Premium lets you play any song, anytime. You can even listen when you’re offline. No restrictions. No ads.

CC or PayPal required on signup, so remember to cancel before trial ends to avoid ongoing fees. Offer ends July 5, 2015. Enjoy :)

Spotify® 60-Days Free Trial Offer Terms & Conditions apply. Users who have subscribed to the Premium or Unlimited service or who have taken a trial are ineligible for this offer.

Warning: Some users have reported they are being quoted $14.99/month instead of $12/month (for those planning on keeping the service after the trial), see comment thread & updates here.

    Signed up for this earlier, you can also use PayPal (and just cancel it after) :D

    Does it still require a facebook account? Also can you carrier bill Spotify subscriptions using Telstra prepaid credit?

      No it doesn't, you can just use an Email. Cannot answer second Q

      • Meconium on 07/06/2015 - 10:17

        As for the second question, I doubt it! What else can you buy using prepaid credit that isn't just internal Telstra stuff (like more credit etc)? Genuine question!

        • Perch on 07/06/2015 - 10:42

          You can spend it on the Google Play store. Use the Play store app on your phone and select it as the payment method at checkout.

        • Meconium on 07/06/2015 - 12:11

          @Perch: What a strange economy. The phone credit you use is actually bonus credit, while you still get some "real" credit with the transaction. This credit can't be refunded though, and is used at a faster rate than the bonus credit, but it can be exchanged for some other "real" goods, namely apps - the distribution of which comes at a negligible cost for the supplier of these goods. But other people actually buy these goods with real money, validating the transaction. Strange!

          Can you use it anywhere else besides Google Play?

        I remember trying another Spotify promo but was told that I wasn't eligible because I've tried their free trial before. I use Facebook for Spotify account and this time it works, only different thing I did was redeeming it using using their mobile website

    Current premium member of spotify (gained free membership through vodafone for 12 months) i personally love it! will definetly pay for the service once my free membership runs out. $12 a month is a small fee for large selection of music and great GUI.

    • Devils Advocate on 07/06/2015 - 01:12

      Isn't it $15/month?

        I am a free user and I'm seeing $14.99 per month after the trial finishes. I thought it was $11.99? It shows $11.99 on the main page but I clicked on it and it says $14.99.

        • Kozhutki on 07/06/2015 - 03:07

          It's definitely $12 AU per month, not sure where your $15 figure is coming from.

        • Devils Advocate on 07/06/2015 - 08:21

          Yeah I see the same thing ivanthepodder. Maybe that's the month on month price, but it's $11.99 if signing up for a year?

          I'm seeing the same thing too. Mentioned $14.99 on the confirmation and also in my subscription details. I've emailed support to ask why there is a difference from the advertised $11.99

        • feisca on 07/06/2015 - 09:29

          I currently pay $12/month for Spotify Premium. Didn't get notification about any changes to the sub.

        • JayM on 07/06/2015 - 10:54

          @Tihocan:

          I'm thinking they may be doing the dodgy on these "free" accounts and charging $15 only if you sign up using it. Logout and then check the main page for the price. Send email asking why it's different if it is.

          It may be a price increase for everyone in 2 months?

          I pay $12AU per month too. Still deciding whether to have Spotify or Netflix.

        • da_lot on 07/06/2015 - 11:00

          Likewise.

          I used to have it for $11.99 as premium.
          Front page of the deal says 11.99 per month "Try Premium free for 60 days.* Only $11.99/month afterwards."
          Just registered this deal with my wife's account "Price $14.99 including tax per month after trial."

          Weird.

          @Devils Advocate: How incredibly bizarre! I'm a month to month subscriber and definitely pay $11.99/m.. Unless the prices have gone up and they've grandfathered previous subscribers, perhaps its a typo?

          @jackary:

          I wonder if they're increasing the fees due to the AUS$ not being as high as when they started the $11.99 plan. If they have to pay the rights holders in US$ then this could be the reason why.

          @CheapRichGuy:

          It must be an error. When not logged in on this page: https://www.spotify.com/au/premium/
          It states "Try Premium free for 60 days.* Only $11.99/month afterwards. Offer ends July 5, 2015." Surely it's not legal to get people to sign up advertising a lesser amount than you're going to charge prople?

        • fredblogs on 07/06/2015 - 21:26

          Same - signed up and it says "$14.99 including tax per month after trial."

          @Tihocan:

          That's very interesting. Did you purchase premium through the Apple store? I've read that Apple charges $14.99 for premium because of their 30%~ take. Here's my year receipt of Spotify just for confirmation.

        • Kozhutki on 07/06/2015 - 22:26

          @Devils Advocate: I'm month to month and I'm only paying $11.99 AU. This is odd.

          Signed up through the Spotify website, no VPN. I got a response overnight from Spotify Support, which suggests it may be an error…

          Many thanks for getting in touch! Sorry to hear there's been some confusion about the Spotify Premium that you just acquired. Please allow us to make this right.

          Can you please send a screenshot of the email or website where it is saying that you'll be charged $14.99 instead of $11.99? That way we'll be able to take a better look at this!

          We hope to hear back from you soon! Do not hesitate to write us back if you have any other questions!

          I've sent them the screenshots showing the $14.99

          Thank you for sending those screenshots over. They're really helpful.

          +1

          Another update from support via email:

          Thanks for your patience! I'm sorry to see you're having a few problems with your payment!

          To confirm, the price for Premium subscription will be $11.99 after the trial has expired. If you're registered for an iTunes payment then you will be charged $14.99. The message that you're seeing displayed is an error, but rest assured you will be charged $11.99 once the trial has expired.

          Not overly convinced that the correct amount will be charged at the end of the trial, so unless the price updates I'll be cancelling and only resub once the price is correct. I'll probably give the Apple a trial too just to see which offers the best value for money before committing too.

        • hh10k on 11/06/2015 - 19:58

          It used to show $14.99/month for me, but I just checked back and it's now $11.99 as advertised on the front page. Looks like they fixed it.

    Details on how to cancel after the trial period expires here

    Key part:
    …our payment to Spotify will automatically renew at the end of the subscription period, unless you cancel your Paid Subscription through your subscription page before the end of the current subscription period. The cancellation will take effect the day after the last day of the current subscription period, and you will be downgraded to the Free Service. However, if you cancel your payment and/or terminate the Terms after the Cooling-off Period is over (where applicable), and/or before the end of the subscription period, we will not refund any subscription fees already paid to us.

    Has Spotify upgraded their entire catalog to 320kbps yet?

    I know it is technically 'dead' but MOG (Bought out by Beats Music last year) their entire calatog is 320k. Also, if you are on Telstra you can stream over 3G 4G without it counting against your data.

    I'm still waiting for a formal announcement regarding the transition to Beats but FWIW, MOG is still kicking along just fine. Something to consider if you are on Telstra.

    • PVA on 07/06/2015 - 19:45

      apart from the mog software being terrible.

      • kfuerza on 07/06/2015 - 20:36

        Cant say I agree with that.
        Been using it for 3 years across 3 devices. Iphone 4s, 5s and iPad 2.

        It does what its supposed to do. Cants say the same for the web interface but I've never tried that nor the Android version.

        Again the main focus for me is 20 million songs all at 320k and streaming that doesn't count against my data allowance.

        I use it cuz it plays music….not cuz its purty (which…IMHO I found the interface to be better than others but I haven't tries Spotify for 3 years…)

        • PVA on 07/06/2015 - 21:33

          i have only tried the half baked android version.
          when I tried it it didnt even have a lock screen widget that every other music player has.
          data allowance doesn't worry me, i loved the Sony Music Unlimited but that has folded, software was great and worked well throughout apps (and had offline, 320 etc ) and music choice was fantastic, even had my nephews tiny music group that he was involved in, anything I searched for it was there, even BBC comedy shows like Steptoe and Son. Spotify on the other hand is a lot worse but thats what Sony is pushing now.

  • plentifoo on 07/06/2015 - 16:34

    difficult to ween myself off after the first free month, I must admit, but then I realise the spotify free service on 7" screen devices or larger are still comparable to premium apart from the HQ audio (can't hear the difference if played through the actual device or bluetooth speaker anyways) and ads, I can still select specific song titles, not just the entire playlist or album. As for having a truly portable music solution goes, I usually have a small playlist of my absolute favourite tunes that I have on loop anyway - so spotify is great for creating a consistent musical ambience and discovering new songs.
