* How to get access?

Follow the onscreen steps. In the mobile number section use your Australian mobile number (Very important to use a valid number or risk losing your ID). Choose country as Turkey. Then follow through the rest to create your ID. Login into Apple ID on a browser. Go to this link to enter a Turkish address to your Turkish Apple ID, select payment method as none and save.

  • Go to Settings on your iPhone/iPad > Your Name > Media and Purchases > Log out from your current ID and login with your Turkish Apple ID

  • Buy TL iTunes gift cards (Make sure you only buy Turkish ones, only comes in 25 TRY and 50 TRY denominations) from TurGame > Choose currency as TL/TRY and pay with international transaction fee free card.

  • Redeem iTunes gift cards by going to App Store > Account (located at right top corner) > Redeem gift cards or code.


Not all prices in the table below will be the same, these prices are obtained from the app store page and not actually tested. You can check the actual price by logging into apps and trying to sign up before buying gift cards for your purchases (If the price in app is higher than what is shown below, restart your app and phone to see if it changes). Follow this hack to get the cheapest price possible. Credit to doweyy for putting it all in a table format.

  1. Do I have to sign out my entire primary Apple ID to login into Turkish ID?

No, Just need to log out of Media and purchases option, listed under Settings > Your Name > Media and Purchases and then sign in into Media and purchases with your Turkish ID.

Comments

  • Either the Turgame site is getting OzBargained or it's very buggy….it took me a few hours to create an account and actually receive the 2FA to validate it. Now it's been several hours since purchase and no GC codes received.

    Edit: now payment has failed - it's a lottery?
    Edit 2: second attempt went through - card charged and order processing (first attempt said processing however card was not charged)

  • I read all these comments and still can’t see an answer, but do you need to stay logged in to Turkey account on media and purchases to keep the subscription? Or once activated can you switch back to AU store and subscriptions continue? Thanks

    • +3

      No. Your turkey ID is only used to start the subscription. Once started, it's linked to the account of whatever app you're using e.g. your Grammarly user account, not the Turkish apple ID or app download itself. so you're free to log back into AU under MEdia and purchases at will

      • Thank you!

  • Did anyone have to go through the verification process with TURGAME? https://support.turgame.com/wp-content/uploads/IDNEW.png

    • no, gaddamn! maybe it's a new thing they've added due to all the ozbargainers?

      • I'm thinking of asking for a refund. It doesn't look right to ask for the handwriting and signature.

        • that's weird. I would be worry if they ask me for those things.

        • That's super sketchy. Did you get a refund?

          • @adrianmldn: Requested the refund and waiting

            • @silu: How long do they usually take to reply? I asked for the refund on the 23rd - no reply to the ticket since

              • @silu: still no refund or reply

    • 2020.. 2 years ago

    • I did it and it works now. Idc that much. I redacted most information.

      • Was it just for your first purchase

        • Actually - I made my first purchase without any issues. Then I tried to make a few more and it refused to process without the verification. But they’ve since sent me an email which says that they will not require any further authentications with payments made with the same card. Citi Debit Mastercard for anyone curious.

    • They asked this too but I did not use my signature just used my name and they accepted it.

  • For me Tinder is higher price than in the table?

    • See this reply

      • Phone restart didn’t work for me. Tinder shows as 199.99 lira for Plus when table says 52.99 lira

  • +1

    If you need a cheap VPN. For 66 Turkish Lira per year, you can get Dashlane Premium that includes Hotspot Shield Premium for free. My surfshark service ended, and now I have a perfectly adequate replacement for $6.50 per year with my favourite password manager.

    For GoPro users

    GoPro Quik

    • Yearly Quik membership is discounted to TRY79.99 (A$6.41)

    • Yearly GoPro membership is discounted to TRY139.99 (A$11.22)

  • I ordered some iTunes cards 5+ hours ago still processing… zzz

    • cool just got them :-)

  • I'm just here to complain about hookup websites or something. Nice job on the table formatting though!

  • +1

    Is there any way to pay with PayPal? They list it in their payment methods here but can't see it upon checkout.

    Edit: I ended up using https://eneba.com to buy the gift cards. They were slightly more expensive, but they were delivered instantly, and I was able to pay with PayPal.

  • anyone had any codes fail?

    tried to redeem another few and one froze, tried to redeem again and says already redeemed but credit didn't apply.

  • Evernote comes up with an error - unable to restore - this item was purchased with a different Apple ID. Sign in with that Apple ID and try again.

    So if you have a current account it looks like it can’t be used and you’ll have to create a new one :(

    • Can you export and import?

      • I’ll try Thankyou!

      • I’ve had another look and the subscription was applied to my usual account which is the one saying I can’t access it and not directly to my new turkey Apple ID. So you just need to be logged in on the main account settings too

    • that sucks. I was gonna purchase evernote

  • I found out that exist app under my old APPLE ID will still charge in AUD only new app that I added under the new Apple ID will charge TRY.

    I used my new Apple ID under the media & subscription login.

    • Try to restart phone and app. I have subscribed on apps downloaded with AU ID

  • I used this to get Instapaper premium for a steal. I’d already set up a TR account for iCloud. Thanks, OP :)

  • anyone tried it out for Zwift?

    • Did you have any luck getting this to work?

  • Has anyone tested YNAB with this method? Does it work, before I commit

    • Late reply, but just in case someone comes back here looking - yes it does work with YNAB 1199.99 TRY per year (around $AU95)

  • if I subscribe to grammarly through iphone, can I use it on windows?

    • Yes I would assume so, assuming you are logged into the app with your Grammarly account when purchasing

  • Got it for Freeletics app
    From $80 to around $20

  • TP-LINK HomeShield is ₺367 (31.61 AUD)

  • Thank you so much OP for a great find. I successfully added turkish ID to my apple tv as well as loaded funds, now to figure out what i need to purchase.

  • Any risk of getting main Apple ID banned for this?

  • Currently my fitness plus 1 year is Lira 129.99

  • Is there an Android version of this

    • So you have access to an ios device?

      • Nope

        • Might be worth buying a cheap iPhone 7 or similar to access cheap subscriptions.

  • Successfully bought 125 Turkish lira from Turgame and redeem to get one year Healthi app (usually $30 us but I paid 119 Turkish roughly $10 Australian)

  • Would Wise card work for payment method (instead of turgame giftcard)?

    • +1

      No card does. They mostly are generated with digits that get recognised as AU issued. If you do want to try your luck, keep generating virtual cards and test their bin number on website like this
      https://binlist.net/

  • Can work for getting a cheap AppleTV+ subscription?

    Assuming no, anyone have any hacks to get this cheaper?

  • @Pricebeat - Do you know if this process works for Apple One subscription?

  • +1

    For any crypto users here. I use Bitrefill to purchase apple turkey GC's. I find it much easier than turgame. Paired with binancepay its a breeze.

  • Can anyone confirm Revolut card works for this?

    • Nope

    • I did use revolut card to buy gift card from turgame, but not use revout card directly for the turkey apple ID.

  • Has anyone had any luck subscribing to noom using their turkish account? I've had success with the AFR, but noom only gives the option of credit card for initial sign up.

    • +1

      Hi mate,

      Just wondering if there's an extra step for the AFR?

      I'm getting Turkish prices for Canva, Freeletics etc. but AFR is stubbornly A$12.99

      (I also tried Noom and am getting A$199 for 3 months—wtf lol)

      Cheers

      Edit: figured it out—hit 'Restore Purchase' in the AFR app and it kicks you out and refreshes with Lira pricing.

  • CAUTION: i bought from Turkey GC recently and paid. They then asked for ID and a photo of me holding the ID…. I opened case and they still haven't refunded. Just kept my money…
    BUYER BEWARE

    • Did you buy from TurGame?

      • Yes

        • +1

          I just purchased 6 x TRY50 through TurGame and they were delivered in a couple of mins. YMMV

          • @bonechiller: Same thing happen in my initial purchases.

            • @aerona: I should add this was the 3 third time I had purchased this over the course of 6 months.

              I did have some payment issues initially where it was not going through but it worked. This was in September.

              I have also continued to use the same Bankwest card as the initial purchase. this is in relation to the comment below.

              But looking at other people's comments, I am going to be a bit wary of turgame. Thank you fo sharing your experience. better to be aware than sorry.

              • @bonechiller: I just bought 15x 50 TR and it worked, only took a few minutes.

                For those of you who had an issue, did your payment method offer something like Mastercard 3d secure SMS verification or not?
                Mine did… not sure, maybe this plays into their risk factor?

  • Sooo, yea they wont let me pay either.

  • Is this still working for anyone?
    I was able to get the discount prices back in July/August.
    but now the Lira prices it shows are the same as Aussie equivalent.

    Have they re-priced it? Or its just my location coming through or something?

    thanks

  • +1

    I tried to order iTunes cards from Turgame today using Revolut single use card and my payment failed. I was able to order successfully every month since August. I contacted support and their suggestions didn’t work. (Made a new account, used a different browser). Apparently I can’t use multiple credit cards on Turgame anymore? Ended up buying from g2a.

  • Legend thank you!

  • MyFitnessPal gone up to 850 lira. Still nearly half of Aus pricing though.

    • Check if you can change the plan by going into subscriptions > MyfitnessPal > see plans > see if there is a cheaper annual plan

      • So as in buy a monthly first and then check? Doesn't look like i can do free trial anymore.

        • Yeah try with a monthly plan.

          • +1

            @Pricebeat: Thanks moit and apologies for missing that tip in the post. Paid 215L for a month and then there was an option for annual plan for 165L which then said i'd get a refund for the prior purchase so that means it only cost me less than 13 bucks. No excuse to be chubby in 2023 😄

  • Apollo Ultra (app for Reddit) is 69 TL / $5.20 per year (vs $19.99 / year)
    https://apps.apple.com/au/app/apollo-for-reddit/id979274575

  • Djay Pro AI subscription is bound to the Apple ID that the in-app purchase is made in. Definitely something to consider if you plan to use this across devices where the Turkish Apple ID is not the usual account you use.

    • +3

      @mods can we add a column to the table above denoting whether the purchase can be shared via Family Sharing?

  • Does this still work for anyone?
    Used to work for me in august
    Now I’ve tried multiple times with both Revolut and Bankwest card, ends with “Failed”.

    • That's not good to hear if your experience is across the board. I haven't purchased any cards from TurGame for a couple of months. I will have to check it out as I had some subs in mind

    • Yes, as above, a week ago.

    • Turgame stopped working for me with a Revolut card since December. I was able to buy iTunes cards successfully every month before. I even made a new account and it didn’t work, ended up buying from G2A.

  • if subscribing to iCloud storage, doesn't that mean the storage only works on the Turkey account and not the primary AU apple ID account?

  • Just used Bitrefill that Vodamerc recommended earlier and got a couple cards for Strava premium, got the cards few minutes after payment with ETH. Quick and easy.

  • Has anybody tried the Noom subscription? I can't seem to find the 1 month subscription option. Should it be through the website or the app and with a vpn for Turkey?

  • Anyone had their credit card compromised after using it with Turgame?
    I received a text message from my bank this morning for a transaction I didn't make. The last time I used this credit card online was with Turgame.
    I contacted my bank, they confirmed the fraudulent attempt. They will block my card and issue a new one.

  • Readwise (eReading highlights app) Lite/Full yearly sub is ~$29.43/$52 vs $86.99/$154.99.

  • I just used this method to get the legacy Discord Nitro Classic for ₺134.99 a year ($AU10.21). I signed up in the app for the monthly Nitro Basic then went to my subscriptions in the app store and switched it to the Classic plan. The message said it'd refund me for the month I just purchased and charge me for the full year of classic. So, always worth checking what legacy plans remain under the subscriptions section.

    @Pricebeat I have a suggestion for a popular service/app that isn't listed yet offers a great deal of saving:

    Digitally Imported:
    Turkish App Store Annual: ₺169.99 (1 month free trial) conversion = $13.05 AUD
    Australian Annual: $84/YR as per website, app is likely the same.

    Overall saving is 84%.

    For those that like a wide variety of electronic music, it's a significant saving.

  • Xero accounting seems like similar price to aud

  • I recently subscribed TomTom go with Turkey account for the family share, from another phone I can see it from the apple account but just can't use it.
    TomTom CS not helping at all, considering request refund for this .

    • Can’t share purchases overseas.
