![[iOS] Tinder Platinum TRY599/6mo, optionally TRY799/yr ongoing (~$24.06/6mo / ~$32.00/yr) @ Apple Türkiye via TurGame Gift Card](https://files.ozbargain.com.au/n/64/904364.jpg?h=31b86efd)
Cheeky deal of the day…
- Create a Tinder account on a computer via browser while on a Turkish VPN (use a legitimate email and Australian phone number, they will confirm both eventually)
- Create a Turkish Apple ID (no VPN required)
Follow the onscreen steps. In the mobile number section use your Australian mobile number (Very important to use a valid number or risk losing your ID). Choose country as Turkey. Then follow through the rest to create your ID. Login into Apple ID on a browser. Go to this(appleid.apple.com) link to enter a Turkish address to your Turkish Apple ID, select payment method as none and save.
- Go to Settings on your iPhone/iPad > Your Name > Media and Purchases > Log out from your current ID and login with your Turkish Apple ID
- Buy TL iTunes gift cards from TurGame(turgame.com) > Choose currency as TL/TRY and pay with international transaction fee free card.
- Redeem iTunes gift cards(apple.co) by going to App Store > Account (located at right top corner) > Redeem gift cards or code
- Login to Tinder on phone (no VPN required)
- Purchase Platinum 6mo subscription for TRY599
- OPTIONAL in IOS app subscriptions, update it to renew @ TRY799/1year.
No VPN is required to subscribe or ongoing - only to sign up (and must be done on a computer or it will use your mobile location rather than IP location for region).
If you get an error, contact Apple support on the Turkish account and explain the error, requesting they remove the restriction. They'll remove it and you can purchase 24 hours later. It's apparently an automated system to stop fraudulent stealing of gift cards or something, they simply remove the restriction with no questions.
| App / Subscription | Cost | AUD | RRP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google One 2TB (No AI) | TRY204.99/mo | $8.25/mo | $19.99/mo |
| Tinder Gold | TRY149/mo | ~$6/mo | $21.99/mo |
| Tinder Gold | TRY449/6mo | ~$18/6mo ($3/mo) | $77.00/6mo |
| Tinder Gold | TRY599/1yr | ~$24/1yr ($2/mo) | $120/1yr |
| Tinder Platinum | TRY199/mo | ~$8/mo | $43.99/mo+ |
| Tinder Platinum | TRY599/6mo | ~$24/6mo ($4/mo) | $179.99/6mo+ |
| Tinder Platinum | TRY799/12mo | ~$32/1yr ($2.66/mo) | N/A? |
Weekly plans also available but they're just half the price of a monthly plan; not really worth listing.
In theory if you plan to use it long term you could instead purchase 1mo Tinder plus for for 98.99 TRY (or 1 week but from memory a month was the lowest option), then switch it to yearly platinum and renew at 799 TRY (897 TRY for a year of platinum + 1 week plus, instead of 1,200 TRY sticking with 6 month renewal)
Found that Tinder Platinum is very close in price to Plus, but has much more benefits. Thought it's worth posting. It's typically 49.99/mo in AUD minimum (price varies, it uses an algorithm).
Note: I've not tested if you can simply login to an existing account via a Turkish VPN on PC, tested using a new account. It may work on existing accounts too that have no active subscription.

Anyone know if I can use my old iphone for this and then just login to the tinder account on my android after all setup and it'll work fine?
