Spotify wants me to have a card from said county. I read that you can use PayPal, but they want a phone number from that country.
Any advice?
Edit: I’m aware that there are a lot of solutions to get it for free. I’m aware that I can just download my music.
Currently, I’m running running navidrome for my downloaded music and x manager Spotify for myself.
My wife has an iPhone. I don’t want to download her music. But she’s paying full price for Spotify.
I also like to listen from my work desktop. I have administrative rights, but it would be really dumb to download something like this to my work machine.
In several countries, I can get Spotify for like $30 dollars a year for 2 people. This price would be worth moving to legal. Especially for her, since she’s paying $11 right now
What do you want to know? That you can use a VPN to fake your location to get a different price for a subscription? Or which county is currently the best (India has decent prices)? How to get the gift cards that you redeem in the account (Amazon, eneba, …)?
How to get the gift cards in rupees?

Is a gift card the way to do it?
I thought I’d be doing a subscription.
So how do I get the gift cards?
I think Spotify blocks the usage of foreign credit cards (ie, non-Indian Credit cards). A way to circumvent this is by using gift cards. You can buy them from Amazon using the same credentials as your local Amazon account. Then it’s easiest to gift them to yourself, eg, this: https://www.amazon.in/Spotify-Premium-Standard-3Month-Card/dp/B09Z6ZDKZ6
There is a limit on how many vouchers you can redeem per day (I think it’s four per 24 hours) but just redeem the remaining cards the next day.
To redeem the gift cards in your account you’ll have to login using an Indian VPN and then change your location. Once your location is changed, deactivate the VPN again. Then redeem the vouchers (6 3-months vouchers would give you 12 months of duo and 10 months of family). After reaching the daily limit wait 24 hours and redeem the remaining vouchers.
Once all vouchers are redeemed you can switch back to your location.
You’re the best. Only one to actually answer my question.
I’ll be doing this tonight. Thank you so much
