* How to get access?

Follow the onscreen steps. In the mobile number section use your NewZealand mobile number (Very important to use a valid number or risk losing your ID). Choose country as Turkey.

  • Go to Settings on your iPhone/iPad > Your Name > Media and Purchases > Log out from your current ID and login with your Turkish Apple ID

  • Buy TL iTunes gift cards (Make sure you only buy Turkish ones, only comes in 25 TRY and 50 TRY denominations) from TurGame > Choose currency as TL/TRY and pay with international transaction fee free card.

  • Redeem iTunes gift cards by going to App Store > Account (located at right top corner) > Redeem gift cards or code.

    Does a Tinder subscription help much in anyone’s experience?

    Or plenty of fish (if anyone in NZ uses that)?

  • Apple Music?

    • +1

      It's 19,99 TRY for Individual, 29,99 for Family and 9,99 for Student. Converted around 1.80 NZD, 2.70 or 0.90 per month.

  • With Disney plus can you sign into existing expired account or do you need to create a new one?

  • +1

    For those of you that are new to this, here are some of the Türkiye deals already posted on Cheapies (click the TRY₺ tag near the report section):

    • i am going somewhere where internet is dodgy and expensive. They love certain shows where is the best place I can download shows and save it locally to play later . how would you do it ?
      TIA

      • What show(s)? Depends on where it's available / what platform they're on. On browser, torrent, certain subscription service etc.

      • Sail the high seas for the shows and then load them into vlc player on tablet or phone. Vlc can cast them to chromecast on tv

  • Do you have to be logged in “Media and Purchases” to keep the subscription, or can you log out after the initial purchase?

  • Anyone using Turgame accidently purchase the Turkish credit with euros??? did it work? mines still processing and not emails with codes yet and its been 2 hours

    Fyi, there was a banner at the top of the page blocking the currency tab. I didnt see till it was too late

    • They can take a while to send through due to timezone differences, I don't think it's automated from my experience.

      • they eventually came thru. Only got enough turkish credit for 1 month just to test the waters

  • Is there a way to get Turkish Spotify? I see family plan with 6 accounts is 34,99TL which is like $3.40. Surely you can use a similar method above to make it work?

  • Just used this process to sign up for Disney + on my iphone, as above creating a turkish apple id and then loading it with itune gift cards to value of 35O TL Used MTCgame to buy these. Can then sign up to Turkish Disney + and apple account gets charged in Turkish Lira . Can then log out and back in again with my Nz apple id and Disney + works fine, no VPN needed at all for this !!

    • i am going somewhere where internet is dodgy and expensive. They love certain shows where is the best place I can download shows and save it locally to play later . how would you do it ?

    • Can i ask what card you used to buy your TL itunes giftcards?

      • Used my Kiwibank airpoints platinum Visa card .

  • Okay cn someone explain this to me that my original NZ Apple I'd is my student ID and is linked to my Apple music.

    I made a new ID with this method & topped up with Turkish GC but I cannot use it as "Media & Purchases" on my iphone without loosing access to my paid apple music?

    • Apple Music would be associated to the Apple ID logged in on "Media & Purchases", so you'll need to log back in to your NZ Apple ID to restore access to your 'paid' Apple Music.

      Otherwise, you could end your music subscription on the NZ account and switch it to the TR account.

  • Trying to get TRY GC from TurGame. However, it's requiring a TR phone number to complete the order. Anyone been able work around this?

    Thanks.

    • Ahh figured it out. Used local number and GPAY.

      Thanks to the OP and OOP! :)

  • Just signed up to NBA League Pass for ₺329.99 (Turkey). Roughly $32 NZD. I'll know next week if I'm successful. Have to first get through the free 1-week trial.

    Go da Warriors.

    • Im also trying the Headspace app but it comes with a 2 week trial. I haven't loaded my TL GC yet but when I try to subscribe to the annual plan with 2 week trial, it's asking for me to load an actual card. I appreciate yours is a different app but did it not ask for you to load your card details with your iTunes TL GC already loaded?

    • Hi @Wakrak. Sorry but I was really hoping to hear from you. Just commenting again so this sends out a notification your way. :)

      • Gday. Not sure how I can help you. I've never purchased iTunes or TurGame gift cards before.

        • Oh how did you get around paying your NBA pass at a cheaper rate if I can ask? I see you were able to sign up based on Turkey Lira pricing.

  • What happens if I don't use an "international transaction fee free card" to pay for the iTunes GC? I only have NZ based cards. :(

  • Just posting an update that this is still working as of today.

  • A bit confused why I'm getting the option of TRY439.99/month for
    "LinkedIn Monthly Subscription - Premium Career ₺189.99 $14.93 $39.99 $25.06 62.67%"

  • So, did someone figure out how to make Tinder Gold cheaper for Android devices? Or still no options?

  • Turkish iCloud 2tb plan has increased by 100% from 64.99 to 129.00 Lira.

  • Just posting an update that this is still working as of today. Higher value cards now available (used to be only 25 and 50 TRY). And payments are back TRY (used to be charged EUR).

  • Any one still doing this? I am seeing if it's worth trying this year or not.

  • I tried recently worked. Anyone wanting a Disney+ sub or any other that can be purchased using balance? I have a turkish apple id with 1350 TRY balance that I don't need, just want to recover what I paid for it.
