Spotify geographical arbitrage
« on: July 01, 2020, 11:21:54 AM »
Spotify Premium launched in Israel with family subscription about 30% cheper than in the US. I'm considering signing up for an Israeli account, though I'm not sure what I would need to do. Will I need an Israeli CC, only Israeli address, use a VPN to masquerade as signing up from Israel?

Are there any other countries that seem to have this kind of arbitrage?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

VPN and Israeli cc.

Although once you're going down that route you might as well try this:

Very different route.

And not applicable to all devices.

Right.
Apple users don't bother.

I’ve already tried signing up with a Philippines account and PayPal but it kept on diverting to US when paying

I think it recognizes PayPal by the card it's connected to.

Maybe try an app called PaybyPrivacy.

It generates a virtual card number for you to pay with, it's possible that you can change the location.
