Have you logged out and in since the upgrade? You may also need to reinstall the app.

 

But to confirm, I can see your account is definitely on the Premium service at the moment.

I am experiencing the same issue, After my VISA card was invalid, i got into free mode and reached the limit of 10 hours of listening. I've paid for premium now (twice) and, my subscription says

"You have an active Spotify Unlimited subscription. Your subscription will automatically renew and you will be charged 49,00 kr on 2013-03-12 unless you cancel your recurring payment."

 

It also says Spotify Premium in the Application (I run PC) 

 

But when I try to play, there is still no sound coming out of Spotify and the song progress bar is standing completely still. 

 

It is as if I'm still stuck in having used up my 10 hrs, even though I paid.

 

And yes, I have logged in and out like ... 10 times, and also reinstalled the software.

For some reason it suddenly works again. 

 

Well, let me just say I'm happy we dont use Spotify in medical devices or air plan systems 🙂

I bought spotify premium and it will not let me access anything it keeps saying I need to purchase spotify premium but I already have!! I logged in and out countless times, did a clean re installation, re started my phone. I have done everything. Nothing is working. Please please help. Its so unfair that they already billed me the ten dollars and I cant even access my premium account.

how did you fix this problem?

Hey guys 🙂 

 

Sometimes it can take a while for your subscription to appear on all your devices. 

If you have just subscribed and you are having issues getting premium to work, you should have a read at this dedicated topic.

When im trying to log in with my spotify account it says that ill need to log in with facebook and when im trying to log in with that im getting the 409 you´ll need a premium.

my page says that ill having the free version but im getting charged for premium has been for months and haven´t got any repllies on my mails with support.

Ill tried to go back to have spotify and facebook separatly because i didn´t want it in facebook, but it didn´t work either.

So how do i fix theese two problems?

So i have an active subscription for premium, However.. Spotify gave my the messages for several weeks ago that they couldent draw founds from my card (thankfully) i have a limmit so they cant draw more then i add to it. When i Check my account (bank) i see that i have pay spotify for one month (end of last month, like 27 of may i think)... Still it gave me a message about no funds on my card... And since like a bit more than a week ago i got back to stoneage and have spotify free.. With like 30 min of playtoime left... Fun... NOT.

 

And yes... For more than a week ago i contacted spotyfi about this mess... The only answer i got back was a mail that they wanted me to answer about how good their costomer service was and linked my case number or somethink like that... Irony, right?

 

Soo... What do i do now?

Hey! Welcome to the community 🙂 

 

Can you post your case number from when you got in touch? 

Its in the first automated email reply you get when you submit a contact form. I can then escalate that to the community team for you.
