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.

Can I pay using the Spotify option and enter the virtual card details or through Google Play/Pay

    - I Smell Pennies on 27/06/2023 - 22:32
      
      Yes. You can do that. Try to limit your repayments, because wach Revolut transfer costs about 30TL and Wise about 25TL
      
      Just remember OlduBil 2750TL monthly limit
Esteban5150 on 28/06/2023 - 00:08

Its worth noting with Revolut u have to verify ID to exchange and send

They only accept Passport and Drivers License ONLY
so those unable to drive and have no passports state issued Photo ID wil not be accepted

Tidal Family (6 Users) CD Quality Hifi Tier only 58 cents a month currently via Argentina VPN trick. No brainer. Much higher sound quality that Spotify and 58 bloody cents a month for up to 6 users. Just joined using TunnelBear VPN and Mastercard.

  I just switched my Tidal account over to become a family plan before discovering that neither Amazon Echo nor Google Nest can play songs via Tidal, which is unfortunately a deal breaker for my family (I'll still keep my Tidal account though).

Not sure if this has been covered before but it took me a little bit of looking to work out how to prepay for 12 months - I believe this might only work on the Individual or Student Spotify plans but once your funds have cleared into OlduBill, follow steps 1 and 2 in the original post -

1. Connect a VPN to a server in Turkey (see Notes section for suggestions). 2. Go to the [Spotify Premium plans] (https://www.spotify.com/tr-en/Premium/#plans) page. 3. Under the "Individual" or "Student" plans click on "MORE PAYMENT OPTIONS" 4. Under the "Prepay" heading select "12 months - One-time payment of 299,99 TL" 5. Proceed to pay with your Turkey-based Virtual Mastercard 6. Fly back home and turn off your VPN. YOU'RE DONE! WOOO! Enjoy your savings :)

Hope this helps people looking to prepay 12 months.

Thanks OP! I cancelled my Spotify premium sub last night and just now managed to restart it but with the more favourable Turkish pricing!

For those who forget to include the OlduBil card number on the payment reference section when transferring money (like me because I am an idiot), Oldubil should be able to help you but you will pay the 3 Lira fee (plus in my case another 17 lira fee) and you must send them the official payment/deposit receipt via email. This receipt will contain the SWIFT transaction keys plus more info as they will not accept a screenshot from the Wise or Revolut app nor the confirmation email you get when the transfer goes thru.
- I Smell Pennies on 29/06/2023 - 12:54

    My previous comment in the old thread: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/771897
    
    I just signed up to Spotify Turkey on Tuesday 23 May 2023, so I can confirm this is still working.
    
    I am an existing spotify user (paid full price premium for about 7 years), then went free earlier this year. Managed to get my account transferred across, with my playlist history intact.
    
    Initially encountered all the above problems/error messages, but here's what I did that worked for me:
    I used Blue stacks, GetFlix VPN.
    
    With VPN set to Turkey:
    - I created a brand new google profile.
    - I noticed that you need an address and postcode before Google 'sets' your profile to Turkey (I'm speculating here, but I'm guessing this is the cause of a lot of errors). So I used a Turkish address from bestrandoms.com. You only need a street name and you need to separately google the postcode.
    - I linked my AUS credit card to google
    - Ran blue stacks - the playstore should default to Turkey. Downloaded Spotify from the Turkish Playstore.
    - Logged into my existing Spotify account using this newly downloaded app, swapped country to 'Turkey'.
    - Opted to upgrade to Family plan and paid with google pay, and it went through instantly.
    
    To add family members, their base country must be set to Turkey (they'll need VPN), and the address must match yours (can be an Aus address)
    
    Hope that helps.
    - fredblogs on 03/07/2023 - 12:42
      
      Thanks. I tried to create a new Google profile using Turkey VPN, but it asked for my mobile number for verification. The country defaulted to Turkey +90. I can change that to Aus but not so keen on connecting my real mobile with this account, because then Google can tie it to my real account.
      - drayke9 on 08/07/2023 - 09:26
        
        @fredblogs: Ok - I think I added mine. It wasn't a problem for me because I was adding my Australian credit card to it, which is the same on my other Google accounts already.

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?

Here is a fixed google pay way to get Spotify premium with Android studio and Turkey payment profile.
It works with PC and Mac
Tested with a Mac.

Why don’t we have an entire week of public holiday in Australia?

Hmmm I just got an email saying "Premium Duo planını iptal ettin" (You canceled the Premium Duo plan). Too many new subscribers in 'Turkey' flag something??

Excellent post. Does it work on Deezer or Amazon Music Unlimited?

Is anybody else still waiting for the Turkish guy whose job is to press OK on money transfers to come back from the holidays?

    Imagine if you’re in turkey and actually need money instantly to pay for stuff, but you can’t get it for an entire week because everybody is on holiday

      Imagine you're in Turkey and going to a local ATM and getting money out so you can pay for stuff instantly - amazing!!

Ok, so I did this a few months ago, but with a Philippines account (just a bit more expensive), and now I realised there's a few gaps in my music library. There are many albums I like that aren't available in the Philippines.

Which is odd, because I thought the availability of the music varied based on where you're currently located, not where your account settings are.

I'll have to contact Spotify, because I can't change my country in the account settings. I hope I don't have to cancel my premium subscription.

I’m blessed to have helped you during these hard times mate. Every penny counts now and I hope you’re doing ok and can get some subscriptions back up and running! 🥺🥺 Take care and if you ever need anything I’m only a PM away :)

Hi, Sorry to ask for help when it seems so many people have been able to complete this already.

I have an existing Family plan set up with my Australian address.
My credit card expires later this month, I have cancelled the current family plan.

1 Log in to Spotify (VPN off), or make a new account (VPN off).
- Done using my existing Spotify family account

2 Connect a VPN to a server in Turkey (see Notes section for suggestions).
- I have a paid VPN with Proton VPN, the Turkish VPN shows my address as in Istanbul

3 Go to the Spotify Premium plans(spotify.com) page. https://www.spotify.com/tr-en/Premium/#plans
This site does load but has it is tr-en it is showing the prices in English, is this correct?

4 Scroll down and select the plan you want. Proceed to pay with your Turkey-based Virtual Mastercard.
When I select a plan, I get the error "Sorry, you are not eligible for that plan. Here are some other ways to get Premium."

I saw some comments on changing your Country to Turkey,
When I go
Profile - Account - Account Overview
My country or region is set as "Australia"
It is greyed out and I can not change it
Underneath it says "Read more about changing your country or region."
Gives me a link to this page
https://support.spotify.com/tr-en/article/country-region-set…

Log in to your account page. Under Your plan, click UPDATE next to your payment method. Enter a new payment method that was issued in your new country or region.

So with VPN on I log into https://www.spotify.com/tr-en/account/overview/
Click "Update" (Can see my Aus card details and the $18.99 family plan details there)
Under PayPal it says "Australia Change Country"
Click "Change Country"
Select Turkey

It shows a AUD$11.99 premium individual account
For a 2nd time click Under PayPal it says "Australia Change Country"
Click "Change Country"
Select Turkey

Now it shows the Premium Individual account in 29,99 TL/month
Click Change Plan
Select Family Plan
Still get the error

Repeat steps above and go with the defaulted ₺29,99 / month plan
Leave the plan as it was and put my Oldubil card details in
(Oldubil money still haven't arrived but I am paid up until the 20/7/23 with Aus card)
It is accepted and says I am subscribed

My Country still shows as Australia when I go to https://www.spotify.com/tr-en/account/profile/

Not sure if this has worked, or something basic I am missing?
- BargzPls on 02/07/2023 - 19:23
  
  I am thinking I might need to wait for my premium plan to end before I can manually set my region and complete these steps

    That is correct. Hmmm, so are you now subscribed to the Individual plan? (which is what you don't want right)
