YouTube Virtual Cards Don't Work With YouTube Premium? 🤔

[Zwielicht]

So, I was trying out using a privacy.com card for a free trial of YouTube Premium since it was offered to me today.

When you go to add the card to your "Google Wallet" or whatever it's called, it does the usual $0 authorisation. No problem there.

However, when you try to get the free trial, Google tries charging the card for the full amount right away.

My guess is that this is a temporary hold until the free trial period ends, but I take this is a way to combat using this kind of method with them. After all, those of us who do SEO know that Google tends to be more privy to those methods than most.

Some merchants will perform an authorization with a small amount (for example, $1) and then refund it immediately. I'd suggest trying it again with a different card that has a small amount of funds available on it.

I noticed they check my clients' cards in GAds and some get bigger spend right away and some get lower, depends on the card

1. I signed up for a trial on a new account.
2. They gave me ban on it for circumvention policy.
3. They attempt to charge the card added to the account even though the account is banned.

They mad. They kill my $5 card. $5 down the drain!
