Resharing after 6 months for those unaware of the workaround to get YouTube Premium at a fraction of the normal price (with credit to HiDave for the original find). It's also around $0.27 cheaper per month now. Personally been using this for over 2 years and works flawlessly with 28 Degrees MasterCard (no fees). 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.

        Wouldn't work for me. They picked up that my two accounts were in different countries.

      Funny, Google don't seem to care. I have YT in India, Google One in Oz (different accounts, but in the same group Shared accounts).

      It's like if you pay up & are smart enough to circumvent, good luck to you. It doesn't cost them, so it doesn't cost you.

      Really? Mine is 3% per transaction. So like an extra $0.06 here.

      Good thing about nab is the FX rates you get on CC transactions are pretty tight!

    Help! It never works for me. Connected vpn to Argentina , created new account, as soon as I entered aussie cc details and an Argentinian billing address to click buy it says your payment profile has been suspended and can’t complete the purchase 😒

      Go to https://pay.google.com/ delete the suspended Argentinian payment profile (make sure to not accidentally delete the Australian one if on same account) then try subscribing again with different address and/or card. If Same problem happens, keep trying until it works. This is what I did for Argentinian YouTube.

      Just recently I got my Argentinian payment profile suspended again when I tried to add a card to my Australian payment profile. When I tried to resubscribe I realised my Argentina VPN wasn't showing the correct currency so I just decided to subscribe for Turkey instead, which was a lot easier. It didn't require a Turkey address.

    Had this via India, just cancelled it to go via Argentina, aaaaaand they no longer accept Amex as a payment option. That screws me over as Westpac won't let payment through as Argentinian address doesn't match account details.

    • snuke on 13/06/2022 - 09:40

      It gives you the ability to google simple questions and have specific answers supplied in almost an instant.
      The extra bonus is that you can see the links provided in Ozbargain original post that take you to the official page that explains all of the benefits.

    • outlander on 15/06/2022 - 00:29

      Biggest benefit in my eyes, is that standard youtube is limited for audio to 128kbps. Premium you get twice that (256kbps)

      While usually you can find the audio from better sources, sometimes youtube is the only place you can find things. So if you want to download it in best quality, you gotta pay a little bit

    • jigna27 on 13/06/2022 - 13:05

      Been using the India hack for over 3 yrs, just switched to Argentina.

      Why would Google suspend or close the accounts? At worst, they'll implement a detection system where a user's IP must match the country they're a YT Premium member of. But then, they're at risk of impacting YT members who travel to other countries often or people who use VPNs for any reason. This hack I'd say is in the "meh, too hard basket" for Google to even care about.

    • renarune on 13/06/2022 - 16:09

      I've had my Argentinian payment profile suspended a few times when trying to add new cards to my Australian payment profile, also had my Australian payment profile suspended once for trying to add someonee else's card.

      For the Australian payment profile I had to prove my ID to Google to get it working again, with the Argentinian payment profile I just deleted the payment profile and resubscribed to YouTube premium.

      • jigna27 on 13/06/2022 - 16:32

        Interesting to hear that. I've had no issues at all with India, so if your scenario happens to me, I'd switch it back and keep it there.

  • lenjet on 13/06/2022 - 11:42

    Ok for families this is how I did it…

    1. Use Proton Email to create an email address (this was just easier than going through gmail for a burner account)

    2. Without VPN go to https://families.google.com/families and with the burner account details create the family group with the burner account being family manager

    3. Once all the members have accepted the invitation into the family activate the VPN. I used the free tier of Tunnel Bear to get this done

    4. Use the burner account to sign up to family You Tube premium and the above mentioned random ARG address etc is required

    Hope that helps someone

    • kudoz on 13/06/2022 - 16:40

      Doesn't the burner account then use up one of the spaces? Or are you afterwards promoting someone else to manage the account and then removing the burner?

      • lenjet on 13/06/2022 - 16:45
        +1

        you can have the burner account and 5 others (so total of 6)… can always use the burner account as a viewer… for us the burner does nothing, I have my account for what I watch and the wife account is shared by the kids as they are only two years apart and mostly watch similar things

    • Macawin on 15/06/2022 - 12:15

      Thanks @lenjet.

      The process works beautifully.

      This will avoid all the Google security checks and attachment of other Google services like Google pay.

      If some other country in the future becomes cheaper then easy to transfer without all the account validations and prechecks.

    • Klokan on 16/06/2022 - 02:10

      Regarding step 2

      How do you create a family group with the Proton email address?
      When I am logged in with my google account it won't give me a choice to use different account.
      When I try to create a new account it won't let me to use any different email except for @gmail.com?

      • Antos on 16/06/2022 - 21:52

        In the same boat, anyone found out the solution?

        • lenjet on 17/06/2022 - 16:17

          sorry i was being brief with the steps… with the proton email address use it to create a new burner google account…

          step 2a - go to https://accounts.google.com/signup/ and create a new google account (this will be the burner account) with the proton email address being the sign up email

          step 2b - once this account is up and running use that burner account to create the family group and it will be the family manager

          step 2c - issue out invitations to all the google accounts you want to be in that family and they need to accept them. You will have the ability to invite 5 other google accounts to be in the family group with the 6th member being the burner account / family group manager

          to do the above I used another browser / incognito / private modes as it was easier than trying to log out of my existing google account

        • renarune on 13/06/2022 - 17:12

          I don't know why it would say that, as that never happened to me and I've resubscribed to YouTube premium several times, with the last time being just a few days ago (but I subscribed to Turkey, not Argentina, because my VPN didn't work for Argentina and couldn't be bothered trying another VPN).

          Come to think of it, one difference that I did encounter was that before, I could just resubscribe straight through the YouTube app (with VPN on) but this time, an error message came up (I can't remember what it said but might have been about the country issue). So I tried again through chrome browser with incognito tab on my tablet and then it worked.

          I'm guessing your VPN may not working properly and they can see that you're not actually from Argentina?

          I've signed up using VPN (TunnelBear) to both India and Argentina and have never had to change the region of my account. My Google account is still 100% Australian.

          • Spending2Much on 14/06/2022 - 15:39

            So went to Tunnel Bear and used the free version of this.

            I used Chrome incognito, as opposed to the YouTube app.

    I connected to Turkish VPN, went to youtube premium signup page under my main Australian account - signed up for family for the year, paid for it in Turkish on Latitude as new payment method - already have a google one sub running in AUD ($25 for 100gb)
    $14.31 AUD later for the year…perfect.

            @unknown-entity: I think it is easier if you already have your family group set up beforehand but it is possible to add members during the subscription process (but I think this might be where other people are having problems) and afterwards as well at https://families.google.com/families (this is what I did, with VPN off and ran into no problems).

        • unknown-entity on 26/06/2022 - 21:18

          Did you get any side effects on Play Store? It seems any member of the family now has Argentina as the region for Play Store, and some apps cannot be found that are Australia-only.

          • caperite on 26/06/2022 - 22:08

            @unknown-entity: I have definitely not experienced that, @super-user. Family member is still in correct home region, not Argentina.

            • unknown-entity on 26/06/2022 - 22:23
              +1

              @caperite: I managed to figure it out, documenting below for other users:

              This is likely only going to be effecting anyone who went the route of creating a dummy Google account as a Family owner.

              Issue: Family member's account (Android) Play Store region is seemingly non-Australian, cannot find Australia-only apps on Play Store. Play Store content may also show Argentina ads/art/UI/banners. This is despite the app reporting "Australia" as their country in Play Store app settings.

              Confirmation of issue: On family member's account, goto https://play.google.com/store/account/orderhistory - if there is any mention of "ARS" near "Total you've spent in <month>" then it is affected.

              Cause: The family owner's account was not set up as an Australian account for the Play Store.

              Fix: I found the easiest fix was to start clean (abandon original dummy account, kick users from family, cancel premium):
              * Create dummy account (no VPN)
              * Sign into Play Store on an Android phone, go to Settings -> General -> Account and device preferences. You will see something like "Switch to Australia Play Store".
              * Add a payment detail to switch to Australian Play Store
              * Enable VPN for Argentina
              * Go to YouTube website, signup for family premium
              * (Disabled VPN) you can invite family members now, no issues for me doing so after the plan had been started
