Getting Discovery Plus in AU

geekcohen on 03/01/2022 - 07:25

Hi all,

I am wanting to try and get discovery plus. I am keen to watch a few US serious which only have the later series in Australia on Foxtel.

I have a VPN (Nord VPN), but cannot get through the payment barrier? It keeps detecting the AU payment method.

Anyone got any tips?

Cheers.

    It's like all US pay barriers from AU:
    - Use a US Google or iTunes account with US Gift Cards to fund the account and make subscription purchases …
    (works for Hulu, HBO, Discovery+, etc)

      tell me more! can you give me the steps how to do this? I really want Hulu and HBO max again as i just got cut off P.s. if anyone here has both and is willing to create a profile for me on both I am happy to split the costs.

        Got an Apple or Android device?
        If so, setup a US account > download the app (Hulu, etc) > Open app and sign up > Payment method via GPay or iTunes
        Use Amazon.com (or any US retailer or "Gift Card" supplier) to buy US Google or US Apple gift cards.
        Use the Gift Card to fund the account, which was the selected method to also pay for access (to Hulu, HBO, Discovery, etc)
        Can google terms like "Get Hulu in Australia", "Hulu on ATV non US", for more granular details for your device specifics

          is that a physical gift card in the mail or an electronic gift card?

            @Miii: Both work, but pointless waiting on international mail :P

            More pertinent, which device do you use to watch streaming? That will be the limitation ;)

              @7ekn00: I use my laptop to stream. I dont watch on mobile devices really. I also found the HBO app is crap. I did have access until today from an American ex. Such is life…..

                @Miii: No real way to pay via laptop :/

                  @7ekn00: once you pay on mobile you can use your login on laptop though right?

                    @Miii: Sometimes, depending on VPN and disabling WTC within browser :/

    yes I have a tip.I tried and tried in vain to get around this then I discovered they also have discovery plus in britain. It is quite cheap for a year so I asked a British friend to sign up for me with her credit card for a year and sent her the money via paypal. Just in case you have a Brit relative or friend you can go that way.
