Trainers in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Australia, and Singapore can claim the fifth anniversary birthday present following the steps we have outlined below:

Steps to claim YouTube Premium Pokemon Go Fest reward

Step 1: Users need to first go to the designated YouTube Premium promotional website which can be found here.
Step 2: Log in to your Google account. If you do not have one, register.
Step 3: Once you are logged in, click the “Get YouTube Premium” blue button which will then apply the service to your account.
Step 4: Make sure to immediately cancel the recurring subscription so that when Premium runs out in three months, you are not charged.

Pokemon Go players can unlock YouTube Premium on this page.

Unfortunately, those who have paid for Premium in the past or who have participated in free trials previously cannot claim the Pokemon Go reward. An easy way around this though is simply creating a new Google account and applying the free three months’ worth of service to it.
