How to enjoy YouTube premium for only $1.15 per month

Watching YouTube without premium features became an absolute nightmare. Constant multiple ads, ad-blocker issues and similar stuff makes watching videos annoying half of the time. Because of that I want to share a cool trick how you can buy YouTube Premium for what I would call reasonable price - $1.15 per month using VPN and Turkish server. Some people say that you should use Argentina but I checked that now it’s $1.52 per month there so Turkey is the new best option.

How to get YouTube Premium for $1.15 per month:

  • Sign up for a reputable VPN service (This reddit thread might help you choose one if you don’t have a VPN yet; discount code for #1 provider - “unblockdeal”).
  • Download the app and install it on your device.
  • Connect your VPN to Turkish server (before going to Youtube check first at ipleak.net or similar page if your IP shows up as Turkish).
  • Open an incognito tab in your browser.
  • Login to Youtube/Create new account.
  • Go to buy YouTube Premium page (you should see the TRY price).
  • If you only need Youtube Premium for yourself, it’s $1.15 per month but if you have friends/family who wants to use Premium as well, I recommend buying Family subscription since it’s only $2.30 per month but can be used by 5 different emails which would end up as $0.46 per YouTube Premium acc!
  • Enter a new credit/debit card and enter the Turkish Billing Address. (You can take a random address from Google Maps) Make sure to correctly enter the zip code of the address.
  • Pay for subscription (also you should get 1 month for free at least on new account, not sure about existing accounts who didn’t use premium before).
  • Done!

If you tried these steps on existing account and faced an error, I suggest trying to sign-up a new Google account and try again. Also do these steps on browser, avoid doing it on app. Also, once you have Premium, you don’t have to use VPN.

Not working for me, I need a card issued in that country. Shame.

Had the same problem with Turkey and card not registered in same country error.

Tried Ukraine which worked perfectly although slightly more expensive at £2.10 a month.

India is an equally good option, follows an identical process. Currently on the Family plan for $0.35 per account.

this probably won’t work in NA over a month because;

it’s basically the same requirements as netflix now;

Location requirements for family plans
Family plan location requirements
To be eligible to share a YouTube family membership, each family members must live at the same residential address as the family manager. Every 30 days, an electronic check-in will confirm this requirement.
Having trouble setting up your family plan? If you’re encountering an error message that:
“Family is not supported”
Or
“Country is not supported”
The country/region listed in your Google Pay account might not match your current location.

How do I get around the error about me needing a payment method from the billing address (OR_RECR_05)?

Don’t use the r/VPN comparison table, it’s fucking shit and outdated.

just use youtube vanced, on smart tv use smartube…

You need a card from the same country otherwise it doesn’t work.

Even if you are behind a VPN, the payment of the YT Premium service must be país with a credit/debit/prepaid card issued by a local bank/fintech, otherwise it won’t work.

This doesn’t work at all now. They detect billing addresses and they need to match the country of the card issuer. Tried a UK card with a Turkish and Indian address and it was a no go

Are there any countries,currently, that will work with a us card?

I go through India, it’s about £1.30 and I don’t need a card registered to that country unlike your method

I tried turkey but can’t process the payment due to a regional card needed :frowning:

The real question is, what card are you using?

Whenever I try this, I get a message to day that my payment profile has been suspended

Has anyone used Wise to pay in Turkey? I need a proof

Another method could have a try:

  1. Newly set up a google account, google play paid in turkey as a region.

  2. After that, you will see, such as book store, the price will be in TRY. It is good that your payment currency has been in try.

  3. Download YouTube at android phone through google play store. Login your newly created google account details

  4. Subscribe and you will see the currency is in TRY.

  5. Success to subscribe and enjoy

  6. No VPN is required in the process

Card issues as not registered in the country. PHILIPPINES works for like $2.2ish a month

This worked until a few months ago. Doesn’t work with turkey now and hasn’t for almost a month. Argentina stopped working when they brought in new restrictions and so did India
