I have a Surf Shark VPN, I've connected to different countries, India, Ghana, Turkey etc but it still shows as £12.99 GBP to upgrade.
I don't want to change my location on my account as it says you can only change this once every 12 months.
Is that what i need to do ?
Anyone any ideas ?
Thanks
Set up a new account, also no risk of getting your existing account banned

So, connect via VPN - Set up a new google account & that should work in the foreign currency ?

I tried this morning using Ukraine. All went okay until it declined my cards saying it had to be issued in same country. Perhaps they’ve got wise to it?

I've managed to set it up vis Ghana for 23 GHS a month or £1.36.
I tried different countries, Turkey India etc but was getting a page saying "We couldn't verify your country " etc
I had previously tried Ghana this morning and it wouldn't work but it just gone through OK, here's my process -
I connected my VPN to Ghana
Went to YouTube
Accounts & Memberships
Upgrade to Premium, The Ghana price was listed
Then it asked for payment
I used a UK Mastercard but I had to fill the address in, I used a Ghana Hotel
All went through !

Try on a desktop browser maybe. Or type in the card details instead of using Google Pay (which might have your UK address stored).

I went on Google street view for Ghana and found myself a nice quiet little place near the beach, but close to local amenities smile

Tried debit and credit cards using Firefox on windows, same result.

Well the Argentina price rise has actually resulted in the price dropping to 79p this month.
