There are two major meditation apps out there: Headspace and Calm.
Calm lifetime subscription normally cost $399 but there is currently a 60% off offer, which currently puts a lifetime license at $159.
However, connect to VPN in Turkey and the price shows at TRY 1,329.99 and with the current 60% off promo, it becomes TRY 531.99 which works out to be about $42 USD.

VPN to Turkey. Direct Pay using credit cards did not work for me with 4 different cards. The following steps worked for me.
1. Using Chrome,
2. Linked one credit card with no foreign transaction fees to google pay.
3. VPN to Turkey
4. Click on slickdeals post link
5. log on to Calm from a newly created Calm email
6. You should see a Google Pay option above the credit card option.
7. Use Google Pay and chose your credit card.
8. Work for me first try.
Worked on first try using desktop chrome after dicking around on iPhone for hours.
Ditto. Thanks. FML. After an hour I just switched to windows desktop, and bingo, the Google pay icon was there. It didn't like my original payment methods, so I added a new no foreign transaction fee card and it took it. I was using existing Calm login. Had no luck on iOS getting the Google Pay button to show up.
Edit: confirmed on both existing calm account that the account was now lifetime, and confirmed on credit card website I was only charged $47.15.

Finally succeeded in getting GPay to work on Chrome on Windows using FastestVPN. For anyone having trouble getting the Google Pay button to show up, make sure you're NOT using incognito. For some reason, incognito seems to prevent the Google Pay option from appearing, even if you log into your Google Account in the incognito tabs. I ended up just clearing any web data and cookies related to calm.com in Chrome settings and opening the link in a normal Chrome window, and the Google Pay option finally appeared for me.
Also GPay option seems to work this way for both existing and new accounts, not just limited to using the Continue with/Sign In with Google option.
Not sure. I have tried my iPhone and my Windows pc and no luck yet. It only gives me cc options and they fail. Oddly enough I don't think they are even trying to process the cards. I didn't get a fraud alert or anything on the cards I tried.

I've used both Calm and Headspace but found out that meditation groups work better for me. I've been using www.cafhglobal.com and they're free. It's online practice and they're very practical.
I'm still using Calm though.

Try using Google Pay or Apple Pay, that should help. Thank you OP, great deal!
these are not options for me, all I see is credit card. paypal is there when I am connecting from the US but goes away when it's turkey. how are you guys seeing these options?

I wasn't using Google incogneto, but I do have a couple ad blockers in Chrome and block third party cookies. And Google Pay would never show.
After a few tries, I finally just switched over to Edge, and that worked right away.
Just under $44 total now for a lifetime subscription. Beats all that "free" crap out there. lol
For those who want to try out, Santa Clara county library allows free calm app checkout for a month....has to be renewed every month. Maybe other libraries offer the same.
