How to pay for Premium with iTunes gift card

I've been a Spotify Premium customer for a few months now, and I've always done my payments through a PayPal account. However, I have a few extra iTunes gift cards laying around that I can use as App store credit on my iPhone. Is there any way I could pay for 2 or 3 months of Premium ahead of time using up that App store credit? I'm also aware paying through the app store is 13$ or so because of Apple's fees, but I still have nearly 50$ of iTunes gift cards that would otherwise be going to waste. Thanks ahead of time for any replies!

Hey @Moscow11

 

Right now subscriptions can not be purchased through the iOS app (via iTunes). In the past during Spotify's introduction offer, users would accidentally subscribe through the app instead of the website causing a lot of confusion. This decision was made to make the offer go more smoothly. Sorry for the inconvenience.

 

You can still subscribe to premium via http://spotify.com/premium

I did what you said and iTunes took my money so I thought it worked. But when I signed out and back in to Spotify and it still said that I still only had the free subscriptions. 

I'm so mad because this is the only way I can pay for Spotify because I don't have a credit card so how am I supposed to get premium

It's only temporarily disabled & if I tuned have took the money you need to contact them as Spotify cannot issue a refund only they can

It dosent let me pay like after i go to expired in view apple id it doesnt let me do anything

Just to clarify: the option to pay for premium will return next month through iOS? 

I purchased a iTunes gift card today and topped up my store credit with sole purpose of purchasing premium. I'm currently doing the trial period which finishes on the 27th. 

 

Would much love the option to redeem premium straight after the trial finishes through iTunes Store as I'm on this forum today, because, I wanted to upgrade today.

I'm really enjoying Spotify!

I'm actually so angry right now!!! Why can I not get premium with a iTunes card?! I bought an iTunes card just for Spotify and now it's saying no😭😡

@Rylee111

This is temporary if you read this thread

Sorry for the incovience caused but this is out of our control as we are fellow fourm users!

 

Hope I've helped you today 🙂
Keep it Spotify!
Have a Fab Day 🙂

I did everything you said and after I clicked on manage it just took me to the apple website. What do I do from there?

Hey Ladies and Gentlemen!

 

I have spoken to Spotify staff and it looks like subscriptions through iTunes is currently unavailable 😞 But you guys can still get premium by going to http://spotify.com/premium

 

If you're a first-time subscriber you can get a Spotify offer here

 

I apologize for any inconvenience caused. You guys can also leave your feedback here and I will be sure top send it over to staff 🙂

God bless you

I have money in my iPod (through an iTunes gift card) but still can't pay for a premium account

I realise the in-app  purchase might not return till July however, I signed up on the 30-day trial, then purchased the iTunes card so i could pay for premium (which I can't use, yet.) and I then see the .99 deal for 3 months. Can I not cancel my premium trial and sign up for the 3-month deal? 


Guys. We can't purchase through In-app purchases. i have talk to apple support person. So i have decided to change to apple music as i can get three months free trials. i find that removing in-app purchases from spotify is not very dreadful as it is. So yeah.... I am switching to apple music 

 

Hey @Xpert-z

 

In-app purchases should be coming back after the intro-offer ends.
