Note: Price quoted in title is based on current total price of the two gift cards linked here, however the price may vary depending on where you purchase it.

Step 3: Turn on your VPN and set location to Indian. Note: Many VPN providers do not have an Indian server.

Step 4: While VPN is activated, go to your 'account' here (spotify.com/eg-en/account/overview/)(spotify.com) and click 'Edit Profile', an option to set your country to 'Indian' should appear (this option is greyed out if you have still have an active premium subscription). If it does not appear, check your VPN is activated correctly. Save your changes. This will now let you redeem Indian gift card

Step 5: Click Redeem (spotify.com/eg-en/redeem/)(spotify.com) and paste your gift card codes that you previously purchased in Step 2. You will see that the confirmation message will mention '12 Months Premium' and '6 Months Premium' being redeemed. Once you have redeemed both codes, here (spotify.com/eg-en/account/subscription/receipt/)(spotify.com). If you attempt to redeem more than 18 months, you will get an error stating that you cannot redeem more than 18 months of premium in advance.

Note: Stop here if you wish to keep your account as an Individual account. If you wish to convert your 18 Months Premium to c days of Duo (don't use duo as it's more expensive than two singles) or c150 days of Family, continue to Step 6. If you stop here your account will remain an "Indian" account.

Step 6: Go to "Account Overview" (spotify.com/eg-en/account/overview/)(spotify.com) and click on "Your Plan" (spotify.com/eg-en/account/manage-your-plan/)(spotify.com). Now click "Subscribe" at the bottom. You will now see "Your Plan" with IR119 / month and the next billing date will be 18 months from now. Beneath the summary, you'll see a payment gateway show up with some Indian payment options. Look beneath them and you will see "Change country" in the footer. Click on it and select United Kingdom. You will now see £10.99 per month and the next billing date has been reduced to ~12 months from now. This is due to some sort of conversion rate between countries. Do not proceed yet.

Step 7: At the top, click "Change Plan". On the next page, click on Premium Duo or Premium Family. Confirm that the new billing date is approximately 210 days from now (for duo) or 5 months (150 days) for Family.

Step 8: Choose PayPal as the payment method and follow the prompts to finalise. Your PayPal won't be charged until the date stated in the summary.

Step 9: After confirming, your account will be United Kingdom, so choose your normal United Kingdom address for the Premium Duo/Family as you normally would, and tell your "family" members to enter the same address.
