[Fido] Fido Xtra: 2 months YouTube Premium Free (new subscribers only)

Question for those who have "cancelled"...do they mean DEACTIVATE?

Also if I have multiple FIdo lines, how do I activate trial for a different (spouse) YouTube login? I don't recall it asking which YouTube account I want to have premium.

Watching Karate kid/Cobra Kai right now...so far so good as in season 2.

Was anyone able to cancel their current suscription and then able to get this trail suscription free for 2 months. Once 2 months are over, sign up again for paid suscription?

Did this last year with my Stack M/C no issues. Usually around $3.51/month

Is it just ad-free YouTube or is there anything else?

I have an adblocker so signing up for this seems pointless.

You can watch videos offline or audio only to save on data when not at home.

YouTube Premium also has some of their own content...like Cobra Kai as I mentioned.

I've been watching the AI documentary hosted by Robert Downey Jr. It's pretty entertaining

I never used YouTube Music before because I have spotify and amazon music but curious normally does it have a lot of ads? I see that this "premium" gives you premium on Youtube Music too. I heard they are stopping Google Play Music and will just have Youtube Music as their music service.

Do the ad blockers mentioned early for youtube work with YouTube music too?


I tried to see if I would be offered 3 months by going directly to YouTube Premium like another RFDer but was just offered 1 month there. I havent' bothered signing up for the 2 month trial through Fido yet.

A heads up for any Google Play users, that service is shutting down at some point this year as Google transitions to YouTube Music.

Might be a good time to make the switch.

What is the difference with youtube premium other than no ad?

I was about to take up the offer, but they wanted my credit card details. For a trial it’s a big no for me.

I'm not even going to bother clicking, let alone put a cc on file.

Adblock deals away with all ads from youtube on both PC and android. It even allows you to listen to music while your phone screen is off on android.

for those that used the India vpn trick, is there away to remove all the India recommendations ..

You are right, I have trouble cancelling it as it says there is no subs on my account but the charge appeared on my credit card. I am trying to figure it out if Fido collects the fee on behalf of google. A simple free trial cost me not only money but time as well. Stay away people.

thanks, upvoted

How did you cancel it?
I tried to cancel but the YouTube agent checked my account and said that there was no subscription to cancel so he asked me to fill out an unauthorized form to get the charge back on my credit card and I have to wait 10 days to find out the result.
Since you get 2 months free trial does it mean you are not yet a member and therefore no subscription registered on your account until you get charge on the credit card? and was that why following instruction how to cancel your paid membership was going nowhere? Please help.

Go to your settings under YouTube settings paid memberships? It'd be there. I don't think it was the google play store where I cancelled it pretty sure it was within YouTube. Check your google play store then go to subscriptions too maybe it could be there?

Is it possible you have multiple YouTube/google accounts? Maybe that's why you cant see it because you're looking at a different account

Thanks for the reply. This was my first time ever ordering from google and there was no mistake on the gmail account as the gmail account was found in the paid.google.com but the membership was not there. Thanks for your help.

Any way to get this working for anyone other then Fido users?
