    Ah well, was great while it lasted

    Yeah, last chance saloon here for myself, I signed up for a Clevercard Mastercard and got the same error message as I did with multiple Visas, an American Express, and a prepaid Visa, all through tunnelbear's Argentinian VPN.

    N26 mastercard works



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,545 ✭✭✭dor83


    Give it a try after it actually stops working, I couldn't get any cards to work until it had stopped working, then the revolut virtual mastercard worked and payment went through straight away.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 441 ✭✭baingal nancer


    Sub finally lapsed today altogether revolut virtual Mastercard still won't work . looks like it's game over

    My Revolut virtual Mastercard worked on the 16th



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 441 ✭✭baingal nancer


    I've changed the revolut virtual 3 times there, got it working on the 4tg attempt haha, strange but I'm not complaining back in now



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,204 ✭✭✭✭The Nal


    61c this month



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68 ✭✭ImportMeHappy


    Hadn't realised my payment had failed until today, went on to the website and paid using the same Revolut card I setup with last June, went through first time at a steep 59c!

    Anyone managing to get this to accept Revolut?

    Won't accept Virtual card with VPN on or off

    I think I figured it out - or rather someone on reddit did. The issue isn't the cards or the VPN, it's Apple. People using Macs weren't able to sign up or update their cards at all, and someone figured out it's because your Apple ID geoblocks it.

    So fired up Windows, into Tidal with the VPN set to Argentina, entered in the Clevercard Mastercard I snagged - which was rejected on both previous computers I tried it with - and absolutely plain sailing, all signed up and straight in.

    I'd loaded €35 on it, so should be covered for... four years or so?! Great stuff!

    My sub will simply not renew until it expires fully. I got mine to renew last month using no vpn and a single use visa virtual card (revolut). I’m getting nagging messages again on tidal about payment errors, so I will see if I can renew again this month once the sub runs out.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 6,383 Mod ✭✭✭✭Nowso


    its a mastercard thats recomended not a visa on revolut



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,770 ✭✭✭Darwin


    Yes but Revolut are no longer giving me the single use Mastercard option (unless I am missing something?)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 592 ✭✭✭Enrico Palazzo


    Wouldn't you rather use the multi-use virtual card to not to have to re-enter a new single-use card number every month?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,770 ✭✭✭Darwin


    Of course I would, but it doesn't work any more for some reason. I could only renew using the single use card. My subscription expires at midnight tomorrow, so I'll post back on what does and doesn't work for renewing.

    Using Argentinian VPN (KeepSolid) but still seeing $ and Euro prices. What is the knack to seeing the correct currency?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,545 ✭✭✭dor83


    I had the same problem with PureVPN, Tunnel Bear worked fine for me and you can use the free version.

    Turns out it was working showing the $99 as Argentina use the dollar symbol for their currency too. ARS$99= 40c at the moment!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,204 ✭✭✭✭The Nal


    57c this month



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,178 ✭✭✭DopeTech


    Question for anybody using it for a few months. Do the recommendations improve as I still see a lot of Latin recommendations in my playlists. Does it eventually learn or is this just one minor inconvenience for buying via Argentina.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,969 ✭✭✭Raoul


    Yeah, they do. You will still see the odd Latin thing but not too much.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,204 ✭✭✭✭The Nal


    Best way to look for recommendations is by genre.

    Explore - Genre - (Choose Genre) - New tracks. Currently working my way through some lovely Folk/Americana. The discovery is very good on Tidal.

    The more you use it the better the algorithm gets. But if you just go to Explore - New you'll always get all the Argie shite.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 561 ✭✭✭muloc


    Using Tidal Argentina near 2 years. Never noticed Latin content till now really. I'm only seeing it in the 'from our editors' section.

    All the other sections are in line with my tastes...daily discovery, new arrivals.

    I suppose it'll change as you use it more to suit your taste.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 6,383 Mod ✭✭✭✭Nowso


    the spanish pop ups on the phone still stay spanish though when they come from time to time



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,178 ✭✭✭DopeTech


    Yes I had one this morning but I can live with them at this price. Amazing value. Just going to wait to see my first card payment be successful before cancelling Spotify.

    Has anyone found any good free alternative to TuneMyMusic to sync Spotify with Tidal?
