My 1000th deal

We usually dont see much spotify deals on ozbargain so i thought this would be worth mentioning. This would probably be one of the best deals ever by spotify ive seen for a while. Basically pay $0.99 upfront and get 3 month free of spotify premium. Great to kick start you summer mood with ad free unlimited music
* Requires US VPN and Favorite Las Vegas Hotel Address to sign up

Also Audible have a promo running of 3 months gold membership for $0.99 per month for new customers. Well worth the free audio-books than you can get and keep from the membership. Promo code 981209379088

Disclaimer: Remember to cancel before the end of the trial so you dont get charged full price for 4th month. Best to put a reminder on your DSE pebble watch

MOD: To get 3 months of Spotify premium subscription for USD $0.99 you need

  1. New Spotify account that has not used premium trial before
  2. US address for both Spotify signup & PayPal
  3. US VPN endpoint
  4. Promo code "981209379088"

Thus "Not Available in Australia", if fake US address is required. However Audible deal has no such requirement.

    Might be worth noting that this only works for accounts that don't already have premium. I've already got premium and it just took me to the generic AU$11.99 page. Also, it's normally AU$11.99 (it's US$9.99 in the states).

    Edit: Congrats on 1000!

    Edit - I entered an US zipcode, it then said looks like you are using a Australasia issued credit card, would you like to switch to Australia, I then clicked yes, and completed the subscription for a 30-day premium free trial period.

    But cant redeem the code! it does not work.

          @Goldberg:
          Sign up for a US virtual credit card at Entropay.com - preload it with as much or little credit as you like (say $5) - and use that. Takes 5 mins - easy peasy.
          Its what I use for US NetFlix/Hulu.

          Edit: if it requests a post code/suburb I suggest googling one in Oregon - no sales tax.

        • systmworks on 04/12/2014 - 23:04

          @The Quote Train: No use your real name and other details with EntroPay, and I think the virtual credit card is supposed to be in the same name as the real card you use to fund it.

          I use my real name on NetFlix/Hulu as well - only with the real/legal but virtual credit card from EntroPay, and a real (but not mine) post code/city/suburb.

    It seems like the offer not valid in Australia… This offer only valid when you have US CreditCard & US Postal Code. Not a good deal i guess since Australia still offering only 30 days free trial & $11.99 afterwards.

    How do we get around this?

    I'm still liking this deal better for Spotify Premium. Spotify Premium is a great service, good to support the artists and the future of music I reckon.

    Congrats on your 1000th post, that is a pretty incredible feat! :)

    • PonyTable on 05/12/2014 - 09:10

      What cut do you think artists get from the .99c contribution people will make for 3 months, agreed its a better amount than the pirate bay, but I doubt it pays the bills or supports the future of music.

      • ShamelessBargains on 05/12/2014 - 10:22

        I use Spotify (free version) to try out new music and then if I like the song or album, I am inclined to buy it on iTunes and further support the artist. Some artists like Taylor Swift pocket millions from Spotify royalties and with the continued growth of music streaming, I hope it will let the smaller artists pay their bills and continue to make fantastic music!

      • neil aus on 07/12/2014 - 10:40
        +1

        The artists do not get anything directly, as the greedy music labels have sold their music as part of a catalogue, the artists get a very small amount from even old CD sales anyway. The best way to support an artist is at their concerts.

  • grab_ur_freebies on 04/12/2014 - 21:00

    Unfortunately, a VPN and US address won't be enough to let you through. PayPal will not let you add a foreign address to your Australian card. PayPal will require you to go through security measures to even login while you are going through a VPN. Using a virtual card service like EntroPay requires fees. EntroPay has a minimum of $5, meaning you'll have about $4 left over that either goes to waste, or you have to find something to buy worth exactly that amount- no more, no less. Using EntroPay means this deal will actually cost you $6.45 AUD/$5.25 USD, not just $1.24 AUD/$0.99 USD. EntroPay registers its cards in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea- which Spotify is aware is not in the United States of America.

    $6.45 and an hour of your time down the drain if you want to try.

    • Wally on 05/12/2014 - 12:08

  • raspudala on 05/12/2014 - 09:27

    Once signed up, do you need to use VPN to listen music or is VPN only required to sign up?

    • bugoy8 on 05/12/2014 - 12:03

      VPn or DNS changer only to sign up. Once signed up, then you dont need it anymore

      There's more to just VPN though to sign up. You'll need a payment method that works for the States. If you're using an Aussie card, it will detect it.

  • superforever on 05/12/2014 - 11:12
