I wanted to get my mom YouTube Premium for her birthday but don’t want to pay the ridiculous annual price for my country (especially since she mostly just watches YouTube shorts). She uses an iPhone so trying to get adblocker would be too much of a hassle, especially if it stops working. She won’t be able to figure out how to fix it.
I’ve tried using account sellers in the past but the last one I used had some issues and now I can’t add my mom’s YouTube account to a different family account for another year.
I am able to use a VPN to buy premium for cheaper from a different country but they require a credit card for that country. Is it possible to get a virtual debit/credit card for different countries?
Correct me if this changed but you can pay for premium in India with a regular card, you just have to provide fake billing address. I’ve been doing this for years now so maybe I’m grandfathered into some old payment scheme but I’m fairly sure my gf did this recently too when she had to switch from Argentina.
Yeah as far as I know this still works.
You need to use a valid address (there are sites for generating one)
You also need to use a credit card that has never previously been used in Google with another address
That sounds correct. AFAIK most countries in the world do not do credit card AVS (address verification service) so aside from a select few countries you would be able to enter just about any address for those country’s cards.
e.g. related discussion https://money.stackexchange.com/questions/11979/in-what-countries-can-credit-card-merchants-use-address-verification or just search the internet for other sources.
The one catch is the card would have to be from that country that doesn’t support AVS e.g. for India I think you are saying that you used an India based card, right?
