My Question or Issue

Is Spotify deliberately blocking me from subscribing to student plans? This is a dark pattern I noticed. I'm a verified student, and inspite of that, I'm unable to subscribe to student plans. I gave up trying and chose the individual plan using the SAME CARD. The payment immediately went through. Is this your latest tactic to extract money from students? Shame on you, Spotify.

Hi there @Fedupwithdarkpattern,

Thanks for reaching out and welcome to the Spotify Community!

It seems like you didn't go through the whole process of activating the student discount. Once verified through SheerID, you should have received a confirmation email with a link to redeem the discount on your Spotify account. If you can't find it, you may need to check your spam folder as sometimes emails can end up there.

One thing to keep in mind is that you can’t pay for Premium Student by mobile billing or another company (e.g. your phone or internet provider). If your current Premium Individual subscription is handled by a third-party company, then you would need to cancel it, wait until your account reverts to the free service and re-sign up with an eligible payment method here.

Hope this helps.

I'm verified as a student and asked to choose the plan.

Hi, I have successfully verified my Student Premium status, but I’m experiencing issues subscribing. My Spotify account is still on the free plan, and when I try to make the purchase, nothing happens. I’ve attempted this more than five times. Please advise on how to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Thank you.
