VPN set location to Argentina, purchase YT pro, I used a Monzo card. Under £2.00 a month.
Been using it for a few years.
I’ve been doing the same for the last 18 months although my Halifax Clarity card expires in a few months so I might have an issue with it unfortunately.Been using it for a few years.

That’s the thing - I watch more YT than anything, and (as designed) the adverts just wore me down in the end. I have to say that it is a bit novel just clicking on a video and it starts!
I find my tolerance varies depending on the advert and how often it repeats. I think the tactic is to wear you down but sometimes they just drive me to Rumble.
Retrying this as sick of the ads and i've canned Netflix now.
Have Chrome Browser with Urban VPN.
Doesn't affect PC as runs Ad Block anyway.
I mainly watch on TV with a Chromecast unit.
I'm hoping to add premium to the PC and assuming when I re log in on Chromecast it'll pick up the Premium.
Tried Argentina, with Credit Debit and Revolut but all are Visa so no joy.
Don't have a Mastercard.
Would a different country work with Visa?

If you apply for Monzo, Starling, Kroo or Chase card you would have a functioning card number in 15 minutes.

You don't add premium to a device, it's added to the account you log in to YouTube with, so any device you use YouTube for the Premium membership will apply provided you log in to YouTube on that device.I'm hoping to add premium to the PC and assuming when I re log in on Chromecast it'll pick up the Premium.

Premium is quality but I wouldn't pay the UK prices for it.
Yea it is - I probably would pay full price only as my partner and I watch it for at least an hour every night. But I'd feel ripped of by the cost of it. Thankfully the VPN trick has worked really well for about 2-3 years now.

Just done this with Nord via Ghana, costing GHS 23.00/mo which works out to £1.36. Revolut wouldn't work but Monzo did no issue.
Thanks to whoever worked this out, the YouTube ads were really starting to do my head in.
You're welcome Thanks to whoever worked this out, the YouTube ads were really starting to do my head in.
Funny-ish story. I had YouTube premium via Argentina for about 2 years. I was paying about £1.20 per month.
The world went nuts when YouTube hiked up prices across all countries. The US and UK got hit really badly.
I got the email saying prices were going up. I was pretty annoyed and looked.
The price went from £1.20 to £1.80 or something like that.
Absolute bargain for being able to click on any video without adverts. It's one of my main forms of entertainment and follow many people on there. Some very unknown basic channels and others who are basically pros and making high quality stuff

Being so happy to pay 7 quid, and delighted to pay three quid, suggests to me they are buttering you up to pay 12 quid plus when they decide to flip the switch on the Argentina scam
Yeah, you can bet that if anyone knows exactly who/where you are on the Internet ... it's Google.The fact that they are allowing people to sign up as if they were in a completely different country for a much lower price (when Google surely knows they are in the UK) definitely suggests to me that they are basically trying to get people hooked on the service for when they get around to pulling the rug in the future.

Any recommendations for a free or cheap VPN to use so I can maximise my time in Argentina or Turkey..
No need to maximise your time in Argentina or Turkey. The VPN is only needed for the signing up process. Once you have subscribed you won’t need to use a VPN again. Just use any free trial of a VPN.
