YouTube Premium thread SEE OP

No way can I get this iTunes method to work for me. Even made a new YouTube account to try and do it but it just buffers after I click confirm to start the premium plan and then just stops after a while as if I cancelled it buffering. With and without a VPN makes no difference either.

Head wrecking.

When I did it I didn't use a vpn. I'm pretty certain the method posted here doesn't require one.

I say the iTunes method doesn't work for me a few days ago and I get snarky comments about how I obviously need to use a VPN (even though the instructions say you don't), then I try and anticipate the first response by saying I tried both with and without a VPN and I still get snarky comments. I can't win.

Anyone know of any other Turkish subscriptions I could try with my Lira?

Im not being snarky but why have you even got lira? You just buy credit for your Turkish iTunes account with your normal bank card. Then set up your you tube subscription to be paid via your Turkish iTunes account.

Hi. Could you consider me and 2 other names?

That means I have 3 members for you. I would pay for the 3.

Is the user definitely using the YouTube app on the apple device? They specifically mentioned they were using the website through Safari here but never confirmed after that they have tried to subscribe from within the app after it was pointed out.

You have to use the app in order to be presented with the option of paying via your apple account (and thus the giftcard balance) - using the website will not. And you 100% do not need to use a VPN at this point. You just need to make sure that the Turkey apple id is what is currently signed in on the app store on the device you are using. The VPN is only needed when creating the apple id, after that it should be left turned off.

There's no VPN needed ever that's the beauty of it. Next year when I need to top up I just login with my Turkish Apple ID buy enough Turkish credits for the year, logout, log back in to my standard Irish account and I'm sorted 👍

I think I'm passed saving because I honest to God feel like I've done everything.

I created a new Turkish apple ID with a different email (but this new ID actually has the same email as my existing YouTube account). It has my Irish phone number (which the instructions say isn't a problem) and I was never asked for an exact address.

I've signed into this Turkish ID on my iPad on both the appstore and in settings. I added 1500 Lira using the website linked in the instructions and it's in my account.

I've uninstalled the YouTube app and reinstalled it with my new ID (in case that was why it wasn't working). After a few failures with my own Google account, I've created a new unconnected one with the hopes of creating a family plan.

When I don't use a VPN YouTube is offering me premium in euros and when I do it's offering it to me in Lira but I can't complete the purchase, so somehow it's tracking my location and I don't know how.

The step I'm definitely missing is that I was never prompted to enter my address which the instructions say I should be at some point (my apple ID location is set to Turkey though) so maybe if I can find out how to add this I might be good. (I can't find an option to add address in settings nor can I see a way they're tracking my current one)

After turning off and on my iPad, YouTube now offers me premium in Lira without a VPN on my new Google account but I still can't complete the purchase the same as before. On my existing YouTube account it still comes up as "unable to verify country".

According to the instructions, when I try to purchase premium I'm supposed to be prompted to enter my Turkish address but this isn't happening. Just buffers for a few seconds without leaving the page and then stops buffering.

Ya no issues.
