Being charged when I didn't fully sign up for premium

[asapb360]

Is there someone I can actually contact? I wanted to sign up for student rate premium, but didn't have a card to do it with, and then they turn around and take $7 away from me without giving me premium or anything? Can I get a refund?

Hey @asapb360,

If Spotify is unable to verify your student I.D, you won’t be eligible to claim the student discount. In this instance, any charges will show on your statement as ‘pending’. This means your bank has put a temporary authorization on the funds, but no money has actually been taken.

Once the bank confirms your student I.D failed to verify successfully, the money will reappear on your statement. This can take up to 48 hours, depending on your bank. You can reach out to them for more information about any pending payments.
