Can I get Spotify Premium without activating the free trial?

[windfortress]

Hi everyone,

I want to get Spotify Premium, but I don't want to activate the free trial and save it for another time. I remember that it normally signs you up for the trial automatically and I haven't found a way to turn this off without signing up for Premium first.

Is there any way to turn the automatic sign-up off? I really want to save the free trial for another time.

Thanks.

Hey @windfortress,

Thanks for posting - It's great to have you here!

Unfortunately, once you have purchased premium you aren't able to clain the free trial at a later date.

Cheers,

Tim

Hi there,

Some time ago I used the free 30-days trial and canceled after it ended. Now I want to buy premium, but I can't because of the 30-days trial thing (* Open only to users who haven't already tried Premium.)

How can I get directly to premium, please?

😞

I've got the same issue here. Would be nice to get an answer also for me.

Cheers 🙂

Hey @Wuslon & @delyahh!

You should be able to purchase Spotify Premium by going to https://spotify.com/premium 🙂 Let me know if you're having issues there, and I'll see what I can suggest!

Cheers!

Yes, that is the problem. My card is being declined because I already tried the free trial years ago and now I can't access or pay for premium.

That's not cool, @delyahh!

Even if you've already used the Spotify Premium trial before, you should be able to use that same credit card for Premium! Would you be able to share a screenshot of any error messages/codes you're getting (making sure not to share anything personal or private)?

Cheers!

Sure, no problem.

It doesn't offer any relevant information. I have a valid card with sufficient funds. It is the same I used for the old trial and I use it all the time for online payments. 😞

Thanks for that, @delyahh!

Have you checked out this Support article on troubleshooting payments: https://support.spotify.com/account_payment_help/payment_help/problems-paying-for-spotify-by-card/? 🔍

Let me know!

[delyahh]

Yeah. Like I said, nothing wrong with my payment option in general. Can someone check my spotify account and see what's wrong?

Thanks for the reply, @delyahh!

Just to 100% cover all bases, I'd suggest reaching out to your bank to make sure that your account & card meets all these requirements 🔍

Let me know how it goes!
