Spotify Premium Individual 12 Months US$20.86 (~A$33) via India Subscription Card (VPN Req) @ Vikingsbrothers G2A

1770

Repost of the expired deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/824279 (shout out to Scrooge Mcdeal) with some slight changes for 2025.


Important Note #1: You need an inactive account (account without an active premium subscription) to change your region. If you're region is already set to India then no steps involving VPN are needed - you can just paste the key and redeem 12 months. Alternatively you can make a new account.

Important Note #2: Your Spotify account's region will be set to India, meaning the recommendations are localised to that country.


Instructions

Step 1
Purchase a Spotify 12 month subscription from G2A using the above links. There are multiple sellers with varying reliability. I personally went with 'Vikingsbrothers' who had the most sales and highest rating and received the code within 2 minutes. As of writing, the price is $32.81. There are also other durations available on G2A e.g. 1, 3 & 6 months. The maximum allowable subscription using gift cards is 18months.

Eneba is also another possible seller. I cannot find any Amazon India sellers.

Step 2
Wait until you have received your activation code (typically couple of minutes).

Step 3.
Switch your VPN ON and set the location to India.
When the VPN is activated, go to Spotify(accounts.spotify.com). Go to "account" then "Edit Profile", change the country setting option to "India" it should appear.
If it does not appear, check if the VPN is activated correctly . Save Changes. This will now enable you to redeem your Indian Gift Card.

Step 4.
Copy and paste the gift card codes you have previously purchased. If you try to redeem more than 18 months of premium, you will receive an error stating that you cannot redeem more than 18 months of premium in advance.

Done!

It may be possible to convert to a family plan as documented by a past deal but this has not been tested. You want to keep the same region otherwise the duration of premium will be reduced.

  • Anyone else seeing 33 USD on G2A?

    • I just got it for 34AUD and successfully redeemed it on Spotify

      • for family package?

  • Question: I got signed up using another country for cheaper rate, spotify caught me and cancelled my family account after few months. Anyhow, can i use vpn and use the same account, change the country and by gift card and activate my spotify family account again?

  • I tried this, G2a with a Turkish seller. The account kept reverting to a free account. Has this happened to anyone else?

    Check Egypt. They accept Paypal.
    You just need to create a Paypal EG account. They asked for a EG phone number, but I didn't have to verify it.
    Linked a Revolut card to it just fine.

    You can do a 12 months one time payment on Individual and Duo subs. Family is only on a monthly basis.
    Premium Individual : 699.99 EGP / year
    Duo : 1049.99 EGP / year

    Ideally, you should do EG individual => local Duo / Family plan trick.

      @alusawa can you explain what you mean by
      Ideally, you should do EG individual => local Duo / Family plan trick. ?

      thanks

      • I am curious about this comment as well.

  • Just signed up. Fingers crossed no issues

  • Can confirm this worked perfectly for me after my previous Argentinian sub reverted back to a free account.

  • Just bought and activated, everything working so far.
    Will see how this goes

  • Has anyone on this purchasing the (12 months upfront) ever had their subscription cancelled part way? or just at the end near renewal?

    Like Crunchyroll/Disney+ cancelled part way though subs with no refund at one point, just curious if Spotify has done the same to anyone usign these geo-loophole methods?

    • Highly doubt it

  • Does anyone know after "redeeming" the gift cards in india - if you can switch back to Australia?

    • https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/824279

      "Can you change your Spotify location back to Australia after redeeming the gift cards and turning off the vpn? Or is it best to leave the location in India?"

      "Don't change it. It will reduce the sub.

      I just went to do it, but it changed from next payment in June of 2025 to December of 2024."

      Maybe just leave it..

    still working!

  • Thanks op, not sure why this is expired, still works!

    • worth noting 15 hours of audio books did not work for me

  • +2

    Still working! Upgraded two accounts to premium that lapsed from Egypt.

  • Worked for me, thanks OP. Just wish I could change the country back without losing months!

    • Cost benefit is worth it to get some foreign country targetted music!

  • I was able to convert to family plan with Paypal as the payment method for the past 2 years, damn, Paypal is not longer avaiable today! Can only pay by UPI app or Credit Card (india) which I dont have. any cue?

    • +1

      yes, seems they've fixed it now as Paypal is no longer an option.

      It doesn't even let you change plans anymore.. the page just refreshes.

  • Have tried using VPN to India but url still shows as https://www.spotify.com/au/account/overview/ and redeeming url also has AU in it. Any idea why?

    Edit: It worked now

    • are you only doing individual account or family/duo?

  • Just got this working tonight as my Egypt sub expired.

    Worked like a charm!!!

    I used Windscribe VPN on my Macbook

    • +1

      My Egypt just expired as well - Looks like we're on the same cycle, see you in 12 months!

      • +1

        Username checks out LOL

      • So all these methods can't last longer than 12 months?

        • Spotify allows a max of 18 months in advance, but I just use a 12-month gift card—that’s all that was available on G2A. In a year, I’ll just check which country has the cheapest and easiest to use deal and buy again

    • +1

      Why not renew the Egypt sub on their 12m plan btw?

      I sub recently and Egypt is ~$21.91 (EGP699) for 12m individual plan

  • I cannot convert to family account following successful redemption. It errors out with "Sorry, you are not eligible for that plan. You can’t change countries until your prepaid plan has expired." Anyone else get the family conversion to work? TIA

  • +1

    looks like spotify has stopped people converting accounts to family that were paid with individual gift cards. my family has changed back to individual.

    • It was good while it lasted. Did they change your family plan back to individual AU pricing or Indian Pricing ?

      If it's just change of family to individual, i wonder how long till they start culling all the individual accounts from India to Australia pricing.

  • Can't find anywhere to put the code. Comes up with either pay by UPI app or 'credit/debit card'. No other choices. Either of them wants cc or bank app scanning. I've followed the steps. Um help!

  • Question: could I just buy the 6 or 12 month duo membership via one off payment? E.g via Spotify Egypt.
    Or do I need to use the gift card vouchers to make this possible?

  • +2

    My payment would not succeed on G2A, so I went with https://driffle.com/spotify-12-months-subscription-in-digita… instead.

    Also cheaper at Order Amount INR 1621.73 (AUD29.73)

    Card received instant and worked without issues.
