Cheap Prime video

    Hi All! So after using the cheap youtube method here in Bargain Alerts, I've been playing around with susbcriptions and found a way to get cheap prime video.

    1. i signed up to a new account on amazon turkey:
    - used chrome with translate function
    - generic turkish address

    As pointed out by bitthuduga, this will also work with an Amazon India account. Seems a bit cheaper and there's a yearly payment option there as well.

    Thank you to Wheety for posting generic address generator

    2. Added a revolut card to account

    3. Signed up to prime:
    - first month free
    -TRY 7.90 - around 90 cents a month after
    (i'm planning to buy TRY with Revolut for the year)

    4. Card authorization went with no blocks

    5. Sign in to devices using new account details

    For fire devices, all sideloaded apps remained the same, the apps you get from amazon you have to download and install again (can't remember if they kept the login but i think they did)

    6. Now working in all my devices
    (i have a few people in a couple of countries in the account, no issues streaming)

    Only diference for me is a new turkish audio/subtitle section.

    Hope it works for other people!
    I'm off to see what else i can sign up for for cheap :)

    Great spot. I wonder that the catalogue is like? I have Ireland PRIME but since Brexit the listing has become very poor

    According to amazon it streams by location so i assume it will be the same, but for less than 1 riro a month i can live with it

    i have been using amazon prime via indian subscription. 1000 indian rupees (approx 11.50 in eur) per year. it includes amazon prime delivery and prime video. (dont use prime delivery though). as the op said i get indian language subs and indian language recommendations. i do get lost with the catalogue - not sure what is available and what not.

    You have to put a turkish address into sign up to Prime anyway.

    Great find OP, signed up there, very straightforward.

    No vpn required at all on this one.
    Unless you want to watch content that is only available in turkey

    Can anyone confirm if you get all the videos available in Ireland when signing up via the OP’s method. I have a U.K. prime account but since brexit the majority of films and tv shows say “not available in your location”

    Thanks

    No need for this VPN method.

    I have had Amazon Prime (and video) for free for many years.

    Simply, sign up under new email addresses. You get at least 30 days free per email address. (Amazon once gave me 6 months free).

    Don't forget to cancel straight away after you sign up - you still get the 30 days.
