I Used a VPN to Buy a Subscription for Cheap, but It Massively Backfired
1 min read
Summary
A Reddit user tried to purchase a cheaper YouTube Premium membership using a VPN set to a country with a lower cost but had issues completing the payment.
Even with the VPN, payment was blocked, an issue experienced in other purchases using the VPN.
The user was able to subscribe to YouTube Premium upon disabling the VPN and accepting the Danish price, but they believe others may not have the same success due to YouTube clamping down on VPN usage for cheaper subscriptions.
The user wonders if using a mobile bank card with a different currency could have been a solution, but since their non-Danish cards are in USD, GBP or EUR, it would not have been worth the hassle for a minimal saving.
The user concludes that using a different service or VPN may have worked, but overall it was a hit-and-miss solution.
