Claude Pro £14.90/month instead of £18 using US VPN (Max plans potentially cheaper too)

Found a way to potentially save money on Claude subscriptions using US pricing.
By connecting through a US VPN, you may be able to access the US subscription prices rather than the UK prices. The savings are particularly interesting if youre subscribed to one of the more expensive Max plans.
How to get it
Connect your VPN to a server in the USA. Oregon is preferred, but isnt necessarily required. Use Merbs VPN offer if you dont currently have VPN – Mozilla Firefox Free Built-in VPN: Unlimited Usage Until January 2027
Visit claude.ai
Log into your Claude account.
Go to Settings Billing Upgrade.
Check whether US pricing is displayed.
At the payment screen, enter the Oregon ZIP code 97201.
Complete payment using your preferred payment method.
Ive tested the payment method using Revolut on Claude Pro.

Ive tested Pro using Revolut. The Max subscriptions havent been tested, but should be worth checking.
Who can use this
This may work for new accounts and people whose previous subscriptions have expired.
I havent tested switching an existing Pro subscription directly.
One possible approach is to cancel your current subscription and wait until the end of your existing billing period. You should retain your Pro access until that date. Once it expires, you could try subscribing again using the method above.
I havent verified this with an existing subscriber, so bear that in mind before cancelling anything.
A few things to note
Oregon is preferred, but you can try other US VPN locations.
Revolut worked for my Pro payment.
The Max tiers are untested.
Exchange rates and card fees will affect the final cost.
VPN access doesnt guarantee eligibility or payment acceptance. Check Anthropics regional terms before proceeding.
It should carry over to the on each billing cycle but if in doubt, cancel subscription and manually do this method each time your account lapses.
Hope this helps someone save a bit on their Claude subscription
