    I had Spotify Premium before but I cancelled it due to lack of use.
    Today I got an email asking me to come back and it gave me 1 free month of Premium.
    I already tried giving the link to my friend and it worked.
    Simply Click here
    Enter in Card/PayPal Information. (You can cancel straight away)
    Then Enjoy Premium for 1 month!

    Hope you all enjoy this and share it with others!
    Have a very Spotify-Filled Christmas! :P

    Asking me for €9.99:mad::mad:

    It appears that you've already been a premium user and this trial is only valid for new users. If you'd like you can still upgrade your account to premium at any time

    Odd, it's definitely not valid for new users only because I myself was a previous user, as was my friend.
    Did you try sign out then sign in when it says the free trial?

    Thanks OP! This worked for me. I used to be a Spotify premium subscriber but cancelled it. Your link just got me another a free 30 days. Must remember to cancel it before they charge me :)

    Cancel now if you want, your Spotify will just return to the regular free version when the 30 days end.

    Maybe because I am logged in with spotify app on my mac.

    Stupid question - As someone who only discovered spotify about 20 seconds ago (off the back of having seen this thread) and who is already enjoying some decent quality full length tracks.. what's the upside to having a premium account? (I was expecting a load of advertisement bubbles trying to sell it to me as soon as i logged in, but i cant see any mention of it?!)

    I can see mention of creating a playlist.. is that it? Is that what you pay for (or don't pay for, in this bargain alerts case)? The ability to create a playlist?

    Cheers :)

    As far as I'm aware, I might be wrong though but dont they give you a free trial when you sign up?
    Anyway, the differences are
    No ads.
    The ability to listen on other devices, phones, tablets etc.
    Hope this helps!

    That does help a lot, Cheers Alan.

    although, owing to my own laziness/stupidity, I could have seen the differences are actually laid out if you scroll down a fair bit on the sign up page (didnt realise you could scroll at all).



    Free

    Your music is free and instant.

    - Completely free
    - Listen on your desktop & laptop
    - Millions of songs — just hit play
    - Made possible by ads



    Unlimited

    Unlimited, uninterrupted music.

    - €4.99 per month
    - Listen on your desktop & laptop
    - Millions of songs — just hit play
    - No ads & no commitment



    Premium

    Your music is everywhere.

    - €9.99 per month
    - Listen on all your devices
    - Download music & listen offline
    - No ads & no commitment




    So the ability to download seems to be the big seller. I'll take the free trial and go from there. Looks promising so far.. Lets see if they have any Finger Eleven. Will be the deciding factor for me...


    EDIT: They do indeed! Even have Slow Chemical. I'm shocked. A bigger selection of WWE stuff and it'd be fantabulous. Pity they don't give a discount for buying 12 months in a go. :(

    Thats strange, not sure what you can try there. Perhaps try a different account? Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

    Mine was 9.99 yesterday, but is 0 today.
    Must be because I had cancelled in early Nov...

    One big difference that isn't mentioned there is that on Free and Unlimited the bitrate of the files is 160 kbps and with Premium it's 320 kbps.

    Thank you for this. Got a free month. Happy days!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,084 ✭✭✭n1ck


    With a trial account you only get 10 hours worth of listening time, at least that's what happened my last free account. :P

    You get it unlimited for 6 months before it switches to 10 hours per month or 2.5hrs per week.
    Hope the link works for you! :)

    Brilliant stuff OP - Let my subscription run out 2 weeks back and was going to renew it again this week as I decided I couldn't live without it, so perfect timing really.

    Got the message that some are complaining about yesterday but no such problem today so happy days I guess.
