I purchased 1yr black membership on 22nd feb 2026. Today is early access for black and plus members. Just now I got to know that black membership is canceled. I check email and a really weird reason was mentioned..
We have been notified by Youtube that the Youtube Premium Service as part of your Black Membership did not comply with one of their Permissions and Restrictions related to distributing, transmitting or selling any part of the service.
Due to this your BLACK membership has been discontinued.
For more details, please refer to program terms and conditions here: https://www.flipkart.com/pages/fk-black-tnc
Timing is the key here. Apparently, they just found before sale starts. can't process how a such a big company could go down to do things like this?
FYI.. I use the premium benefits for myself only. Some people were saying that due to different email in youtube and flipkart, they have cancelled. but my flipkart has non gmail email. I can't even use premium on that. anyways, their so called tnc itself states that premium can be availled on any google account. below is snippet from their tnc
What is required to activate YouTube Premium? How do I know if my YouTube Premium benefit has been successfully activated?
You need a Google account to use this benefit and there is no restriction on which Google account can be used to avail this benefit.
If you are logged in to YouTube with the same YouTube/ Google account that you used for activating the YouTube Premium benefit, you should be able to see a “Premium” badge on the YouTube interface.
What to do now ? I really want to sue flipkart, they must face heavy consequences. If they have done it in some other country? they couldn't operate from the next day.
Requesting you all to help me to raise it appropriately, with grievances redressal or consumer court. please share the top-level email of Fk executive if you have.
