So I was actually surprised with the 52% discount on the Turkish store, regular price is 35eur and you can get 52% off right now. This is how I did it:
Made a new google account on android using Turkish VPN (Windscribe free version)
Added my card details through play store (not Turkish card)
Went to pay.google.com and added the following adress that I found on the Dutch post:
13 Hipodrom Street
Postcode: 06560
District: Yenimahalle
Province: Ankara
Downloaded Bluestacks and logged in to the google account (still under VPN)
Set up fake location in Bluestacks to Ankara (right sidebar, not sure if required)
Opened F1TV app and the offer for 279TRY popped up
Click on subscribe, create a new f1tv account (old ones work as well as long as you haven’t had a subscription on it at any point)
Pay via google pay using your card
Cancel the subscription through google play store (it can’t be cancelled on the f1tv website)
I managed to get it to work, and it seems it doesn’t need VPN to stream in my country (BG/EU).I have an old android phone that I used, because I didn’t want to mess with my accounts on my main one.
Signed up for the free trial of Surfshark via Google Pay on my main account on the phone (other VPN’s that I tried prior gave me wrong location (Czechia)). After you sign up immediately cancel your subscription so that it doesn’t take you money after the free trial. You can try to sign up with a virtual card to be safe if you can. Set up location to Turkey.
***Deleted Google accounts on the phone (don’t worry, photos and all the local data stays).*** Not sure if this is necessary so keep that in mind and if you want you can try and skip that part.
Deleted data and cache for Google Play Services and Google Play Store
Create a new account and in settings find and set “change store to Turkey” or something similar.
Download F1TV app
I registered a new account and then paid through the app. When signing up for location set Turkey. I didn’t set up Google Pay prior. I used a Revolut virtual card that I created specifically for this. After you are done, go to Google Play Store and cancel your subscription from there so that it doesn’t try and take you money next year. Go to Revolut and delete that virtual card.
Double check and make sure that you have cancelled the VPN on your main account. Google Play Store → Payments and subscriptions → Subscriptions → You should see “Surfshark VPN”, make sure to cancel it.
I did everything on the phone and the hardest part was finding VPN that works. The rest was easy. I just did it, so it still works.
Well since nobody seems to have tried the GPlay card I did… it doesn’t work (at least I’m unable to make it). Using Turkish VPN server and location provider via Bluestacks in Turkey all the way and fresh account “made in Turkey”. I’ve tried to look at alternatives for redeeming the card, but no success… if anyone has any tips, it’d be much appreciated.
Not working for me. Getting error “Could not complete Transaction, try a different payment method or contact us”. Tried MasterCard and visa, both give the same error.
Step 2 and 3 with VPN turned on?
Using windscribe the option to add a cc is gone in play store and pay.google.com just throws error 403(forbidden). Without VPN I can do both but then in F1TV App I can’t pay. It shows the 279TRY but says then “Google Play Purchases are not supported in your country”.
sounds like some of you didn’t need to do step 2 and 3. But where do you get the option to fill in your cc in F1TV? After filling in my name, birth and country it goes straight to an overview of the purchase with error mentioned above when I press on “subscribe”. No chance to select payment method.
Has anyone had any success with getting the transaction through, specifically using a Visa card? All I get is a “Your transaction can’t be completed. Use a different payment instrument” error.
I’m praying upside down and sideways to every possible god right now, it can’t end like this after I’ve tried nine different VPNs to even get the offer to show up.
I am trying to purchase it through HolaVPN however for some reason when the IP is a Turkish one, it is still shows the value in euros and the price is much more €64.99
Well i currently do not have a computer and i already paid for the subscription for the year for 79.98€ which is still lower than what my Finnish account should have gotten (110€)
But I will definitely try and remember this trick for the next year.
I followed steps (using my surfshark vpn), didn’t set up payment in play store but added credit card (non turkish) in f1tv app when purchasing. When confirming it gave me error that transaction cannot be done numerous of times. I was just confirming payment getting error and then just suddenly it went through and now I have it for 17,55€.
During my tries I also disconnected my vpn (bluestacks still has my mock location set to turkey) and at the end when it went through I was disconnected.
For those that are getting “Your transaction can’t be completed. Use a different payment instrument” error
If you have access to multiple credit cards. Use one with the Turkey address and during payment add another payment method with the correct address it’s registered to. Payment will go through on the other payment method with Turkish Lira.
Has anyone done it lately? I’ve tried but it does not give me a discount. It says 592 TRY. I tried deleting and installing multiple times but nothing, not even the 20% someone got.
Can confirm that this still works. Currently £26 (591.99 TRY) for the year using a VPN to Turkey with a Visa card.
It’s mandatory to create and add a new Google account on an Android phone. You don’t need to delete your main account or delete any cache. Just make a new account (Settings>Passwords and Accounts>Add Account), go to Play Store and switch to your new account by going to the menu in the top right (profile picture) then adding your payment details there.
Following the rest of the steps and it should work
