Spotify wants me to have a card from said county. I read that you can use PayPal, but they want a phone number from that country.

Any advice?

    Is a gift card the way to do it?

    I thought I’d be doing a subscription.

    So how do I get the gift cards?

      I think Spotify blocks the usage of foreign credit cards (ie, non-Indian Credit cards). A way to circumvent this is by using gift cards. You can buy them from Amazon using the same credentials as your local Amazon account. Then it’s easiest to gift them to yourself, eg, this: https://www.amazon.in/Spotify-Premium-Standard-3Month-Card/dp/B09Z6ZDKZ6

      There is a limit on how many vouchers you can redeem per day (I think it’s four per 24 hours) but just redeem the remaining cards the next day.

      To redeem the gift cards in your account you’ll have to login using an Indian VPN and then change your location. Once your location is changed, deactivate the VPN again. Then redeem the vouchers (6 3-months vouchers would give you 12 months of duo and 10 months of family). After reaching the daily limit wait 24 hours and redeem the remaining vouchers.

      Once all vouchers are redeemed you can switch back to your location.

        You’re the best. Only one to actually answer my question.

        I’ll be doing this tonight. Thank you so much
