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
Youtube Premium via India

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

      I have same error with 28 degrees on both India and Turkey haha

      I don't have my citibank card with me atm but will try it out tomorrow.

      • Maltopia on 21/10/2022 - 21:46

        Just to add that I am trying to transfer a family account from Argentina so I can save all my history/likes etc., and not have to create a new profile (and new family etc, as that is a pain in the ass - last time I had to have each child on a VPN to join the family as well, and they won't want to create new profiles and lose their history either).

        Didn't work with ING with either India or Turkey. Also didn't work with Commonwealth on Turkey.

        I added a Google pay profile with my Turkish address as well.

        All just frustration and wasted time so far.

        • CodeXD on 21/10/2022 - 21:48

          Reading the deal for youtube premium India, family plan won't work at all.

          Turkey Family should work with ING from what I've read.

          I finally got it to work on Turkey Family Plan with 28 Degrees card!

          You need to create new payment profile in Turkey with the 28D card before trying to pay for the family plan.

          • Maltopia on 21/10/2022 - 23:24

            @CodeXD: With your payment profile, did you use a Turkish address for yourself, and your Australian address for the Credit card?

            I did try adding the profile too but it didn't work.

            I ended up going back to Argentina paying 2.5 times the previous price.

            • CodeXD on 21/10/2022 - 23:26

              @Maltopia:

              At the top where it says:

              Payments Profile for Google Pay

              If you have Turkey profile, choose it, if not, go down to Payment profile and create one.

              • Then go to payment methods and add your card in here, you do NOT need to input any address for Turkey payment. If you already have the card you want in there, click remove. If it asks you to input a card to replace it, just type in the same card number again.

              • Finally, go back to Youtube Premium Family and try to pay. Enter CVC and click Pay. It should process correctly now.

              I did it all in incognito mode but I don't think it matters that much.

              • G-rig on 22/10/2022 - 03:57

                @CodeXD: May try that & already have a turkey payment profile. Currently on single via Argentina with no option to upgrade to family. I've got a turkey payment profile but address in Argentina so may as well delete the address.

                Is it easy enough to add the family members later as long as VPN on when they accept email invite, don't want to install VPN on their devices.

                Probably easier to set up in AU with a new email and add everyone including my primary one I guess then sub to yt premium turkey.

                Otherwise may just change to individual India and not worry about it all.

              • G-rig on 22/10/2022 - 04:28

                @CodeXD: So Addresses can be blank in the Turkish payment profile, but when you add a card to payment method it asks for an address (would have to be the Australian address for that card)?

          • superforever on 21/10/2022 - 23:31

            @CodeXD: I cancel old one and renew from here https://m.youtube.com/paid_memberships with VPN unlimited chrome extension, family plan and no need to enter new address just asked for credit card, all gone through and no change to existing memeber

            • CodeXD on 21/10/2022 - 23:35

              @superforever: So because I tried to VPN to India first, it set that as my payment method, even for Turkey youtube premium family. Which just kept failing.

              These steps won't be applicable to everyone, but it worked for me.

              • I Smell Pennies on 21/10/2022 - 23:37

                @CodeXD: Just remember, no need to remove every single profile to make it work. I have 4 different payment profiles (4 different countries) on my account right now. As long as you have it - then it should work

    • I Smell Pennies on 21/10/2022 - 22:46

      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.

      Today I started a family group, created a Turkish payment profile, then cancelled my current Russian individual premium membership.

      Used Surfshark VPN for Turkey, and then signed up to a family premium account using 28 degrees.

      Worked ok in that order for me.

    Successful via NordVPN. Took a while however I realised that VPN number 49 I believe showed the currency in Lira whereas every other number displayed the currency in GBP.

    • I Smell Pennies on 21/10/2022 - 23:00

      That used to be a problem too with Argentina sub. I'll give some fixes you can try in a sec

      • Invite family members as per usual, and when the other person accepts the invite, try accepting it with VPN on. If that fails, turn VPN off and then try again.

      Let me know how that goes

    • FreebieChaser on 22/10/2022 - 10:32

      To add family this worked for me
      1. Send family member invite
      2. Ask family member to create the payment profile with the same address as the host using VPN
      3. Host must have only one payment profile
      4. Join the Invite using VPN
      5. Family member can then remove the payment profile once added to family

        I can't imagine my folks doing all that so cancelled premium (was on individual Argentina).. send invites to AU family.. they've joined so about to renew the premium sub once i turn on VPN. should be all i hope. My Payment profile could be argentina still

        Members shouldn't need to pay at all that's tht point of it (but assume you're saying if already in a diff country)

        • FreebieChaser on 22/10/2022 - 12:14

          No the members don’t pay but need to have the payment profile added to their account. In my case I had already signed up for premium plan so I had to follow this method to get family members added to the group.

    • Since I tried to do the India method first, my Turkey payment was trying to go through that payment method and kept failing.

    The trick is to connect to Turkey VPN, make sure you create a Turkey payment method before paying. If it is trying to use India payment method it will 100% fail with this error:

      Yes I think it’s worth it even if you only watch 1-2 times a day, particularly for family with several users. YouTube has inserted more and more ads to the videos and I found it almost unbearable whenever I had to watch something without a Premium account these days.

      However if you hardly use YouTube and don’t mind the ads too much then it’s probably not worth it for you.

    VPN worked & Got in TRY. Declined all my cards for year/individual.

    Anyone have same issue?

    Youtube took my payment but premium didn’t activate, anyone have similar issues?

    Has anyone got the Premium feature removed from an account in the family subscription? Like many I used a burner account as the family organiser, and added my main account to the family. However after a while my main account no longer has the premium no matter what I tried. Had to replace it with another burner account to get the premium back currently.

      How is it a burner email if you have to keep it (to be the admin?), Wouldn't you still need it to log on?

      Wondering if should let main single account premium sub lapse, change county to au, convert to family, add members, change to Turk? It's odd my account doesn't see an option to change to family now.. prob not the end of the world starting a new one, just add the sub channels again?

      May as well get fam for an extra dollar if Argentina is going to be $4

    Had India subscription before. Cards declined. Moved to Turkey now. All good. Thanks OP! Used my NAB debit card.

    Today I learned the currency symbol for the Turkish Lira is the same as the Japanese hiragana character "mo".
    Thanks OzBargain.
