Currently travelling in the Philippines, the EUR/PHP exchange rate has been fluctuating quite a bit.
Consequently I’d like to “lock in” a rate by exchanging euros to pesos in advance, but I can’t seem to be able to do that in the app!? It seems only trivial since Revolut supports payments in PHP.
Actually it’s less about holding a balance in PHP and more about selling PHP. If Revolut let you hold a balance in PHP, then they would arguably also need to allow you to sell that balance for another currency, and this is where regulations get in the way.
I wish that PHP was supported, as it’s the currency of the cheapest country for Spotify - PHP 194 per month for a family subscription.
That is super clever, I feel real dumb for not thinking about trying to do that.
Isn’t it still possible to get Spotify in PHP with forex exchange each time a payment comes up?
Nope, it actually is not that easy. The following error message pops up:
Your payment method and country don’t match. To continue, change your account’s location or use a different payment method.
Ah I’m really off the ball today; we were talking about Netflix in another thread! Haha
No, for Spotify closest you’ll be able to do is changing IP and then making a local PayPal account and then linking that to your card (presuming PayPal is even in the PH and a supported method)
