Can't upgrade to Premium due to country/payment issues

My Question or Issue

I live and work in Lebanon, my account is also registered here, but have a German credit card. I can only upgrade to Premium with my credit card, if I change my account settings to Germany, which I don't want since it's more expensive, and I want to be using the MENA version of Spotify as I live here.
There seems to be no other payment option - or can I somehow purchase gift cards for Spotify MENA? I assume Spotify gift cards from the US wouldn't work?
I really want to use the Premium features!

Hey @miriamka ,

Thanks for reaching out.

Since you're in Lebanon, you'll need a payment method that has also been issued there.

As far as I know, Gift Cards currently aren't available in Lebanon, but there might be other prepaid payment methods available.

You can check the current available payment methods for Lebanon at https://spotify.com/premium.
