Cancelled but still got charged

[joanadearc]

Hi guys, I was signing up for the student discount but then I had cancel it after already putting my card details (I told it would be okay since it stated it wouldn't charge me before I verified everything?) But um, it still charged me the 3,49€ of the student discount and my account is still Free so I don't know what is going on and how to get my money back. If anyone could help I'd really appreciate it!

Hey @joanadearc,

It’s very likely just a pending charge if you haven’t received a receipt from Spotify via Email 🙂

A pending charge is a part of your bank or credit card company’s authorization process. When you submit a payment, they place a temporary authorization on the funds.

If the transaction doesn’t successfully complete, no money will be taken and the charge will soon disappear. The time this takes can vary, depending on your bank/credit card company. For more information, contact your bank/credit card company.
