Spotify Premium (Monthly): Student ~NZ$0.95, Individual ₺29.99 (~NZ$1.90), Family ₺49.99 (~NZ$3.16) @ Spotify (VPN Required)

First off, this is a new method of getting Spotify premium (rather lots of other subscriptions) via Turkey I spotted on Ozbargain. All credit to I Smell Pennies. I have copied most of from there. I did get the Turkey master card and can confirm it will work. Currency conversion might be different for others, I have used wise to get the current rate.

I believe few of the old methods mentioned here might still be working.

Updates

01-Nov-2023

Please note that Oldubil now no longer accepts payments (transfer) from overseas bank accounts to it's own facilities. This makes paying for (and obtaining) streaming services in Turkiye much harder than before, and as such this deal is set as expired as the methods outlined are no longer valid

Instructions for getting Turkey-based Virtual Mastercard

Please read the following instructions carefully.

Part 1 - Obtaining a Turkey Virtual Mastercard (extremely easy)

1. Download the OlduBil app on the App Store (iOS) or Play Store (Android).

2. Open the app and log in or create an account (if you don't have it already). Use your real details (name, Australian mobile number etc). This should be a very easy process…

3. On the home page of the app, look at the bottom tabs, tap "Deposit Money", then "Deposit via Bank Transfer / ETF". You'll be presented a page with your 16-digit Virtual Turkey Mastercard Number. Write down this number (by the way, you can find your full Virtual Mastercard details on the "My Wallet" tab on the Home Page of the app). On the same page, at the bottom, select the bank "Aktifbank" in the dropdown and write down it's IBAN number (TR followed by 24 numbers). I strongly suggest choosing the bank "Aktifbank" as I've personally chose this one and the transfer works a charm - and I have all the info right below so just write that down :)

   Aktifbank details:

   • Company Name: TURK ELEKTRONIK PARA A.S.
   • Aktifbank IBAN: TR97 0014 3000 0000 0003 0484 87
   • Aktifbank BIC: CAYTTRIS (you'll only need this if topping up via Revolut)

   Recipient Address for Aktifbank (you'll only need this if topping up via Revolut)

   • Street and number: Hafta Sk. No 9
   • Zip code: 06700
   • Town/City: Ankara

4. Part 1 is now complete.

Part 2 - Topping up your OlduBil Virtual Turkish Mastercard with Wise (App or Web)

OlduBil fee: 6.25% of transfer

1. Log in or create an account on Wise. You can use the Wise website, or the Wise app on the App Store (iOS) or Play Store (Android).

2. Top up New Zealand Dollars (NZD) into your Wise account.

3. Convert your New Zealand Dollars (NZD) to Turkish Lira (TRY). Total Turkish Lira should be the amount you need to the type of spotify premium plan + ₺24.34 TL (Wise charges, see 4). This conversion should be instant. To do this, click onto "New Zealand", then "Convert", then select NZD → TRY and type in the amount you wish to convert and press "continue" then "convert".

4. Send your newly converted Turkish Lira to your OlduBil Virtual Turkish Mastercard. To do this, click onto "Turkish Lira", then "Send", then select "Same currency". Enter the amount of Turkish Lira you wish to transfer (Note: Wise charges a ₺24.34 TL flat fee for a single transfer, so this fee will be added onto the amount you enter). Click "continue", then "New contact", then "Someone else". On this page, leave the "their email" box empty, and tick "I know their bank details". For the "Full name of the account holder" field, type in "TURK ELEKTRONIK PARA A.S." and for the "IBAN" field, type in the IBAN you wrote down in Part 1 Step 3 (IBAN: TR97 0014 3000 0000 0003 0484 87). Continue and in the "Review transfer details" section (see screenshot), double check everything is correct and then for the "Reference for TURK" field, you must type in your OlduBil Virtual Turkish Mastercard number (without spaces). Tick the confirmation box and then "Confirm and send". This transfer will only be initiated during normal Turkey business hours and takes around 10 minutes on Wise's end. My transfer took 2 hours to land into my OlduBil account.

   Note: Make sure you only transfer the amount you actually need to pay for your subscription (add a few dollars extra in case due to currency fluctuations) because due to regulations, OlduBil does not allow withdrawals unless you originally signed up with a Turkey phone number.
