So are people getting this cancelled and refunded?

Just checked mine and it still says premium until sept 19. :cool:

Just to be sure my account is ok I moved to Turkey.

Have mine 2 months and subscription still looks fine.

However Ive just re-subscribed to Spotify. Have found the music selection to be quite poor on Deezer, and user interface is fairly poor. And don't get me started on the stupidly bright screen and the fact they've ignored any requests for a night mode theme.

after a couple of weeks with it, Ive found same thing. I basically got 2 years of deezer for same price as 2 months of spotify but its such a weaker service all round (user interface, playlists on alexa, song availability) for me that I think I'll go back to spotify, I'll wait til after after 2 months so wont really be at a loss.

if I hadnt had the spotify premium in the first place not sure I would have missed it as much.

Mine is still working as well. 5-6 weeks and I’ve never had Spotify so don’t really know what I was missing. Only use it on Alexa for some songs and use the playlists on the phone. So all good for me.

I went with the family plan in mid-August and my first payment of 14.99TL was taken from my Revolut card in mid September. I have set up a Turkish Lira wallet on Revolut for the purpose and all good so far.

While Spotify's UI is slightly better than Deezer, the music choice is pretty much identical. Both have apps for Apple Carplay and integrate with the Amazon Echo while Deezer has an Apple Watch app also. Personally I think that Deezer sounds better than Spotify having used them both. My only real complaint is sometimes flaky connection issues using the app while on 4G. The app will state that it is not connected to the internet when the phone clearly is.

Open VPN account with NordVPN for a 7 day free trial, once installed on phone or puter select Turkey.

Open www.deezer.com/tr

Use Google chrome as your browser as it'll automatically translate in English

Open new account with totally new email and bank card.

Look at pricing options, if not quoted in Turkish Lira then something has gone wrong.

Select gift card and buy 12 month subscription for ~17 yoyos

Code emailed to you, then add it to original irish account so you don't get the Turkish playlists etc.

Trying to sign up for the 99 TL for the year offer; keep getting rejected using VPN unlimited with 2 different cards.

However, they've placed multiple different holds on the fee (99 TL), which I assume are just holds and I wont have to go following them up for it.

Any ideas what im doing wrong?

Switched over myself last month. I haven't yet found a song I wanted missing and I'd have very varied tastes so no issues there for me.

The interface isn't as clean and responsive as Spotify imo. Can't really pinpoint it I just don't remember it taking as long to move around Spotify and it seems less intuitive but that may just be lack of familiarity.

Deezer also doesn't seem to "get to know me" like Spotify.

Will most likely reactivate Spotify

Signed up over a month ago now. When I say signed up, I mean bought three 1 year vouchers from Deezer Turkey to which I gave two to family members and one for myself.

All vouchers worked and each account said that we each had Deezer hifi for a year. This was until yesterday where each of our accounts went back to free without any notification.

I'd assume it's a clampdown, didn't get any refund or word of warning anyone wanting to try this. Gonna have to switch back to Spotify Family now. Other than that I can't figure it out, but there you go.

Make sure you got the refund. Many have. There seems to have been a cutoff where anyone after a certain point came in is getting the chop.
I got mine middle of August. Stacked for 2 years. Still going strong. Lad in work got his first week in sept. Got the chop a week later.
I got my account switched from turkey to Ireland. Maybe made a difference.

have to say after a month or two you can understand why its a hell of a lot cheaper to spotify or google & apple music. Its not as good feature wise or as easy to use.

Should and where can I go about getting a refund? 51 quid for three 1 year vouchers, would be nice to be refunded to given the service paid for has been stopped. But am I in a position to ask for a refund given what we are doing is probably frowned upon by Deezer? Thanks.

Just to add: voucher bought in turkey but all three Deezer accounts are Irish for the start and right up until the stopped each of our services.

Yeah still works. I signed up a few months ago to the family plan and still working today.

I presume then you have to stay using a turkish account and cant switch to Irish to get the podcasts, Irish playlists etc?

Log on with a desktop. Open a support chat. Ask them to change you to Ireland. Few minutes tops.

And they have no issue with having an irirsh account but paying the turkish prices monthly? Jeez thats nuts

That's why they have started cancelling accounts. Hundreds of eejits getting on to support suspiciously wanting to change location from Turkey to Ireland. I bought the gift card with a Turkish vpn and haven't got any Turkish playlists or suggestions etc. Even if you have, its worth a slight inconvenience for such a cheap discount. Stupid people ruin everything though.

Well then isn't the whole essence of a bargain alert such as this one stupid then? Should the OP said nothing and kept it to himself/herself? are the people who jumped on and exploited a deezer loophole then just stupid people in the eye of the OP as they could have possibly ruined everything for him/her?

There’s a difference between multiple people taking advantage of this bargain to save money and people basically telling Deezer they are scamming them.

The first is a sharing a great bargain, the second is screaming at the company “HEY YOU HAVE A BIG LOOPHOLE THAT I’VE USED TO SAVE MONEY!!!! CAN YOU FIX THE STUPID MISTAKE I MADE WHILE SIGNING UP FOR THIS?”

Is this still working? If I get it and apply to my account and just leave it as is do ye think it will work ok? I would be mainly using it for Alexa
