Hey @q9xuh_-gvb0gc,

Thanks for coming to the Community.

When you sign up for a free trial, you may notice an authorization charge for a small amount on your account. This is Spotify’s way of verifying the validity of your payment method. It’s only a temporary hold and will disappear shortly.

Although Spotify releases these funds immediately, it may take longer for your bank to process the transaction.

I hope this clears things up 🙂

el día 3 de noviembre cajee un código de tres meses gratis de Microsoft para cuentas nuevas sin utilizar premium la primera vez, y me hizo un cargo de $20.00 pesos a las 19:04:51 h

I went to do the three month free trial for premium and it says it’s totally free. And yet when it goes to my card, it’s declined because it tries to charge me 1.01. The reason I’m pouncing on free trial is because I have no money, so I can’t use the free trial because I can’t pay for the FREE TRIAL.

what the **bleep**? Do you not know the meaning of FREE TRIAL.

I used PayPal with crypto.com card and it only charged me £0.01
