If you tried to sign up to a Youtube Premium Family via India, you probably hit a dead end, with most cards ending up declining due to this reason and this reason. Well if that is the case, hopefully Youtube Premium via Turkey will be a breeze (albeit a slightly higher cost monthly), especially for those who have Google One via Turkey already (confirmed working for me, you will not need to enter a new address - took me like 10 seconds).

Google is increasing the prices for Youtube Premium in several countries worldwide, including USA, UK, Canada, Argentina, Turkey, Japan etc. This means Argentina is no longer the cheapest and most OzBargainers will be migrating from Argentina other countries.

For price references, Youtube Premium via Australia is $14.99/mth for individual plans & $22.99/mth for family plans

Annual subscription via YouTube India long running post

Available Plans

Plan Monthly Cost Yearly Cost
Individual TRY ₺29.99 (~A$2.57) TRY ₺299 (~A$25.86)
Family TRY ₺59.99 (~A$5.14) N/A
Student TRY ₺19.49 (~A$1.69) N/A

Instructions (No Current Subscription)

Note: If you're signing up for a family plan, best to add your Australia family members / accounts into a family group before signing up. To add family members: https://families.google.com/families

  1. Connect a VPN to the server in Turkey

  2. Go to https://www.youtube.com/premium and if it shows currency in TRY (Turkish Lira), continue choosing your membership.

  3. Enter your Turkey address (get a fake one here) and proceed to pay by credit card.

  • If payment fails, try creating a Turkish payment profile. You can create a new payment profile by following these steps by alcheron: go to https://pay.google.com/gp/w/u/0/home/settings and clicking the pen icon next to "Country/Region" and a link to create a new profile should pop up. You can then add details for the Turkish profile.

Instructions (Transferring from a different country)

Note: If you're signing up for a family plan, best to add your Australia family members / accounts into a family group before signing up. To add family members: https://families.google.com/families

  1. Go to https://m.youtube.com/paid_memberships and click on your current subscription. Click “manage” then continue to cancel

  2. Once cancelled, the current subscription will continue until the end of the billing period. But you now have an option to resubscribe back to Youtube Premium

  3. Connect a VPN to the server in Turkey

  4. Go to https://www.youtube.com/premium and if it shows currency in TRY (Turkish Lira), continue choosing your membership.

  5. Enter your Turkey address (get a fake one here) and proceed to pay by credit card.

  • If payment fails, try creating a Turkish payment profile. You can create a new payment profile by following these steps by alcheron: go to https://pay.google.com/gp/w/u/0/home/settings and clicking the pen icon next to "Country/Region" and a link to create a new profile should pop up. You can then add details for the Turkish profile.

Notes

  • Most VPN services will connect to Turkey, unlike India. Those include NordVPN, Private Internet Access (PIA), free Windscribe Chrome extension (recommended), ExpressVPN, etc. If one doesn't work, use another VPN

    • If you're using Windscribe and it shows different currencies: keep turning the windscribe on and off. Each time you don't get TRY, turn it off and on, then refresh the Youtube sign up page. You'll eventually land on TRY. Go to https://whatismyipaddress.com/ each time you turn it off/on and see if you land on Istanbul

    How does this work after I signed up Family Plan@Turkey?

  • Chippy47 on 21/10/2022 - 19:18

    I had similar issues with various cards being declined in the past and I used this work around:

    Set up a Turkish payment profile here -https://pay.google.com/ for the Google account you are using prior to trying to sign up for YT Premium.

    One this is setup then proceed to the signup page and it will automatically use your Turkish payment profile info to complete the transaction (you may need to enter card CVC for re-verification).

    • Bangerbargain on 21/10/2022 - 19:45

    Try YouTube India but using a Turkish VPN location and address. For some reason the Turkey location didn’t require credit card verification, so it went through ok. But I got the cheaper India price.

    • I Smell Pennies on 21/10/2022 - 19:56

      I'll try that now! Is that on family or individual??

      For me, it's just ultimate convenience and support for creators. At this point, a few bucks a month to have full access to ad free experience on ANY device I use, combined with the fact creators actually get supported through me using it, I'm down to pay it.

      Also, let's not forget Google has been actively trying to take down Vanced, so it's a bit of a cat and mouse game that you can fully get out of for just a few bucks.

      • edfoo on 22/10/2022 - 13:53

        Wait a sec, if you truly into supporting the content creators, should you be paying the full Australian pricing instead of this cheap Turkish pricing?

        • CodeXD on 22/10/2022 - 13:54
          +1

          YouTube Premium membership fees are split between the creators a member watches based a percentage of their total watch history and behavior that month.

          • edfoo on 22/10/2022 - 13:56

            @CodeXD: Then what is he on about paying this subscription to support the creators?

            • CodeXD on 22/10/2022 - 13:57
              +2

              @edfoo: Anything is better than nothing tho right? Since YT premium AU is so expensive, most people won't get it, so content creators won't get any. This way content creator and viewer wins.

              • Confabulatron on 22/10/2022 - 13:59

                @CodeXD: Exactly. Also, an important thing to note is that even with shitty Turkish pricing, creators are likely to end up being paid more than an ad supported viewer. This has been extensively researched; ad supported users give VERY little to creators compared to Premium views

              • edfoo on 22/10/2022 - 14:00

                @CodeXD: But if he is so adamant about supporting the creators, should pay the full Australian fee. Otherwise people shouldn’t keep using that reason to justify subscribing via Turkey or India YT.

                • CodeXD on 22/10/2022 - 14:01
                  +1

                  @edfoo: There are other ways to support content creators. Something like being a channel member or donating directly to the creator (this way 100% will go to creator and nothing goes to google/youtube)

                  • edfoo on 22/10/2022 - 14:17
                    -1

                    @Confabulatron: So you think Google should provide YT service free of charge to you and other content creators,, and you can still get paid for the number of views, but all the ads should be blocked, denying Google the advertisement revenue to help pay for running this expensive YT service? Now doesn’t that concept sounds thick and dumb?

                      • edfoo on 22/10/2022 - 15:16
                        +1

                        @Confabulatron: Nope, not accepting your point. Saying to pay for a sub to avoid the ad is fine. But claiming to “help” out the creators by paying a cheap sub fee, while “abusing” the system to deny Google their fee, just make you a hypocrite.

        • Confabulatron on 22/10/2022 - 13:56

          I'm not doing it to solely support creators. I'm doing it to block ads primarily across all my devices. If this means creators get SOMETHING instead of nothing by me constantly using adblock, it's a plus for us all.

          OP asked if there was any benefit to buying premium. I'm giving the reasons. Pretty obvious.

      Have a read of the comments in the Youtube Premium India post - basically you mostly need a bank card thats verified by an Indian bank- or its Upbank or 28 degrees card. It's not working on most people's cards.

      Sometimes it's the VPN that gives the issue as well and a different VPN may work. Sometimes turning VPN on or off, or mucking around with the payment site. I've done way too much testing previously and have encountered your issues, and managed to bypass them by mucking around.
