Giftcard code invalid

Solved!

Giftcard code invalid

I bought a giftcard yesterday. And when I enter the code it says it is invalid, altho its not. I've tried on 3 different platforms (don't know why but I did). I've been back to the place I bought it but the code is activaded and they are just the middlehand so they couldn't help me.

PS: I really think you should have a telephone support aswell.

Have you tried redeeming it at www.spotify.com/redeem ?

 

That error appears to be related to the 3-1 offer page, in which gift cards are not valid for redeeming that offer (despite the option being displayed on that page).

Yes, I have used the link you mentioned and tried but still I get the same message: "Ooops something went wrong try again or check out our help area.

 

Could you please escalate it further? My case number is  # 01140016. I haven't heard anything from the customer service on this Monday.

@Shannah70 -- I'm going to reply to that case of yours in just a minute. Keep an eye on your inbox.

 

Edit: I replied, then realised you have another support case with us, which is with the right folks. They'll be able to get things sorted out with that code, don't worry. It's a weird issue!

Who's your Spotify Star?

I got a gift card worth 600 kr I was planning to use for Premium. But when I type in the pin to redeem it says:
"The Premium code you entered is invalid. Please check that you have typed it correctly."
I'm absolutely sure I haven't typed anything wrong.

i am really not happy at the moment-was bought a £30 gift card for xmas, just redeemed it and it showed on my account that i had premium for 3 months, but it wasnt working on my devices so i logged out of account online and back in again and it has switched me back to spotify free and when i try to redeem the gift card again it says invalid. i want my 3 month premium that somebody kindly bought me. please get this sorted for me asap thanks

@neat1234 - Sounds like you might have two accounts, when you redeemed the gift code you should have received an email confirmation. What is the username shown on that confirmation?

My gift card code isn't working either!! I've talked to the people in the store but they say that they can't do anything about it. I've also filled in the contact form but i haven't gotten a reply by email yet. I paid 600sek and demand to get my code fixed or get my money back!

I've made a present sending a Gift card to a friend 3 moths for her birthday to start using it in her party

the code sent says is already in use....no way! I cannot find a phone though the Service in Spain I can talk to and this is happening tonight

& I'm between confused, stressd & frustrated, sincerely

 I bought a spotify gift card and accidentally bought Unlimited.  I hate it.  So I bought another gift card and at first it said that I couldn't update my payment information.  When I logged out and then logged back in, I tried to redeem my card again and buy premium, but it said that the code has alread been used, but I don't have any premium features?? I'm sooo pissed right now.  All I want is to listen to music on my devices.  Fix it ASAP please.
