    I can confirm that both me and corkgirl17 have been scammed by the same person "the whole year inn".
    Both of us have been removed from the family subscription and have confirmed this with spotify. They have also said the slots are full on that family group also so just kicking people off and charging again obviously.
    I have found boards so friendly and honest and this is the first time i have come across this. So frustrating but there will always be an a$$hole

    Member since 2002 and over 5,000 posts, only the fact that user is a City fan might have gave it away. Just unlucky.
    Looking at post history he seems to have setup 2 groups, 1 for a "friend".

    Just to update that this issue has finally been resolved despite multiple unanswered emails and messages through boards.
    Both myself and corkgirl17 are back on the family.
    Putting it down to lack of response which has been resolved.

    I am editing my posts to remove name to be fair. if others that quote could do the same please?

    Could or should we make a list of trusted heads of families?
    Im running my second year of family and only through lack of speed in his contact had to replace 1 member this year.
    (sorry Bonkers i recommend you for the next available space)
    This should be a trust thing and can only ever work this way.
    Anyone starting a family must be committed to following the payments through per month or even pay all up front
    i do mine by dd every month.

    I have no idea btw how a list could be organized, just a idea.

    No problems Mech1, I've been taken in by a new family. They treat me well and keep me in playlists.

    Well since the family was already full, it means someone else has been kicked out instead? Hopefully not a boards member

    99c?

    I was offered it for €9.99.

    You just unsubscribe before the 3 months are up. Should work with Alexa as it will still be a premium account, even after unsubscribing

    I got this deal just before Xmas, works fine with alexa. You can cancel anytime and you still have premium until 3 months is up.

    I might have 1 free spot for someone. Current family deal is up on 2nd June and one of the members hasn't replied to a couple of messages I've sent about renewing (even though he's online every day). If he doesn't get back to me by June 1st, the first person to reply here is welcome to his spot.

    sorry folks forgot to add thanks to all those that helped and replied, yes theres 3 mo deal going for 99c atm, anyone looking to test out waters think its amazing deal and 3 months is more then enough to make up mind, but in comparison to amazon its very similar service and choices, well radio seems plus for spotify but then again its matter of opinion if you use it at all.

    id agree from using both on trial amazon seemed to have better choices, spotify playlists seem to have a lot of random stuff thrown in together, both services are good thou, but didnt tried to pair spotify to alexa yet.
