I'm also running into the same problem. I clicked the link in the email. I pick the mini color. I check out but still see the $49 + tax amount. I checked and I am registered. In the URL it even has the discount code.

Quick update since I am having a similar issue with my order. I did connect with Spotify support and spend probably an hour with them. The support dude was very nice:) and helpful but they did not get back to me.
Since I am a software engineer here is my 5 cents on this issue. This may help people around to understand the issue with canceled orders.
1. Spotify has a single google promotion code locked for every user.
2. This code activates when we visit this URL http://www.spotify.com/googlehome/redeem
3. This code then applied at the Google Store Checkout page.
4. When Google received the order this promo code marked as used by Google so you can not order 100 Home Mini with a single promo code:)
5. It does not matter how many times you will open URL at step 2. The Spotify will still send the same used promo code to Google Store. That is why we got a full price at the checkout page.
6. Spotify can not check which order was canceled by Google automatically and that's where we stuck:)
Anyone get an update on this? Also getting the same thing. I get to checkout, and it claims its applied the promotion, but it hasn't. Still seeing $49 as my total.
The support chat really is a waste of time, they offered to escalate to a special team which never responds in the time frame they set, this is on multiple occasions. I am very familiar with customer support industry and messaging support as well and their team frankly is a disappointment and the main reason I am no longer a Spotify customer.
I've gone back and forth with support at least 5 times on this issue. They are prompt in responding to me but clealy have no clue as to how to resolve the issue. I did just forward them the post here about the promo code having already been registered and that causing Google's backend to mark the promo as having already been used.
I'll keep you posted on what I hear back.
I would suggest pushing support to issue new promo codes to us. If enough of us do it they may get approval to do so.
To start a case all you need to do is send an email to support@spotify.com
