Apple India ID required. Buy gift cards from Amazon India

  1. Set up an Indian Apple ID using your AU mobile number to verify.

  2. Login into an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, using an Indian Apple ID by going to settings > Your name > Media and purchases.

  3. Buy Apple gift cards from Amazon India using your AU amazon account. Enter an Indian address (make sure indian address is selected) and use an international fee free card. Then load gift cards to your Apple ID.

  4. Open up Youtube app - head to account (right bottom corner) > settings (right top corner gear icon) > purchases and memberships

  5. Choose a plan of your liking

    • Thanks for sharing!
      So does this method mean we have to repurchase the India gift card on Amazon every few months?
      Also run the risk that if YT bans the Apple account, or bans this method, we lose the money on purchasing the gift card?

        Correct. My plan was to load up my Apple India account (via Amazon India) each quarter - too much hassle to do it monthly. And if for some reason this method stops working, the most I've lost is 3 months worth of Apple India gift cards - which is not very much

  • thanks op, worked for me

  • My Family Premium got cancelled this morning. It was from Turkiye and YouTube said it is inaccurate. I have been using it over 3-4 year without any issue. :(

    I was making payments with my Turkish CC and my brother uses it in Turkiye as part of family members but still they knocked it down.

      Must be a new round of crackdowns my Kazakhstan subscription has been cancelled today

      • I wonder would system allow me to enabled it from Turkiye again… Because they gave me a month to renew it so I can do this way.

        Enable
        It gets cancelled but 1 month to renew
        Enable again
        Repeat monthly

      • Same here! I discovered some good music from Kazakhstan though

    • Sons of bitches

  • Thanks @Pricebeat, just did it and it works for me. One quesion here, after I subscribed it, can I logout my India Apple ID and log back in my Aus Apple ID? No need to login to my India Apple ID even when it comes to renew in a month time which it should automatically deducts it from my Wise account (I use Wise card) I think?

    • You will face the same problem as you need to utilise subscription via Apple Store/iTunes credit

      That way YouTube cannot tell the country of origin for your credit card

      • Sorry I mean it deducts from my Apple Store credit via my Wise card

  • Any solution or workaround for the following:
    Your YouTube Premium membership was canceled because we believe the signup country of India was inaccurate.

    If you want to maintain access, please sign up for YouTube Premium again within the next few weeks, otherwise your YouTube Premium benefits will end on May 25, 2025 and your plan will not renew automatically.

    If you believe this was an error or if you’d like to share feedback with our team, please fill out this form.

    To check the status of your membership and billing information, go to your Settings > Purchases and Memberships page.

    • I got the same email, even though I am using a local indian bank card for payment in the google family setting.

      Keen to see if anyone has worked around this…
