Resharing again after 6 months for those unaware of this workaround to score YouTube Premium at a fraction of the normal price (with full credit to HiDave for the original find). Personally been on this plan for over 18 months and works flawlessly with 28 Degrees MasterCard (no fees). Please stay safe, and enjoy :)

Very straightforward process:

  1. Use a VPN to connect to an Argentinian server (required only for registration).
  2. Open an incognito browser window.
  3. Sign up via the main link in this post (or here).
  4. If an Argentinian address is requested, use this link and Google the postcode.
  5. Pay with a card that has no foreign exchange fees.
  6. Enjoy the full benefits of YouTube Premium.

        Well no , I didn't even know you could do that , but it is FREE.
        P.S.
        Why would you want to play a video while the screen is off.

    somehow it keeps reverting to Canadian youtube with 11 CAD / month. Creating new account needs phone verification which needs Argentinian phone. did anyone actually worked it out? (I'm using NordVPN btw)

    I have an Argentinian individual subscription but no matter what I did I couldn't upgrade it to family subscription. That option simply doesn't exist under my premium membership page. Has anybody any experience in this? I'm following Google's own instructions:

    • ozricoy on 12/12/2021 - 17:30

      It should work on your current Google account. I just did that - Deactivated my current AU youtube premium (Next billing cycle 30/12) and used this method but with India instead of Argentina (VPN can’t seem to access Argentina) and worked like a charm.

    • t00p00r on 12/12/2021 - 17:31

      I signed up for Tunnel Bear free version because Expressvpn would load Brazil YouTube when I connect to Argentina.
      Connect to VPN, Open any browser in private mode and open YouTube.
      Sign in with your main account and select a plan.
      Enter Argentinian address.
      I used my Wise card from earlier OzBargain deal and Family plan was exactly $2.48 aud.
      When you disconnect from vpn, your main account and settings are all there.

    • sween64 on 12/12/2021 - 19:00

      When I signed up awhile ago I used my existing Google/YT account.

    • AliKay on 13/12/2021 - 23:47

      Ok, I took the risk with all the rumors of getting locked out of Gmail and tried with my main account.

      Literally took me less than 5 minutes to sign up for the Premium account. Only had to use Tunnel Bear and address extractor.

      Used ING and had $1.64 deduction. Happy days :)

    I created a new Google Account and was able to activate the offer.

    However when I try to add my Google Account I get the following message

    • richyeboi on 16/12/2021 - 00:01

      I had this problem too. I recommend starting from scratch on an account you don't care about losing. Set up a Google Family on this account and ensure you add everyone you need to on this step (if you don't you will run into the error you've been encountering), also make sure everyone accepts. After this, go ahead and subscribe to Youtube Premium and your family with automatically all get it.

      Hopefully you've been able to get it working by now, but just in case, I Just signed up and got stuck at this point too. I eventually got around it:

      1. Create the new account in Argentina
      2. Invite your main account
      3. In your main account, go to https://pay.google.com, then Settings -> Country/Region and create a new Payment Profile in Argentina
      4. Switch back to your Australian Payments Profile, then go back to Settings and close it (Note that you'll lose transaction history/Google Play credit etc as part of this)
      5. You should now only have the Argentina Payment Profile left on your account; clear cookies etc (or open another private window) and sign back into your main account
      6. It should now let you join the family group

      That was the only thing that worked for me. And despite removing the Aus payment profile my YouTube is still set to AU, haven't lost any history etc, and the recommendations are all still the same as they were before.

  • spiritek on 12/12/2021 - 18:46

    Every card I have tried fails… oh well

    • utsc on 12/12/2021 - 19:25
      +3

      1) Turn on AR VPN
      2) First sign into GPay (NOT YouTube Premium)
      3) Create a NEW GPay profile with with random AR Address BUT with the name on your card
      4) Then you MUST validate your Card with GPay and ensure your card is successfully validated and activated in GPAY
      => I would recommend removing your AU pay profile if you have one
      5) Clear ALL cookies related to Google
      6)Sign into your Google Account
      7) Now sign sign up for YouTube Premium
      8) Add family members - Family members should remove their non AR GPay profile or will get an error - Looks like you're in a different country than the family manager.

      NOTE
      Remember you MUST validate your card in GPay or you will not be successful
      I would recommended signing up for a new Google Account if your planning to subscribe for family membership

      • spiritek on 12/12/2021 - 21:21

        Thanks for putting together this list of steps, I had already tried these, maybe it is just my cards

        • utsc on 12/12/2021 - 22:07

          I used the card from Revolut and had problems when I directly signed up. However, once I went to Google pay first, created an AR profile and validated the card using their verification string I was able to sign up without any issues. Also your Google Pay account should not have a non ARS profile

      • superforever on 28/03/2022 - 21:20

        I found that I just need to delete payment profiles (no more profile) and use VPN to accept invitation and it will work.

        If you have no payment profile you will need VPN to accept invitation and no need to put payment method.

Maybe I will do it again using my main Google account.

    Anyone with the "Looks like you're in a different country" issue for a family account:

    I resolved this by:

    • Don't turn on the VPN
    • Create a new Gmail account. Something like '[email protected]' thats easy to remember.
    • Create the family and add your main Gmail account and any others. https://families.google.com/families

    • Accept the family invite on your main Gmail.

    • Jump on the VPN in Argentina. I use PIA

    • Sign into the new Family Gmail account

    • Purchase a Youtube Premium Account using OP's method. It should show in ARS. I used 28 Degrees.

    • Jump off the VPN and sign into your main Gmail.

    • Open Youtube and it should say Youtube Premium in the top left.
    • wrx5 on 13/12/2021 - 16:14

      Login to your Gmail account
      Open the invitation email
      Follow the Join Family instructions

      Done… I have added my son's existing Gmail account this way.

      **Make sure there is no payment method has already been defined under account Settings/Payments and subscriptions for the Gmail account.

      I've solved this without having to create new accounts.

      The issue was with family group initiator having incorrect location (on Google maps), even though its device was connected via VPN.
      Method explained here used on iPhone device, to actually emulate location without having to use VPN, fixed this.
      1. Change your GPS location
      2. Open Google maps app (for iOS) with the family group initiator account selected and make sure it's location appears in Argentina. Also make sure you are not logged in with that account on any other devices.

      Once the group initiator is physically in Argentina, all other members could get connected by following the link in the invitation email while on VPN.

      • Head to https://pay.google.com/
      • Go to settings
      • Delete your payment profile, it will prompt you to cancel your existing YouTube Family subscription (don't worry, we can resubscribe later)

      • Accept invites without VPN
      • Turn on VPN to Argentina

        I purchased content, but I can't add it to Family Library
        If you can't add content that you've bought to Family Library, it might be because:

        The content isn't eligible to be added to Family Library.
        You used your personal credit or debit card instead of the family payment method to purchase the content.

      • jizmo on 24/12/2021 - 18:07

        Just found another way to do this for new email accounts. You only get to change Google Family once a year so this is a second chance method

        Go to https://pay.google.com/ for the new email you want to add to Family.
        Ignore the CC details and scroll to the address and change country to ARS then close don't bother putting an address in
        Go back to family manager from master account add new user email.
        Go to new user email make sure not logged in anywhere else.
        Use VPN and reply invite.
        You should be good to go.

    Anyone else having issues getting ARG price to appear?
    I am connected to Argentinia and its showing up as 11.99 which appears to be AUD
    i am using PureVPN

    Any other countries anyone can suggest?
    Tried India and SA but both showing higher price conversion to about $6 AUD per month.
