Tidal Music Streaming - Free 6 Months Hifi Plan for New US User (VPN Required)

3801

Came across this post from Reddit and I thought it is fantastic to share here. This is for Tidal Hifi plan which normally cost $23.99/month in Australia.

Full credit to Benzz1725

" Voucher code https://offer.tidal.com/voucher?code=WL25BAEN6X Must be from the usa to use this code, just use a vpn if you not from here.

Use your card you wont get charged until the trail ends, or you can use this bin 40606840xxxxxxxx and generate the cards via the website namso gen, zip code 10080"

I used free Hola VPN and a fake credit card generated as per instruction above. Work perfectly.

Cheers.

    Wow! Will try this. Have been using Tidal for years and sabe a couple hundreds is always welcome.

      I wish I could afford tidal. I like that they list all the studio albums separately when you search an artist.

    • +1

      FYI - Anyone with a current account , save your tracks to a playlist and share the link to whatever platform. Open the link up in your new account and save the playlist.

    Just add some credit card and cancel immediately after subscription. Works perfectly. Thanks OP !!

    • +4

      Just cancelled but they don't make it easy. I could only find a cancel option on the website then had to deal with a bunch of unskippable questions, and they want to make it seem like you lose access instantly, but I cancelled and it subscription still works.

  • Struggle with credit card number part. I can’t seem to us a Australian credit card. Any one has any idea?

    • I used my commbank card and it worked fine

    • Trying using us zip code. Ie 10080

    • +17

      Why not use nameso gen with BIN 40606840 and ZIP code 10080 as suggested by the OP? It worked for me. No need to use a real credit card.

      • +1

        @kurisu cheers for this

        • Did you use a valid email address? Thanks

          • @hibbo: yeah… i got lots of emails..for this purpose

      • Okay, but what do I put for the name, it wont work?

        • I used my actual name and it work

    • didn't work for me tried 3 emails 3 different cards.. OK - had to use a generated credit card

    • Pay via PayPal, and use your credit card as your payment method.

  • Thank you OP. Can listen to high fidelity music once again!

  • works beautifully. cheers

      Not sure how using a publicly available algorithm to create random numbers that aren't used to withdraw funds (whatsoever) is considered fraud? Breaking fraudulent corporate geoblocked marketing practices perhaps, but user fraud, hmmm?

      • -1

        Not sure how providing financial information that is false is not considered fraudulent activity?

        What happens when your trial period ends and the business attempts to charge you? You’ve entered a sales contract at that point and provided financial details knowingly that won’t charge you.

        Worst still is if your randomly generated number ends up belonging to a legitimate card holder. Then you certainly would be committing fraud if their account is charged.

        • +2

          Oh yes, won't somebody think of all those accounts where the user coincidentally got a real number/date/code generated AND managed to successfully guess the owners real full name.

          • -2

            @Dungeon Master: Attempting to use another person’s credit card number for a transaction regardless of having the name or other credit card details is illegal.

            If I found out your credit card number and started using it for free trials, would you not have an issue with that?

            • +3

              @gamemaster: The card does not belong to anyone nor does it has any money in the account. This website is well known to developers as it allows them to test payment gateways. Tidal knows about this, and they can easily block the bin if they want.

              • +3

                @No Username: No, Tidal cannot block that BIN. You provided the BIN for Chase Visa Debit cards - any Chase Bank customer may potentially have a card that begins with those numbers. Your likelihood of correctly guessing a valid combination of PAN, CVV2 and cardholder ZIP is close to zero though.

          • @Dungeon Master: Ok cool please share your card number for Ozbargain to use. We won't use your real name. Thanks.

            • +2

              @10101010101: You don't need to use a matching name with credit cards. Transactions go through no matter what you type.

              • @toobzy: True most of the time, but US credit cards have some extra functionality we don't. For example, AVS (Address Verification System) - the claim by retailers is that the address you enter has to match the address on file with the card company, but this is not entirely true - only the ZIP must match. I can't find an error code that could be thrown with a name mismatch, but a lot of stuff can be encompassed by "Card Authentication Failure".

            • @10101010101: Just keep randomly generating combinations, and I'll let you know when you've got mine
              And just so you know, after getting a valid number using the Luhn algorithm, you have about a 1 in 60,000 chance of getting the rest of the details right and being able to successfully charge the card, even without a full name. And that's assuming every generated number corresponds to a real card.

              months in a year . 5 year expiry range . single numeral security code . single numeral of security code . single numeral of security code = 12x5x10x10x10 = 60,0000 possible combinations

        • You do make a good point in that we should still cancel the subscription rather than make them go thropugh the hassle of trying to takje a payment.

          I once made the mistake of using an old unused bank account for a dummy subscription just to get one-off access to something that I never intended purchasing. Years later a debt collection agency tracked me down and tried to make me pay for years of service that I'd never used.

    • Relax mate and hand in your ozbargain badge

  • Used my Citibank debit card with no problems. Thanks OP!

    Thanks OP. Brilliant. For anyone else who is interested, I went serching for a replacement for Google Play Music on android TV as Youtube music doesn't cut it and there is a modded version of the deezer app.

    • What do you mean modded version of deezer?

      • It thinks it is paid for when is not.

        • +1

          Nice thanks for the info.

          How garbage is YT music..
          The playlist i transferred from GPM has songs with fking dialogue and shit from the music video.

          • +1

            @oneacc: I actually like YTM but their sheer lack of implementing simple things is astounding. Like I use a secondary sub account to keep regular youtube and music separate. I can't do this on android tv. How hard is it to port the app to a platform they own? I just want to listen to music going to sleep for one hour and not have my normal youtube full of music recommendations. My google mini speaker (not nest) sounds garbage.

          • +2

            @oneacc: Go into the settings for YT Music and tick the box "Don't play music videos - switch music videos to audio-only or album versions of songs"

          • +1

            @oneacc: Not wrong, there isn't even a cast button when playing from PC utility or web page. GPM was great.

            Still not sure how taxing Tidal is on the battery having lossless streaming from phone.

          • @oneacc: I should have mentioned modded apk for android (not ios).

  • Works perfect thank you

  • worked fine with my commbank credit card thanks op

  • Worked perfectly using the namso gen , thanks op :)

  • Is VPN required only for sign-up, or also for listening? Thanks.

      Yes I signed up via VPN then switched it off. Listening via the app right now.

    Used my 28 Degrees card using Windscribe. Cancelled immediately. Have subs till 4/21. Thank you OP.

      I wouldn’t cancel haha just set a schedule in your calendar just in case

      • +2

        Why?

    • +5

      If you cancel the subscription straight away you still get 6 months subscription and not have remember to cancel in 6 months?

      • Just in case of any issues

        • issues like forgetting to cancel?

          • @SlickMick: Yes that's the only issue.
            I ended up cancelling but you have to be a member to send family invites.. doh!

  • Thanks OP! Last time I forgot to cancel and got charged the full amount. So getting 6months free doesn't feel so bad now

    • unsure about AirPods. but I can attest to hearing a massive difference on my studio monitors + woofer

    • +2

      Probably not. AirPods are already pretty poor in terms of sound quality.

  • Worked!!! Just follow instructions in post and use the fake credit and zip code

  • worked perfect.

  • Using TOR to connect to US servers, the voucher still says "The code not valid in your country"
    Any advise?

    • Disconnect, reconnect VPN, restart the browser session.

  • Thanks, worked without issue!
    Quite happy as my Spotify premium ran out a few days ago and I decided not to renew:)

  • maybe just bad luck or i'm not doing it right, stuck with credit card session, tried both legit card and generator both not working, I did made sure I use 10080 zip code.

    anyone can shed some light for me? thanks

    • Got same problem

      I am using surfshark for VPN

      Non fake CC working not even my own as no ZIP

      • +1

        Worked for me on SurfShark. Used Houston Server. Try in incognito mode.

        • thanks mate, confirmed incognito mode will work

          • @yyebo: what name do we use? just having zero luck getting it to work, VPN, incog, nameso, nothing works.

            • @dbmitch: below is how I got it right eventually:

              1. VPN set to USA Chicago (NordVPN);
              2. Use the offer link provided in Incognito mode (chrome);
              3. Create a new account with a new email address;
              4. Use NAMSO Gen to get the payment details (I used random name here)
              5. Done

              I tried quite a few times so I guess just kept trying?

              • @yyebo: Absolutely screwed, no luck 30 times and counting

                • @dbmitch: Try on a different browser or phone. Might also be your VPN so use Tor or a Proxy.

                  • @No Username: its the credit cards they wont accept, not location. The generators ain't legit, tidal just knows its not real.

                    • @dbmitch: I've used the generator and worked perfectly for me.

                      • @Drakesy: 4th person in progress with helping me by doing it himself at his end, all attempts failed.

                        I'm absolutely cursed bois.

                        • @dbmitch: Is it a new account?

                          • @Drakesy: Yep, they're all using new accounts, VPNs, private browsers, they just did it for others but for me on THIER OWN pcs, it doesn't work.

                            shit's getting supernatural.

                            • @dbmitch: Geeze thats rough

                            • @dbmitch: Not working for me either, created new burner emails and still nothing via Surfshark VPN.

                              Going to try again tonight at mates place on different PC and VPN, fingers crossed.
