Hello,

I'm from Germany. I already published a deal on Mydealz a few days ago.

Update: Unfortunately, it is no longer possible to get an unlimited Spotify subscription in the UK. However, it is still possible to get 17 months of Spotify Family UK.

Important: Many of your questions are already answered by the [5] FAQ. You can find a video on these instructions under [4] Video instructions. I recommend doing the whole thing on your PC and dialling India.

Important notes:

The Spotify account must have free status (no active subscription)
It is not possible to subsequently extend an account with additional codes.
After followingthe instructions, your account will be back in Germany

    Trick described here is as old as this world. It works for good 14 years. BUT be prepared your account be blocked at some point: maybe in a month or maybe in a years time. I used this couple years ago and been blocked after 7 months. Tried again and that time only 5 months until you are blocked. And each time I have received an email, saying I have fraudulently created subscriptions, so account blocked and that authorities might be informed, lol. Remember: this is NOT the same as buying subscription using countries where it is cheap! I have my polish Spotify account and monthly subscription for few euros and it is working fine here in the UK for 4th year.

    How much is the family plan for you in Poland at the mo?

    Is there a guide similar to this for YouTube premium?
    bensbb's avatar
    Search for YouTube premium argentina. I used tunnel bear vpn (free for 500mb, enough to do it). (edited)
  3. dadofdaisy's avatar
    I’ve just done this, thanks for the guide.

    Just one thing that may be worth clarifying. You NEED to also buy the 1 month code as you lose that when cancelling half way through. It wasn’t clear to me and I just bought 6x 6 month codes, meaning I lost the first 6 month code. I’m not too bothered about it as it’s still a great deal and a fantastic guide, thanks for sharing!
    ShortyRees's avatar
    I was confused about this so thank you for the heads up!
  4. RichH6109's avatar
    Just gone through your instructions with 6-month Indian giftcards and got an account that expires at the end of 2026. Thanks!

    I got a bit stuck on Step 25 until I noticed that you have to downgrade to Spotify Free - there wasn't a "cancel" button.
    Josu's avatar
    thank you, stuck on the same step lol. Thank you!

    The 12 month Indian credit doesn't seem to be available when I click the link.

    Great instructions OP. Have some heat
    Kenixa's avatar
    Author
    You can also take 6 months on amazon india if the 12 months are not currently in stock. In the end it comes down to the same thing for 3 years, with 6 months you have to open 7 tabs instead of the 4 tabs with 12 months (edited)
  6. ok11's avatar
    Thanks a lot, it worked!

    PS to cancel Premium (step 26) you actually have to change plan to Spotify Free and then Cancel.

  10. livesf's avatar
    Worth noting you don't get AI-generated 'daylists' (but you do still have Mixes etc) on the Indian/Egyptian versions of Spotify Premium - but a v small loss compared to the savings made, tbf
    Kenixa's avatar
    Author
    you are getting it wrong. with the instructions you are only a few minutes in egypt or india. after completing the instructions you have a full UK family account
  11. Zosia's avatar
    Thanks, I never used Spotify before, but at this price it might be worth it. Bought 2years worth of vouchers from India at £28. (edited)
    MirrorBill's avatar
    Make sure you follow the steps carefully, especially 10-14.
    I would read the whole post first before you do it.
    Definitely worth £28 IMO
  12. David_Danson's avatar
    This is Brilliant! got a question tho, can you just keep adding 12 month credit after you have completed this? or will it not work like that?
    Jusnamb's avatar
    If you have to start a new account at the end of the 3 years, you can just send all your play lists via what's app to yourself then add them to new account. Alot of people don't seem to realise you can do this sort of thing.
  13. Arkade's avatar
    Is it easy to add people to your family account once set up through Spotify India? Don't they need to confirm an address and that address presumably needs to be India? Or once signed up for family can you change your address to anywhere?
    Andy1127's avatar
    no, you change your address to the UK address, because you disabled the VPN.
  14. zeb.mattey's avatar
    Just pay for the damn company and pay the artists you enjoy.

    Spotify isn't much. These kind of workarounds are pitiful honestly.
    Kenixa's avatar
    Author
    I don't want to convince you, but you should be aware that most of the money only goes to the biggest artists. small artists are exploited by Spotify.
  15. aqs123's avatar
    Did this on Sunday morning all worked fine. Woke up this morning to an email asking to update my password 'due to suspicious activity' lost all my premium (4 years) and all my playlists. Looks like my account has been reset? Any help would be great. Otherwise it looks like £40 odd down the drain
    aqs123's avatar
    Opened Spotify on my laptop and everything seems to be fine now. Went back to my phone and playlists and 4 years of premium seems to be back on the app now. False alarm.
  16. herrbz's avatar
    I called Spotify because I couldn't get it to work, and they said it was a misprice that would be fixed. Wouldn't let me do it.
    Conkers816's avatar
    Ahh the classic HUKD misprice tradition

    Do I need to turn on vpn every single time when I wanna to listen 🎧 Spotify?

    Author
    No, why would you? It's a uk account. Are you not in the uk?
  18. azza452's avatar
    For UK at least, step 25/26 should be this:

    Step 25: Under "Manage your Plan", click on "Change Plan"
    Step 26: Change to "Spotify Free"
    Kenixa's avatar
    Author
    Thanks, it seems to be a bit different in uk than in Germany. I've customized it
  19. mad569797's avatar
    Help please. I have got to step 23 but now on coming back to Spotify it says finish setting up your plan and is asking me to enter an address. Do I put my uk address in here?

    yes

    If it helps I had the utube on my phone and used the lappy to make it work pausing every step of the way. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Took me about 20 minutes ( I am a Neanderthal mind)

    Let me guys if it's worth going through this process if possible, thanks!
  22. JLCNY's avatar
    Thanks for this, major heat! I purchased the 1 month and 6-month gift cards but they haven't been sent and it's been about 20 minutes... I wonder if the order's going to be blocked? Thanks for the thorough instructions! I will comment if successful!

    Don't worry. this can sometimes happen quickly but can also take 1-2 hours.

    Do gift cards for Spotify Family require a different type? The ones in the OP does not seem to be eligible for Family plan.
    Kenixa's avatar
    Author
    don't let this confuse you. you can switch to family with the help of a trick on spotify. normal premium gif cards are sufficient for this.

    52531883-FXW4g.jpgI'm getting stuck logging into my Amazon account, its asking for India mobile number so it can send me OTP. Im using Surfshark as VPN. Where am i going wrong? (edited)
    Josu's avatar
    probably surfshark working incorrectly.
    Check if you IP actually indian - whatismyip.com/
    but better use your UK amazon account, at least I did this

    👏 I'm on 🇵🇭 for few years now approx £3.30 for 4 family members.

    Can this still be had?
  27. PennyPincher69's avatar
    I already did this a little while ago with Egypt gift cards for 18 months. However if I try to switch my account back to UK it will lower my subscription to only a few months. Can I convert my account to UK and keep all 18 months? (edited)
    AamirQuazi's avatar
    Short answer - no!

    but i’m using the same “trick” on 2 individual accounts… and as other comments have pointed out - the ops trick will eventually get your account blocked (maybe today maybe in 6 months)… while using an Egyptian/ indian account on vouchers is much safer.
  28. eddynoo1's avatar
    Free 6mth code for Indian -

    **used**

    I purchased 3yrs6 mths for some reason this one arrived 30 mins later and I lost track - still a bargain v happy someone else can have it

    reply once used to save people wasting there time I’ll delete it (edited)
    Shane_Prunty's avatar
    Would be delighted with this, thanks. Can I ask did you set up a new Amazon India account to buy it? I created an account, paid with Revolut and the order was cancelled after completing and money hasn't reverted to my card yet.
  29. accosuk's avatar
    Thanks, done the 3 year trick & it worked for me.

    My only hurdle through the process was Santander stopped my 1st transaction with amazon India.
    I got a txt msg from the bank almost instantly asking to confirm the above activity, a second txt msg then arrives asking you replay Y or N to the activity, I was then able to order the gift cards within minutes.

    Oh btw I see a lot of users b4 me saying no 12 month gift cards & I also found that true, but when I logged in to amazon.in & then done a search for Spotify the same seller popped up with 12 months, which I able to get.
  30. Whuelse's avatar
    Hi,
    Which value should be used in the Premium code field on the Redeem screen?
    (Gift card serial number 6.... or Pin BHN...)?? None of them seem to be working for me.

    Bought 4 cards worth @40£.
    Thanks (edited)
    Paranoia's avatar
    I had a product key starting BHN... About 10 characters.

    Have an Indian Spotify premium account and paying circa £12 a year for a family account. Been using it for a few years.

    The app works anywhere but the Indian login means there are some limitations in content. But it’s well worth it. (edited)

    For this, you can be banned at some point in a timely manner as they are permanently outside India. Be careful and take good care of yourself.

    I got an error which said this code is invalid in your country. I'm going to try again with a new email, but am waiting on the 1 month code to arrive.

    IMPORTANT: STEP 13 Step13: Solve the captcha in all tab s and click only once on "Continue" in all tabs , but NOT on "Redeem".

    I didn't click continue. There are 2 parts, the first page is a preparation, the second page is confirmation and this is where I went wrong.

    The glitch works by getting approval on the vouchers, then changing your plan to a UK premium family plan in the meantime. And then confirming and redeeming them once your plan is newly changed. (edited)

    That was exactly your mistake. Please stick to it exactly, then it will work.

    One code seems to be in a processing state on Amazon. Odd as I ordered one after it fine too (and one before)
    Been 2hours now, dunno if i should wait, order another etc.

    Can't cancel digital orders either even if not processed (edited)
    Andy_Reinlo's avatar
    So amazon customer service went around the houses then ultimately just sent a message to the seller on my behalf. Apparently they have 3 days to respond then amazon will just sort it out. Anyone else want to go this route i would suggest just messaging the seller rather then going through CS as it will save you some time and give the same result. You can copy and paste this exact text if you want that came from customer support:

    Dear Amazon Seller,
    This is Amazon’s Customer Service team. A customer reached out to us with some questions about a purchase they made from you. Here is a description of the issue:
    Product: B09Z7589D6
    Order number: "INSERT YOUR ORDER NUMBER"
    Return requested: No
    Reason for contact: Not delivered
    Please respond to this request within 48 hours.
    Thanks,
    Amazon Customer Service

    so my captcha timed out and now it says 'The code you’ve entered is invalid for your country'. don't know what to do now! do i try again with another email address? Also how do you stop the captcha timing out (doing this on mac) (edited)
    Andy1127's avatar
    thats because you have to press continue to the next phase on all the tabs, but do NOT press redeem until prompted (edited)
  39. dealmistro's avatar
    Brill - had a few delays and hairy moments. Intially tried to buy the annual gift cards this morning but they never came through and after 4 hours the order was cancelled (got a notification and the order showed as cancelled on order history) I assume a refund will be issued automatically..

    Then tried ordering the 6 month gift cards (brought 4). Had to wait a good 1 hour and half but they eventually came through.

    Then followed the instructions (used PIA as a VPN). A bit fiddly, but worked well. Thanks! (edited)
  40. pau1777's avatar
    All done. My 12 month gift cards were cancelled and refunded. Bought 6 of the 6 month cards, followed the instructions and bobs your uncle 3 years of spotify family!
