Premium account conversion to student account

[Spaceman952]

Hey,

So i've had a spotify premium account for a long time and am happy with it, i have been at university for a couple of weeks now and found out that students get half price! However i don't know how to convert my existing premium account of paying £9.99 a month to a student account, there was no option on the any of the account menu's neither can i find it anywhere! Do i need to deactivate my spotify and then re-start it up again or will i need to create and entirely new account??

Any help would be appreciated!

Many thanks

Tom

I have the same problem.  I filled out the verification form and received the email saying I was verified but when I click the link I was sent it just takes me to the account page that says I still ow 9.99 next month.  I'm in the US

Hey,

I'm in the UK, is it only a US thing?

@Spaceman952 - You should be able to add the student discount by going to https://www.spotify.com/student/ and following the Get Premium links whilst logged into your current Spotify account. 

@atm555 - Annoyingly, it doesn't appear that the Spotify payment system will allow US customers to adjust the price of an existing recurring subscription to apply the student discount. 

To get your discount, all you need to do is cancel your current subscription following the steps over on this help page then re-subscribe using your student discount link. No need to worry, you will still get all of the Premium days you have paid for doing this, you can cancel and resubscribe right away and you won't be billed until your next renewal date.
