'm going to try sign up again in a minute but I know in my heart and soul my location on my admin account will change to Turkey during the purchase process

G1032 · 27-03-2022 4:02pm

It worked. I'm in. I've 6 family members on a plan now. Monthly Turkish sub. Checked my wife's phone and although she got no mail welcoming her to YT Premium she has access. I'll add a backup payment method now just in case my Revolut gets declined

G1032 · 27-03-2022 4:36pm

Question folks. Before I go and mess this all up is it possible to add a backup payment card and does it need to be done on VPN? I added to Netflix without VPN

G1032 · 27-03-2022 6:23pm

Ugh.

Notification just in on Revolut. Payment reverted. Transaction cancelled. Won't let me add any other card. Tried Turkish address and then Irish addess. No go. I give up.

Slow down, you got in, activated it and the family worked.

You get (or used to get a free first month) so that explains the cancelled transaction. If you have access I think the payments will sort itself out as long as the revolut is on file.

Oh that's interesting. Excellent. Ya, I have the free month but hadn't realised that that was why I got the cancelled transaction. The revolut is still on file with a virtual card that doesn't expire until 2027

Giggernaut · 05-04-2022 12:44pm

Hey guys,

Ive tried a few times to set up an individual account and no luck.

This is what Ive done, feedback would be great appreciated.

VPN - Turkey
Google incognito
Logged into YouTube account
Account showing Turkey
Tried to purchase and coming up full Irish price

This is what I done and I was successful first time:

1) Create a Turkish payment profile @ pay.google.com - Info on how to do this via the link below ->

"Create more than one profile" -> "Add a new profile for a different country" -> follow instructions...

https://support.google.com/paymentscenter/answer/9028746?hl=en#zippy=%2Ccreate-more-than-one-profile

Turkish address is requested, use this link(bestrandoms.com)select Turkey as the country and Google the postcode

Add a payment method for this profile.

2) Turn on VPN to Turkish server (I used Windscribe)

3) Open a new window in Chrome incognito and sign up here - https://www.youtube.com/premium

4) Ensure it displays subscription options in Turkish Lira, Select subscription choice and it should automatically display the Turkish Payment profile you created earlier and purchase the subscription.

Let me know how you go.

Staleturnips · 12-04-2022 9:32pm

Has anyone started to experience any bugs after acquiring this subscription?

My YT side panel is now completely blank and the YT settings/profile menu is similarly blank.

Its the same across two different laptops and my firestick so definitely an issue with my YT account and not my personal hardware/software.

I have cleared all cookies/cache/date and uninstalled/reinstalled. All other google services are working as normal.

Ohmeha · 12-04-2022 10:51pm

The above is a widespread youtube issue today effecting me aswell

Yes correct. My YT is fully restored this morning!

Snake Plisken · 14-04-2022 12:01pm

I got an email about them updating their payment terms this bit below is interesting coming next month so will see if they clamp down on the work arounds
