Welcome to the ultimate guide of Spotify subscriptions!

ATTENTION 07/07/23 onwards: Please avoid transferring into OlduBil while I investigate a minor issue. OlduBil has removed Aktifbank from their list of banks, and this may cause transfer problems such as lost money. I will update an alternate bank ASAP after I finish some transfer tests. Testing is now complete, and all test transfers are successful via VakıfBank. DO NOT use Aktifbank until further notice. Please see updated instructions on the Xbox post to transfer into OlduBil. OlduBil remains the best free Virtual Turkey Mastercard provider.

Like literally every guide I've made, I spent a chunk of money out of generosity to test the current validity of this method (I tested transfers from Wise into OlduBil) as well as screenshots throughout the sign-up process (see screenshots in the instructions section). The good news? Spotify Premium is at an ALL TIME LOW! Perfect for those who couldn't sign up with the Google Pay method!

Please show some love and any comments, concerns, suggestions or feedback are welcome :)

Modern problems require modern solutions. Like Xbox Game Passes, Youtube, Netflix, Discord, Google One, Microsoft 365, relocating (virtually of course) to Turkey is usually the best option, with some methods saving hundreds or thousands of dollars each year added up.

The processes below are very easy, just take it slow and you'll get there! Just remember you'll be saving hundreds at the end of the day.

Turkey VPN and Turkey-based Virtual Mastercard Required! If you do not have a Turkey-based Virtual Mastercard, see how to get one here in the instructions section (Part 1 and Part 2). You can use it forever, with many deals to come!

Note that due to a recent and continuing crash in the Turkish Lira currency, the TRY-AUD is hitting an all time low. All prices in this guide are current as of 26 June 2023.

Available Plans:

You can see all the features of all Spotify Premium plans here: https://support.spotify.com/us/article/premium-plans/

Subscription Plan	TR Pricing	AU Conversion	AU Pricing	Savings	% Saving	Notes
Individual (Monthly)	₺29,99 TL	~$1.73 AUD	$11.99 AUD	~$10.26 AUD	86%
Student (Monthly)	₺14,99 TL	~$0.86 AUD	$5.99 AUD	~$5.13 AUD	86%

Family (Monthly)	₺49,99 TL	~$2.89 AUD	$18.99 AUD	~$16.10 AUD	85%	Best value!

Instructions

Please read the following instructions carefully. If you already have a Turkey based Virtual Mastercard, proceed with the following instructions. If you do not have a Turkey-based Virtual Mastercard, STOP HERE and see how to get one here in the instructions section (Part 1 and Part 2): https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/784047.

Turkey based Virtual Mastercard REQUIRED

Notes: The Spotify sign up pages will be in Turkish (which is easily navigatable if you have some common sense). Feel free to translate the page to English otherwise.

Log in to Spotify (VPN off), or make a new account (VPN off).
Connect a VPN to a server in Turkey (see Notes section for suggestions).
Go to the Spotify Premium plans page.
Scroll down and select the plan you want. Proceed to pay with your Turkey-based Virtual Mastercard.
Fly back home and turn off your VPN. YOU'RE DONE! WOOO! Enjoy your savings :)

HELP POINT: Because the popup payment windown cannot be translated to English, here are screenshots of the process in the following order: (1), (2), (3)

ISP Notes (Important)

Most VPN services will connect to Turkey, unlike India. Those include NordVPN, Private Internet Access (PIA), free Windscribe Chrome extension (recommended), free UrbanVPN 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 Spotify 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

FAQ

Q: Will I need to turn VPN on everytime I listen to Spotify?
A: No! You no longer need to have VPN on every time you use Spotify Premium. VPN is only required for sign up. After sign up, use Spotify without a VPN.

Q: I got charged a different rate compared to the prices on this post. What happened?
A: Due to foreign exchange rates constantly fluctuating, prices will differ by several cents each month

Q: I have an existing Spotify account, can I use the same email?
A: Definitely!

Q: Is signing up to Spotify Turkey going to affect my Spotify library/catalogue?
A: After setting up this sub, you may or may not notice the Spotify catalogue/recommendations may be weird with brand new regional music, etc… but your Spotify catalogue will adjust to what you’re listening to and soon it will look like nothing ever happened

Q: GST/VAT and Tax related questions?
A: Don't worry, there really isn't any tax you need to worry about.

ISP, big THANK YOU on the guide you took the time to create (and test with your own money) to make it easier for people like doing this in bed. The step by step is a cinch to follow.

  Out of all seriousness, Spotify is THE best music app. It isn't the highest quality streaming for hardcore audio nerds. The app is fantastic, very user friendly with loads of features, and offers multi device streaming/switching which others do not offer (like switch playing from my PC to my phone in a click and continue the song).

when tried to add more members to my family plan it comes like "It looks like you’re trying to join Duo from a different country. Duo is only available for couples that live together. Try again when you’re at the same address."

        Turns out you can actually sign up right away with the link on this deal post (logged in, then VPN on, then open deal link). Apparently this doesn't break apart your family group, which inevitably happens when your sub expires. See here

    @I Smell Pennies i am sorry not sure whether i made the mistake or it would be alright, i am afraid proceeding and confused so i stopped in between. You mentioned that sign up Spotify with vpn off. Which i did. Then i connected vpn then go to payment plan, it somehow opened the account profile and showed region as Australia. When it suppose to be turkey. So i choose turkey and saved. Then i thought why i did it? Why you mentioned vpn off and create account… What should i so? I need to sign up for family package. Please help… Assorted i leave it Australia or turkey before paying? If main account is Australia then how i will add my family members under turkey? Cant understand why sign up without VPN?

      @zane Hi.
      
      You mentioned that sign up Spotify with vpn off.
      
      That's incorrect. Firstly, the title says "VPN Req" and also multiple times in the post (bolded too) it says "VPN required". If you read the instructions step by step, you will see when VPN is needed, and when it is not needed.
      
      Step 1 says to turn it off.
      Step 2 says to turn it on and leave it on while you sign up.

        And when i go to pay, it shows in turkey lira. Not aud. So all good,… ? If forget about the region then i proceed and pay in lira and one by one add other family members by changing there region to turkey.

  Make sure the account your paying through has it's payment address set as Turkey (https://pay.google.com/gp/w/u/0/home/settings) and has working card attached.
  Then make sure to remove all other Google accounts on your device (so that this account is set as default).
  Then turn on VPN on Android - and go the premium section at bottom of Spotify.
  Change Spotify country to Turkey - then click pay and it should go through.
  
  I got the same message as you when I had other accounts on device and VPN off.

Thanks OP. Waiting on my transfer from revoult and will subscribe. Just 3 questions out of curiosity as i know you've probably tried it.

Can we add with debit/credit cards instead next time to the turkey virtual card?

Do i need to wait for my existing to lapse? It seems it is allowing me to subscribe now and says it will renew on july 4th (my next billing date)

Will my "family" members be kicked out as soon as i change? Or will it wait until 4th july?

Thanks again. We all really appreciate these details guides and even the screenshots for confirmation!

  Hey, no worries.
  
  Can we add with debit/credit cards instead next time to the turkey virtual card?
  
  I don't think so, as the payment will just decline
  
  Do i need to wait for my existing to lapse? It seems it is allowing me to subscribe now and says it will renew on july 4th (my next billing date)
  
  If it lets you subscribe then I guess go for it (make sure it's the Lira price)

  If the family plan ends then yes they get kicked out. Otherwise not if there is a current plan active. Worst case you reinvite them back in

    Oh okay! Thanks for that. I will let you know if i can get the subscription going if it allows. Just waiting on the transfer. How long did it take for the transfer for you?

      Landed on my virtual account close to 2 hours after Wise successfully made the transfer

    I've just completed a transfer to my virtual card today. Will advise how long it takes. I did however leave a space in the reference so i'm getting revolut to correct that, they are responsive.

  Usually it's same day (within minutes or 2 hours) or next day Turkey local time but because hundreds or thousands of OzBargainers suddenly making a transfer due to this post, they're under pressure lol

    Public holiday in Turkey tomorrow until 1th of July. Not sure if this is the issue

  Same! Wise is rubbish.

Will a Wise credit card with TL currency work?
- GoonSack69 on 27/06/2023 - 06:18
  
  It will if you are able to sign up using the Google Pay method. Spotify won't accept the Wise card directly.
