Disney Plus Yearly Membership: TRY₺649.90 (~A$42) + ₺33.29 (A$2.16) Admin Fees @ Disney Plus via Turkey (No VPN Required)

3411

I thought it would be a great idea to re-share this workaround since it’s still much cheaper than Aus membership ($139.99). And with the Turkish lira being even weaker, the price it's even more attractive.

  • re-signed up for monthly, using my original Gmail & same Disney account - Not a problem..

    I got cancelled like every1 else on the original 12mth sub too.

    Thx for the reminder..

  • +1

    Managed to get this to work by installing the Disney + app onto my google TV through the google play store (new Turkey account made) in google chrome. Add your Aussie credit card to your Turkey google account. Once Disney + was installed on my TV, just signed up through the TV and paid in TRY. $4.10 a month. BOOM! Thanks!

    • Do you need to always be connected to the Turkey google account to watch Disney+?

      • +1

        Nope. Just needed it to download the app so you can sign up.

  • My subscription was cancelled a few weeks ago, signed back up again straight away, been fine since then, assume it will happen again soon..

    • My subscription was cancelled a few weeks ago,

      In that case still happening, not just a few months ago.

  • "Buy TL iTunes gift cards from TurGame(turgame.com) (50TL/TRY x 13 gift cards) > Choose currency as TL/TRY and pay with international transaction fee free card."

    wouldn't you just buy 1 400 gift card and one 250 gift card which = 650 tur

    • they have only just started selling higher value cards

    Hey Scroonge, I just want to point out that long running deals must be posted exactly 6 months after the previous post, to the minute (plus 1 min)

    I had scheduled my complete guide to Disney Plus to be posted on the minute, but you posted a few hours early. If you posted under the correct timeframe then yeah fair enough, but I feel it’s completely unfair that mods are allowing this. It feels like double standards to me. I can’t be mad at you, because you probably didn’t know, but just saying for next time. Personally I feel it is not fair to me having spent time and even money on a long post, making sure it is the best one for the ozb community.

    Anyway, if anyone wants to see my complete guide to Disney Plus, please upvote or reply to this comment and I will post it as a comment.

    My complete guide is way better than this one and contains much more information and steps and well as screenshots, like my Netflix post

    Thanks :))

    • Oh my apologies, I didn't know that we had to post it to the minute and to be honest if I knew you prepared a complete guide like the previous one then I wouldn't post it. Because honestly I really like your detail and complete guide. Honestly I am sorry 😔

      • +1

        All good. I’ll recover… thanks for posting it anyway I guess. Just pissed I had to spent hours and money on it to test the validity of the methods. That’s all.

        • Really, if I knew you prepared a full complete guide like the previous one. Then I would rather you post it. Your detail and updates are top notch. Again I am sorry. Why you didn't message me? I would have requested to unpublish it.

          • +1

            @Scrooge McDeal: Hey Scrooge, it's all good. Thank you for that and for apologising. As I said, you didn't know, and we all learn at some point. Once you read my post below, you'll see why I couldn't message you when you posted and for the next few hours after that :)

          • @Scrooge McDeal: Y'all all need a room 😏😏

          • @Scrooge McDeal: There were 3 duplicate reports on your deal for a reason…

      • The original deal is active but older than 6 months.

        If you want to repost a long running deal, the previous long running deal posting time needs to tick past whatever time stamp is on that deal

        ISP had to coordinate with me to ask me to login into his account and help him post a deal because he went out fishing and had no internet for a long period. I went into penalty box for more than 6 hours because of this and wasn’t pleased

        • +2

          I wasn't aware of the rule that it needs to be posted to the minute. I have requested for the post to be removed as ISP updated and complete guide will benefit Ozbargainers. Honestly you should have messaged me, and I would have done that earlier.
          As for the 3 reports of duplicate, I can't see who reports or the reasoning.

    • +1

      I'd be interested to read you guide, if it's as good as your netflix one then that would be awesome as I can't get this to work on my Google TV

      • +1

        Check back in 30 mins @howdydood :))

        • Hey @howdydood, can you send me a PM please :)

    • +1

      Hahahahahah. Holy shit

  • Didn't resubscribe after the monthly expired again, seem not much to watch at the moment.

  • Giftcard status on the order is processing. Anyone else had issues? or delays? or can provide a rough eta?

    • How long will my gift card take to arrive? Turgame processes gift cards in their local timezone. If you're purchasing in the daytime, expect a long wait. If you're purchasing at 6pm onwards, expect a very fast delivery

  • Hi is anyone would like to go half, if successful doing this please?

  • Tried the IOS method. Could not renew expired existing Disney account because it keep asking you to 'renew payment method' on app store, which rejects Australian cards.

    • You’re doing the iOS method wrong. Need gift cards. See my pinned comment at the top of the comments section

      • I already loaded 100 TRY into the turkish apple ID (trying to renew for one month). The expired sub was a yearly sub, could that be the reason ?

        After trying everything, I set up a new Disney account instead and managed to subscribe for monthly with the TRY gift card balance.

        But I wish I could renew my old account which tracked what I watched.

        • Did you managed to get this working? I’m having same issue, loaded up turkey gift card but been asked to update the payment info when I go to Disney app to restart my sub. My previous sub was yearly only but trying to just get monthly one started again to make sure Disney/Apple hasn’t caught up the loophole.

  • I'm seeing the TRY pricing in app but getting error code 4 (something went wrong) when using the payment details on Google Play. Any advice on what I might have done wrong?

    • All good. Tried again with blue stacks and working fine.

      • Hi Dice. Do you mind sharing how you got around the error code on the payment screen?

    • im getting the same error

  • Renewed yearly all good on the old mobile phone.

    • Just got a message from my Google Chromecast TV, something went wrong. Please try again if you continue to have issue please contact Disney Plus Subscription support.

      No problem with Windows app.

      • Works again after awhile.

  • +2

    Shows in AUD but when you click it, show TRY. So make sure you click all the way through!
    Almost created 2 accounts to get it working lol

    • Thank you!!!! I wasted an hour installing / uninstalling because I saw the AUD…Saw your post, clicked through and am now registered.

      • Same man! Almost gave up as well haha, Should really include that in the instructions.

  • Tried the IOS method and not working for me. When I clicked on the monthly option, I get the following error - "in-app purchases are not allowed". Tried multiple times with the same problem. Logging out, deleting Disney+ app and reinstalling nothing works. Can someone please let me know what am I missing?
    Edit: I am using iPad.
    Edit 2: Works from iPhone.

  • Just when my year finished! Thanks OP, worked as a charm on IOS

  • Error code (something went wrong) every single time! doesn't work for me. Error code on payment

    • Hi J6. Did you ever get past the error code. Having the same issue & wondered how you overcome it?

      • Couldnt get around it. Let me know if you find a solution.

        • No worries, will do.

  • anyone tried to use OlduBil for paying Disney+? I tried to add oldubil to my Turkey Apple ID but it always rejected even I already had the VPN on. Not sure if this vcc would work directly in Disney+

    • I’m came here to ask that too. I have some leftover cash in my OlduBil account too.

      • my friend added the oldubil card to apple id using the phone wihtout vpn. I was doing that via web.
        He was trying to sub Apple TV+ but it's not available in Turkey :D

      • I just managed to activate 1-year subscription using OlduBil.

        Step 1: Went for 1-year subscription from Disney App downloaded with Turkey ID.
        Step 2: Turkey Apple ID asked for a credit card and OlduBil was accepted.
        Step 3: Succesful in activating a 1-year subscription.

        Please note, I used my existing Disney account which I cancelled last week to try out this deal. Also, I did not use any VPN.

        I hope there won't be any issue with the account!

        Thanks a lot OP!

        • How much was it for the year in lira?

  • +2

    I just did this with my iPhone and PC (for initial account setup). Worked perfectly. Actually came to $38 AUD for the year. Here's what I did;

    1. Setup Turkish Apple ID on PC
    2. Purchased 4x 150 TL and 1x 50 TL Turkish iTunes vouchers from TurGame (discounts for the 150TL - was 148TL for them). This equaled $38.
    3. Signed out of my iphone and in with my new Turkish Apple ID.
    4. Redeemed the TL iTunes vouchers
    5. Downloaded Disney+, signed in to my deactivated Aussie Account, subscribed for the year and voila.

    Happy days. Thankyou.

  • Btw the google instructions also works for:
    Wowpresentplus

    Surfshark (15aud a year!!)

    And most apps with in app purchases.

  • Has anyone used TurGame for Google Play Gift Cards?

    Unrelated to Disney, but I'm trying the same trick, with a different app (game) and an IAP, it's rejecting my card and sending me to some Google Security advice page, so I was thinking of trying to use a Gift Card balance.

    • +1

      Yes I have the same issue with a Turkish Google card from Turgame - they said it's probably my vpn not connecting to Turkey as I was using the free winscribe one - I haven't had a chance to try again since

      • Ahh. Cheers, I havent bought a one of the gift cards yet. So you need a VPN to redeem?

        The issue I have is using my CC todo an IAP is failing for some reason in a different app. It worked fine for Disney though.

        • +1

          Yes, you need to "be in the country" to redeem it

          • @howdydood: Cheers, and you havent had dyccess with a VPN? Anyone else?

  • +2

    Hi, i’m trying the Android method, sign up from the app but it keep saying I need to subscribe & the only option is to log out. Everything else was good up until this signing up/logging in step. Anyone have an idea what’s wrong? I’m already locked in a Turks account & cannot change back to Aus until next 12 months :( they dont allow you to update Google country more than 1 in 12 mths

    • +2

      Same

    • same issue

    • Also having the same issue. Does anyone know a work around?

    • +3

      After uninstalling Disney+ again, I downloaded and installed an older Disney+ apk from apkpure and it worked for me. V2.8.0-rc2 is the version I chose.
      I haven't updated it to the latest version so not sure if it will break again.
      Good luck.

      • May I ask how did you download the older Disney+ apk?

        • Go to apkpure dot com on your phone browser and search for it there. You may need to use the apkpure app to install it but can't recall sorry.

          • @joetrim: Thanks for that, managed to download the right version of Disney + but payment couldn't go through :(

      • Thanks, I got it free from apkmirror instead.

    • +2

      I had the same error today. I tried joetrim's advice and went to APKMirror and downloaded the version he suggested - V2.08-rc2 (its an apk from mid 2022) and it worked.
      I was logged into the Türkiye Google account beforehand, so it had the TRY price when it installed and was able to subscribe. Works fine on Sony TV and on mobile with current apk from google store/apple store. I just used to old APK to subscribe. I chose monthly and have a pending of AUD$3.61 today

      • Thanks for the added info.

      • I tried to install the APK by renaming to zip and unzipping. It installed. However when opening the app it's just a blank screen.

      • doesn't seem to work anymore, when I install the version there's a popup that prompts me that i need to update before I can watch (or subscribe)

  • Did anyone get the "Something went wrong" error message & check correct country selected! Keep getting stuck at this stage. Google account is set as Turkey.

    • yeah got the same error as you when trying to subscribe :(

    • I get the same error .. And even to get there I need to be on the vpn.

  • anyone know if this work on an active (but canceled) subscription. As in I signed up to annual but I've canceled already and now only 1 month until expire. Can I do this now or do I need to wait until expiry?

  • Didn't work for me as well. Can I just bypass all this and use VPN and subscribe through Disney+ website (turkey)?

  • when you sell a spot on classifieds do you give someone the email and password for account or is there another way to sign in?

  • trying the android app method, all good till end of step 2.
    After clicking on disney plus, it shows aud pricing. :(

    • Someone above just said you need to click all the way through and it will show Turkey lira

      • I did, still shows aud

        • worked for some reason. Thx matey

  • +1

    First time subscriber, thanks ISP!
    Instructions worked perfectly!

  • Android user here with a Turkiye googleplay acct.
    Followed the notes but the subscribe button doesn't show (it just says 'you're not currently subbed') unless I VPN to Turkey, then worked fine from there.

    • How did you get pass the payment error. Which VPN are you using?

      • Windscribe, was just following steps on the post description

        • I did and then at the payment it says error 82 or something…

  • Hi I am having problem. I cant get to the payment page

  • I think they’ve cotton on, I can’t use my PIN to sign into my profile to watch as it says incorrect PIN. When I connect to Turkey VPN then it allows me to sign into a profile using PIN. As soon as I turn off VPN I can’t sign into the PIN as it’s incorrect again. This is on iOS. On my Sony TV it gives a region error message. I’ve got Disney+ through Apple Turkey from about 4 months ago. Hmmm 🤔

    • I posted this msg well over a day ago and reported this. I’m now negging this to warn others that they have picked up on geo location. Use at your own risk. My sub is supposed to be until May 2024, now I can’t use Disney+ without activating Turkey VPN!

      Also if you look to join other members advertising in classifieds, make sure you confirm what their sub is. If it’s through Turkey, again join at your own risk!!!

  • I get the same, "you are not subscribed" but no option to subscribe issue. i think this loophole is patched. Damn you disney spies on OzB

  • Tried this just now and it worked! iOS method I’m iPhone. 38AUD for the year. Happy days! Thank you so much OP for sharing this!

  • +2

    I am hoping someone can figure out why the turkey method for android errors.

    1. Without VPN - when you log in it says "Welcome, it seems like you're not subscribed." And usually there is a blue call to action button to subscribe but its not appearing. Only "log out" seems to be there.

    2. When you use windscribe vpn to go to turkey, everything seems fine until you go to pay and it says "error 83" or some error about not being in the same country.

    Can someone please enlighten us?

  • Completed today
    All working using android method on Bluestacks emulator
    thank you

  • Suddenly got a notification saying to verify my Disney+ account in the app (on Samsung TV).
    Same message when logged in via website.
    Bit scared to verify with the above recent comments about their subscriptions being cancelled.. lol

  • @Scrooge McDeal This deal worked great for me, thank you. I've noticed that Turgame have 300 to 1000 lira apple gift cards. Can you use those instead of buying 13 x 50 gift cards? Has anyone tried this?

    • I bought the 400 and 250 and they both worked.
      I think the instructions were based on the larger values not being available at the time.

  • @Scrooge McDeal
    OP Can you please verify if this deal still works? I'm on Android, and got up to the step where I could actually see the Disney Plus price in Turkish on my app. The next two options I had were to sign up or log in.

    After logging into my expired Disney Plus account with no success, I attempted to register another account with Disney Plus. Both times, it did not allow me to choose a plan. Instead, it said "Welcome, it seems like you're not subscribed", and underneath it "Please subscribe to Disney+ to start streaming", without giving me any options to actually choose a plan to subscribe too. The only option I had was on the top right hand corner of the page, which was to "Log Out" but it did not give me an option to select a plan at all?

    In essence, I could not access the following steps at all.
    Part 3 - Subscribing to Disney Plus
    Select the plan you want (monthly or yearly - see screenshot(files.ozbargain.com.au)) and complete the Google confirmation prompt (see screenshot(files.ozbargain.com.au)) to subscribe. Then you’re done!(files.ozbargain.com.au) Enjoy your subscription while Google deducts from your debit/credit card as payment each month or each year.

    Thanks heaps

  • Thanks OP.
    Finally got around to trying this out. Was waiting for our current Aus subscription to run out. Used the iOS method and OlduBil via Wise for payment. Seems to be working on all our devices including our smart TV. Came in about $38 AUD. Thanks again.
