Tried Argentina also, but it won't accept my Revolut card, says my payment method cannot be updated.

Signed up via Argentina. It took 1.39 from Rev (which was the correct listed price), then reverted that and charged 2.33.

It wouldn't work on firestick using arg on VPN but works on HBO now dedicated VPN.

For sh!ts and giggles I tried the disposable card and it worked - don't' know why! I know when they go to take the next sub from it it will fail, gives me a month to check it out I suppose. FWIW I got charged €1.39.

Are you saying that, after You use a VPN to sign up, you can watch it using your Getflix settings and not having to use a VPN?

Yup. It's working perfectly so far on my getflix aimed at hbomax US. It didn't initially but after about 30 minutes from paying the sub it worked. I have a vpn as backup but for me vpn is far better

I got charged 1.39, then it got reverted a few mins later and a charge of 2.33 went on the card

Should OP be updated to specify you need the country soecific VPN to subscribe but it's a HBO VPN you need to watch?

Just seen that now, it's reverted but hasn't yet charged 2.33! I have received an email saying "Your payment was not processed correctly and your subscription has been canceled"!

I have a lifetime KeepSolid VPN - don't think that's a HBO VPN?

I am using my android phone with surfshark set to argentina, when go to sign up, it gives me the prices in us dollars. Why is that? I see people have signed up with surfshark with a pc but I do not own a pc. How do I get the argentina price with an android device? I have a nvidia shield too but haven't tried with that yet.

My FS wouldn't work on Arg but it does on phone.

It looks like 161 dollars but it's actually 161 pesos

It has an 'HBO Now' server, which is working for this

No I am seeing $14.99 which is the us price....

Seems like your VPN isn't working properly. Could you test where your IP is pointing to?

This is absolutely fantastic. I signed up to Costa Rica at €2.73 and have it working on my Firesticks with Getflix smart DNS.
I was sharing the US version with 3 friends but at the above price I think I will hold onto the 3 profiles for the house.

For whatever reason my Revolut virtual card won't work.

Just checked that, that server is in the US, if you could create an Argentinian account would you still be able to see the content?

If not, then I'll just give up on creating an account, don't wanna get another VPN, not yet anyway!

I made an Argentinian account, signed into that served and watched away (US server is way faster than trying to watch on the Argentinian one)

Balls :-)

If it helps any one, after having no luck with Argentina, I tried Costa Rica using the same account and it accepted my Revolut.

That's funny because I had the exact opposite experience - Costa Rica wouldn't take my card but Argentina did

I can't get keepsolid Arg to work on the FS with HBO, only the HBO now server. On phone, it does work.
Strange.

Didn't work for me with Nord but did with VPN unlimited.
Once you've signed up it seems to work in any country it's available in. Since it's not available in Ireland you have to use a VPN (or similar) to a country it is available in

Thanks op. Not sure I'll keep it but I'll see how it goes. Is there any news on when/if it'll be available in Ireland so i won't have to bother with VPN?

It should work perfectly with vpn set to the US

It won't be available in Ireland most likely. Sky already buy HBO shows for their Sky Atlantic channel. All of Warner movies are showing on Hbomax for no extra charge the day they are released in the cinema. I watched the latest wonder woman movie on Christmas day. This is the day it was released for cinema in the US.

My Revolut card keeps getting refused I'm trying to sign up on my laptop using a VPN would I be better trying to sign up on the app?

Are any particular settings needed in the getflix dashboard? I have the dns setup and iPlayer for example is fine but HBO tells me it’s not available in my region. I don’t see it listed in the channel group options. I have them all set to USA

Tried casting from laptop to chromecast and it comes up with a 905 error, saying the title is not available.

It plays fine on laptop but not what I want.

The Chromecast initiates its own stream so likely not via your VPN unless it's set on your router.
