Offer terms:
Eligibility and Enrollment Enrollment is limited. Eligible Card Members must first add offer to Card and then use same Card for qualifying spend. Only US-issued American Express® Cards are eligible. Limit of 2 statement credits (total of $14 back) per eligible Card Member. If the Card Account is canceled or past due, it may not qualify to receive the statement credits. Qualifying Purchases Offer valid only on YouTube Premium subscription purchases made online at US website youtube.com/premium or through the YouTube app. Excludes all other YouTube and Google products and services. If you receive a free trial, charges may not post to your account until the trial has lapsed. Charges must post to your account before 7/31/2025 in order to qualify. Please note if you purchase a subscription, unless you notify the merchant that you want to pause, cancel, or that you do not want to auto renew, your subscription will automatically renew for another subscription period (subject to applicable law) of equal length (for example monthly, or annually). This means that the merchant will collect the then-applicable subscription fee and any taxes by charging a credit card the merchant has on record for you without notifying you, unless notification is required by applicable law. American Express identifies qualifying transactions based on information provided by the participating merchant. Offer valid only on purchases made in US dollars. Offer only valid on purchases made directly with the merchant. Offer not valid on purchases made using third parties, such as resellers, delivery services, or other intermediaries. Statement Credit Please allow 90-days after 7/31/2025 for the statement credit(s) to be posted to the Account, provided that American Express receives information from the merchant about your qualifying purchase. Participation in Amex Offers is subject to Amex Offers Program Terms.

YT premium is sticky, once you're into it, you're into it...super hard to get out.
I've tried once and it was a mutiny at home.
And to top it, YT keeps increasing the cost.

If not for the Nigeria trick, I'd be holding grudge against the YT. LOL
Sure, it's not a secret so a PM isn't necessary.

YTP is cheapest in Nigeria, some people are able to subscribe to YTP that way for a fraction of the usual price (like about two bucks for the family plan, which five people can share.)
There are posts online with step by step how to. No point me repeating those here, since there is a lots of valuable information in the comments section of those posts.

Having said that, this is a slippery slope, after YT, people do their NF, G1 and all that this way...
Then there is streamwithvpn, nord and the list goes on.

It's a bit of management hassle, but works for people who feel excited about such adventures. LOL
VPN, claim you are in that country, buy there, use elsewhere, very old trick that works for many things
I just use brave or revanced, $0 cost

I might need to do the Nigeria thing because now they charge 18.99 for individual becuase now they have premium light which is 10.99 which wouldn't qualify for the AMEX deal, plus it doesn't block all the ads. what a freaking scam YouTube got going on!!

Nigeria? Care to explain (via pm works)
I have not heard of this trick with respect to YTP but I know of many services that are cheaper if you spoof your location to another country

Turkey is cheap one for many things
But personally use Smarttube Next which is free

Wish they had a YTV offer

How to use Brave to do this? Do you pay for Brave VPN? I have Nord. I tried to do it with D+ using Location Guard add on in FF and Nord but did not work

It was nice to have. Now I mainly just watch YouTube on my PC using an ad blocker and just avoid watching it on my tv.
Glad you were able to recover from YTP on TV. In our household, we couldn't.

Quote from EdMcK515 :
They did crack down on this.
There are remedies. Big Grin

The last time this promo happened, I spent hours trying to figure out how to get this charge to come from YouTube directly (as that's the only way the reimbursement would trigger) but couldn't as the charges get billed by Google. You need a Google acct to have YouTube premium and when logged in directly to YouTube under billing, I couldn't get my CC charged by YouTube... it always got charged by Google. Therefore, no reimbursement.

Thank you. Good to know. In a similar vein I bought something from Kitchenaid and it was billed from Whirlpool since Whirlpool owns Kitchenaid. Thought I would not get cash back from American Express but customer service assured me that I would and I did. Would contact American Express.

There's a much easier to get YTP without have to go all the way to Nigeria and end up with your details being stolen, end up on a list, and getting banned by Google one day. Make your way over to Reddit to find out how.
If it's not the VPN trick (searched Reddit and links are all for VPN trick), can you PM me? Wondering if I can get it to work with my account that's already used with US payments in the past. Thanks

Too bad it doesn't work on TVs... the most common use case for many people.
No but if you have a Fire or Shield, you can use Smart Tube. Which is superior. If you change the front end you now have a youtube machine that doesn't get ads.

Never use your TV wifi if you care about privacy. Use a standalone device instead. Some manufactures make more money selling your data then selling TVs. And by Some I mean Most.

What's the trick if it's not VPN? They cracked down on the VPN location change trick.
