A hero has emerged! So much praise to I Smell Pennies for their incredible work on helping our holidaying and migration to the beautiful country of Turkey. I thought this would be worth posting on its own, since it's great value.
For this deal, you will need to follow their instructions for the other deals to obtain a Turkish Mastercard. This can be used for their numerous other deals as well, so it's worth going through the steps (as a bonus, you'll be able to use it when you holiday/migrate also).
For those who have been holding out on Plex Pass, it's great to pick up a subscription whilst you're in Turkey, with the price dropping nominally below $50 AUD given current exchange rates. There are a few extra $$'s required for exchange fees, nonetheless this is a great time if you've been wanting hardware transcoding and app access.
Step by step:
- You will need an Oldubil digital card with sufficient funds to make the purchase (TL₺822,99)
- Once you have landed in Turkey and have access to the internet via your Turkish ISP (alternatively, you would be using a VPN. NordVPN works well in Turkey), go to the Plex Pass Upgrade landing page. If you are connected appropriately, you should see a prompt to upgrade at a monthly price in TL₺. If you see another currency, you may need to try another ISP/VPN.
- Click the prompt and create or login to your Plex account.
- Select lifetime pass for TL₺822,99
- Enter your Oldubil card details; as helpfully pointed out by kaneoriley the postcode 06700 is appropriate with default Oldubil bank settings
- You should be able to purchase the pass successfully.
Some users have had issues with their card transaction not working, so perhaps it is worth making sure you have something else you can spend your Lira on in case you can't get the transaction to go through. I had no trouble using NordVPN.
@bohn: yes handy for offline viewing no doubt, can also plug in a hard drive to most tellys
