Just saw this email and am very confused. Seems legit, but not sure why my membership is being cancelled. Is this real? Why would my premium be cancelled?
I have no change in payment info and it is still valid.
Mine got cancelled too. I guess they are cracking down on the cheap VPN subscriptions.
It looks like they’ve clamped down on people using VPNs to subscribe.
My YouTube premium subscription through Ukraine was cancelled. I tried to renew using the same Revolut debit card I always use, and now it asks for a card with an address in the subscribing country.
Confirmed it’s a crackdown on cheap VPN subscriptions.
Have just spoken to customer service who stated that as I “moved” to a different location from the one I signed up at (Ukraine but UK based), the service has been cancelled until I sign up with a UK card and address. From £2.30 a month to £12.99. Yikes…
Mine was cancelled as well, even though I never used a VPN to subscribe >:(
Mine was cancelled as well today, I received notification email by YT team said "we believe sign up country was inaccurate!! with link to restart the membership… also they add option for form if you believe an error occurred to claim correction with consent and some mandatory YT terms. I delete all payment methods from my profile and back to ordinary youtube.
I had a friend who told me he had the same issue so I went searching on reddit to see if anyone had the same issue. I’m sadly now just waiting anxiously for an email saying the same thing to me.
Off topic, but I fucking HATE when they call something you pay for a “benefit”
Same happened here. Message on the homepage telling me my previous country was not accurate (Turkey)
I am not a subscriber, but they are disgusting. They are still getting the money they were supposed to get in whatever country this is. They should shut up.
Has your CC expired?
Does this also affect family plans where one member is not in the country where the subscription was made but the other members still live there and their payment method is used (asking for a friend)?
Not exactly the same situation but when I lived in Brazil and had a Brazil credit card I paid for a year of premium but when renew came up they wouldn’t allow me to renew with the same card since it didn’t match the country I was in. This was a few months ago so I figured they had already started clamping down
Bruh there greedy this just means they dint care wbout the fans at all basterds
I wonder if anyone is getting theirs cancelled who only uses YouTube apps on Apple devices. So far mine is still working but I only use Apple TV and the iPhone app.
The reason I ask is when Netflix started cracking down on password sharing the only people in my extended family who used my account who got booted were people who accessed it from a browser. I never got a single pop-up or notification on Apple TV or iOS.
Use VPN to connect to countries where Google has blacklisted and therefore has no ads on YouTube.
Scroll fast up and down and you will see the black part moving too
This happened to me outta nowhere last yr, shit was so confusing?
I just hope you don’t have to restart your subscription at an increased price now
mine is still working, but I also used a turkey cc and not my own cc from germany
