UPDATE 28/10/23: FUPS continues to work on the Xbox Turkey Store for those with existing FUPS accounts and cards, however signing up for a new FUPS account is currently not possible without a valid Turkish ID. Please note OlduBil cards are no longer accepted on the Xbox Turkey Store. These changes are due to regulatory changes in Turkey, specifically around the use of \"anonymous\" pre-paid cards and there are no current known workarounds. The guide will be left as is, in order to assist those with previously activated FUPS accounts.
Temporary Turkish mobile no for receiving FUPS activation SMS (PingMe app recommended - see notes below)
Reloadable FUPS debit card purchased from Plati.Market
Access to a (new or existing) Revolut account for converting GBP funds to TRY and loading these funds on to the FUPS card.
Some degree of patience, it is a bit fiddly to set up but once done significant savings can be made in the long term, or until Microsoft block this method.
1) Firstly, download the FUPS app from the Apple Store or the Google Play Store. Both are available to download from the UK variants of the Apple and Google Play stores. FUPS is a virtual prepaid debit card issued in Turkey that allows you to pay anywhere in TRY without verification e.g. the submission of a passport or driving license for KYC puposes, this does however mean that you have a monthly limit of 2750 TRY - this monthly limit is reset on the 1st of each month. Once you have the app installed, the default language may be changed to English by clicking over the 3 dots to the top right of the screen and selecting English language accordingly.
Complete the FUPS registration by entering your first and last name, along with your email address. I have seen people suggest elsewhere that a Turkish name should be used, however I personally used my own, real, legitimate name for consistency across the board. Continue with the registration and enter the 6 digit code that will be sent to your email address.
2) You will now be required to enter a Turkish mobile phone number. Whilst there is an option present here to enter a UK mobile phone number, rest assured this DOES NOT WORK. The best option for obtaining a temporary Turkish mobile phone number is to use the PingMe app from the Apple Store or the Google Play Store. Basically, you need to click “Balance Recharge” and select your chosen payment method, note that 2 coins equates to 1 SMS received. I personally used the Apple store, where 5 credits costs £5.99. Once your coins are topped up, click “Verification” and select “FUPS” as the website to validate, with Turkey as the Country, and click “Next”. A temporary Turkey mobile no will then be displayed on-screen, if the PingMe app gives you an error that no Turkish number is available, simply refresh or try the process again. Copy and paste the provided Turkish mobile phone number into the FUPS app, you’ll then receive a 6 digit SMS code in PingMe that needs to be entered into the FUPS app for verification. Finish the FUPS app set up by setting your personal PIN.
It is advisable that you make a permanent record of the temporary Turkish number allocated to you, and that you keep that number safe for future reference. Importantly, you will need to specify the number used on registering for FUPS should you ever get locked out of the app, change your mobile phone, reinstall the app, or otherwise need to log back into FUPS at some point again.
3) You now need to buy a FUPS reloadable debit card from Plati.Market. CARE - You need to buy the actual card, NOT a top up, so avoid any options that say the words “Top Up”or “Recharge”. There will be quite a few sellers on there, try to look for a seller that accepts payments by PayPal, if that is your preference. Example - I managed to pick up a FUPS card here via PayPal from the seller with great feedback for approx £4. The card purchased has an expiry date of 2026. Note that these are reloadable cards that can be used time and time again, until the card expiry date. After payment you will receive an image of the card with a QR code from the seller. Please keep these card details safe and do not dispose of it, as the card details are not viewable from within the FUPS app. In the FUPS app click on “Cards” and scan the QR code and set up a 4 digit PIN to activate the FUPS card in your app.
IMPORTANT! (credit to & for helpful security tips): Whilst in the FUPS app, it is recommended that you change the following security settings. Remember, once the FUPS Virtual Visa Card is activated in your app, the card does still exist in physical form somewhere in the world. Whilst the risk of someone using the physical card to spend your own funds is relatively small (we are completely reliant on reputable sellers doing the honest thing and destroying the physical card safely following of the sale of the card to you via Plati.Market), the risk is obviously still there, and you can make changes to security settings in the FUPS app to minimise the risk further. It goes without saying that you should not keep your life savings and/or excess funds on these cards, only ever top up the amount of funds needed to buy what you need at any given time, and nothing more.
4) There are very few ways to actually top-up the FUPS card, but Revolut works like a treat, in an instant. Firstly load up your Revolut account with the required funds and click “Exchange” in the Revolut app to convert the amount to TRY and complete the conversion of your funds. Then click “Transfer”, then “New” at the top right of the screen and select “Card recipient”, then fill in the required data i.e. your FUPS debit card number and the amount of TRY currency that you wish to transfer over. Note that Revolut will apply a very small charge here for doing so. The sent funds should reach the FUPS card pretty much instantly.
Be aware that FUPS will apply a 5% transaction fee to your purchase on the Xbox Store, please therefore account for this transaction fee when loading Turkish Lira to your FUPS card to ensure there are sufficient funds available for your purchase to go through successfully.
Note that you can also purchase directly from the Turkish Xbox store using an Oldubil card. Whilst technically much easier to set up, via their iOS or Android app with a regular UK mobile phone number, actually loading funds on to the Oldubil card is another matter. This can be facilitated via an International IBAN bank transfer, however users of MyDealz report missing bank transfer payments and the like. You can however top up the Oldubil virtual card (displayed directly in app after signing up) instantly with a Turkish debit card, which is where the FUPS virtual card comes in. Whilst not at all needed if you plan to use FUPS only, this does present a backup payment option should you run into difficulty using FUPS. You can also avoid the 5% transaction charge altogether by paying for your games using the Oldubil card.
5) You can then purchase your required games directly on the Turkish Xbox store via a web browser, without the use of a VPN. I personally used Chrome, without incognito mode, however that is something you may wish to try. You DO NOT need to formally change your account or console region, leave it as it is. Simply go to any game you wish to purchase on the Xbox store and change en-GB to tr-TR in the website URL, the store currency will change to TRY accordingly. You can use Google translate, however the Xbox store functions exactly how it does on the GB storefront. Click the green buy button and opt to add a new card, here you should enter details of your FUPS / Oldubil card. Proceed with the purchase and you should get a notification in the FUPS / Oldubil app advising the payment was successful. Any game you purchase should be in your regular console library to download.
Voila!
Q&A
1) Does this method work with Xbox pre-orders?
Yes, but only if the game is within 10 days of its release date.
2) Does this method work with Xbox Live and Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions on the Turkey Store?
Yes!
3) Oh no! I've been locked out of FUPS / changed mobile phone / re-installed the FUPS app / cannot access my FUPS account / otherwise need to log back into the FUPS app.... what do I do?

You will need the FUPS Card and CVC numbers, the PIN number you assigned to it during setup, and the details of the temporary Turkish phone number originally used to set up the FUPS app.
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE - To see the Turkish phone number used in the FUPS app, click the \"My Profile\" icon in the top right corner, and click into \"Personal Information\". The Turkish phone number starting with +90 is recorded there. As discussed earlier, it is worth saving all this information in a secure location for future reference.
To recover your FUPS account or add to a new phone etc., install the app, change the language to English from the 3 dots in the top right corner.
1 - After opening the app in English select - \"Registered, let's go\". 2 - Click \"I forgot my password\". 3 - Enter the Turkish +90 number for the account. 4 - Press \"Continue\" and enter last 4 numbers of the FUPS card and the CVC number. 5 - Enter your 4 digit card PIN that you setup during the initial registration. 6 - Select \"Continue\" and set a new six digit number password.","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/50879355","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Confused11811"},"datePublished":"2023-08-29T08:19:41.000Z","text":"Log time lurker on Hotdeals but a first time poster here. I hope the following information on how to recover your FUPS account helps.
The information comes from the German Mydealz thread the OP mentioned.
It's possible to recover your FUPS account if you're ever logged out of it , replace your phone or just add it to a 2nd phone if you want.
However to do this you will need the FUPS Card and CVC numbers, the PIN number you assigned to it during setup and the details of the phone Turkish phone number the card was set up with.
To see the phone number in the FUPS app go \"My Profile icon\" and into \"personal information\" The Turkish phone number starting with +90 is there. It's worth saving all this information in a secure location for future reference !!!
To recover the account or add to a new phone install the app, change the language to English from the 3 dots in the top right corner
1 - After opening the app in english select - \"Registered, let's go\"
2 - I forgot my password

Revolut transfer direct via the debit card number is undoubtedly the quickest and easiest method.
However there will be a number of people who won't have Revolut. Or might just be casual/curious user and another really simple way to transfer is Remitly. The first transfer is free and the exchange rates are good.
Like Revolut you can do a near instant transfer to the debit card directly. After your first transfer there is a few of €2.99. I'm in the euro zone so not sure what the £ charge would be. So it's not the best option but it's not a bad backup method.
I also tried Remitly to top up Oldubil via the card directly however the card is unsupported. Apparently card that number start with \"4\" are supported but those that start with \"5\" are not. Oldubil virtual cards are are beginning with \"5\". I actually bought a physical card too in the hopes it would start with \"4\" but this began with \"5\" also.
I would also advise that anyone using FUPS disable the tap feature on the card and in settings disable shopping by phone/mail and ATM usage. As added security it's also possible to freeze the card in-between transactions. And keep the funds on the card at a minimum to avoid loses.
I recommend this because the card does physically exist in Turkey somewhere. It's not beyond the realms of possibility that some sellers may at some stage use try to use the physical card via tap transactions.
Again thanks for the guide it's worked brilliantly for me. As long as people are smart about the risks and they backup all the details of the FUPS card including the phone number registered to the account there is no reason why this card can't be used well into the future.
EDIT - I meant to say another provider that should work with the direct debit card transfer is Paysend. I haven't tried myself but they do support send to debit card transactions. I imagine it'll work with at least the FUPS card but Oldubil is a different matter. They say they supports MasterCard transfers, which is what Oldubil virtual card is. I might try later if I get a chance.
EDIT2 - I took the plunge and decided to try Paysend on Oldubil. It crapped out , took my money and then issued an instant refund which will take 5 days 🫣
EDIT3 - The repayment from Paysend to my card (Revolut) went through pretty quick but my account with Paysend was locked out. I got onto the support team and it was sorted out they unlocked it but never told me why it was locked.
Despite this I tired the transfer again to Oldubil with different cards and yet it refused to go through. Money was taken and refunded. I'm sure it will work for FUPS but I've no need to explore further as I have a working method with Revolt and Remitly"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52282773","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"darkstryder360"},"datePublished":"2024-02-27T11:04:35.000Z","text":"Some good random deals spotted:

Finally! Kudos to OP & this thread.
Went the Oldubil route but regretted it. Haven't tried it but FUPS method is probably easier. Wasted HUGE amounts of time. But now I've got 20 games for £35 instead of £100+.
EDIT: According to Congers816 (below) the Revolut card can be used to topup Oldubil. If thats the case then I'd definitely recommend Oldubil.
MY OLDUBIL PROBLEMS Getting the card was easy enough, problem was loading it with money. OP pointed that out, but thought I'd give it a go anyway, so its all on me. Tried with Halifax Clarity as that can pay in foreign currency - Oldubil app just wouldn't accept it (vague error just said that card cannot be used). Tried Electronic Transfer (via OFX) and after a day got a phone call asking for my life history and financial statements! As Turkey has been marked as a dodgy financial area, they have to do extra legal checks. Fine. I did it all. Next day, instead of processing or rejecting - they passed it onto their compliance team. After half a day I could see they were umming & arring about taking the risk (for £35!), and time was running out, so gave them couple hours deadline & they cancelled it. Also this EFT method needed me to find a lot more details about the particular bank & branch (for that account number) for paying into Oldubil.
So, signed up for Binance - the other way found on Internet for loading it. Wow. Thats wasn't an easy process! Well, it is easy once you know what you're doing, which takes a long time because you're basically joining a giant wall street-like financial system. And what you do has to be DONE VERY VERY CAREFULLY because any small mistake could mean loss of your money or your reputation on there (& then blocking). They're super-hot on authentication because anything to do with bitcoin gets attacked by hackers and fraudsters and once assets are gone they're impossible to get back. In addtion, the way to pay into Oldubil is not standard account name and number - you have to select one of their many bank accounts in their Turkish banks & get that account number and use their company name, not your name or Oldubil, and your card number to transfer money in.
So, I learned it all, went through the email and SMS authentication hoops, set-up all the security and managed sell some coins for Turkish Lira onto my Oldubil, then Binance decided before I could send the guy who gave me money already, I had to install Google Authenticator app! No choice. Problem is, if I didn't give the guy what he paid for, I could get into trouble with Binance & get blacklisted as a crook (because there are lots on there). OK, I did the Google Authentication. Of course, now Binance decided that wasn't enough! So, I also needed the email authentication at the same time! EXCEPT BINANCE WOULDNT SEND THE AUTHENTICATION CODE. Its like they were trying to make my first transaction fail & turn me into a crook. Ridiculous. Fortunately, the buyer was patient. In the end I had to talk to support who made ME raise an appeal about the transaction(?)(somehow they couldn't just sort it), and include proof the funds were transferred (even though I told them they were). This was OK to do because Oldubil app shows receipts & you can email those. Anyway, they confirmed the transaction and all OK. This all added an hour delay to the transaction. I guess Binance are anal about this because lots of people have been conned. You must make sure the person who bought your bitcoin is the one who transferred the money into Oldubil, otherwise, a chargeback could be done afterwards and Oldubil would have cancelled the transfer after you'd released your coins to the fraudster. And probably still charged you for the transfer and whatever for the chargeback too.
Here's the next problem that makes the Oldubil method not as good - they take 10% of the money you transfer in. That was £3.50 in my case. This may be more expensive than the plati.market route. I wouldn't mind this charge, but put together with all the other mess, I can't recommend Oldubil method unless you're confident with bitcoin dealing or experienced in it and very careful about checking & double-checking all the little things in transactions & anal about following the Binance guides.

The only change is you need a turkish ID number to get the FUPS card, adding an extra step.
Wondering if that would work, although looking at the FUPS page everything is in turkish. Although per your instructions, phone number is needed after email verification. So can give it a go and see if it works i guess.
Edit: Sorry to dissapoint, they emailed back. Asked specifically about Tax ID but doubtful.
In order to register and use FUPS, you need to be Republic of Türkiye citizen or have residence permission ID.

You may refer to my guide on mydealz with Google Translate to understand the exact steps to be taken.
It is also possible to gift games from the Turkish store even though the function is not officially present. All it needs is some network traffic manipulation as presented in this guide. Comes in handy if you've got a friend who does not have a Turkish credit card of his own. Only works for games, though, and not the subscriptions."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/50614852","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"bernardsfingers"},"datePublished":"2023-07-19T01:53:02.000Z","text":"Wow some of the prices are crazy cheap. I just bought:
KINGDOM HEARTS - HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX
KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue
KINGDOM HEARTS Ⅲ
Total 425.62 TL
So around £13 total for all 3 including FUPS fees. It's like around £71 for these three in the same sale on the UK site!
I've also noticed that many games are cheaper on the Turkish Xbox compared to PlayStation. e.g. KINGDOM HEARTS - HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX seems to be 439 TL on Turkish PSN (219.50 TL in current sale), while it's 218.75 TL on the Xbox (109 TL in current sale).
@deleted449189 don't suppose you're thinking about doing Xbox Turkey sale threads now are you?

All good advice. Just to reiterate: - Fups App -> Cards-> On the Card (Settings) -> Toggle \"Shopping by Phone or Mail\" - Fups App -> Cards-> On the Card (Contactless & Transac. Option) -> Toggle"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51098893","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"aseddon130"},"datePublished":"2023-09-30T22:16:32.000Z","text":"I had this working perfectly but I upgraded my iPhone today and when I’ve come to trying to log into the FUPS app I can’t log back into my account and card because it’s requesting a mobile number and password (which was stored in the PingMe app) but it then requested an SMS code which I cannot get because I don’t have access to the original phone number tied to my original account.
Has anybody else encountered this and if so, how did you get around it??
