My Question or Issue

I have been charged for premium yearly plan but still have a free account

[Billy-J]

Hey @Killian3, thanks for reaching out to the Community!

Could you let me know what the subscription status of your account is here? If it doesn't say Premium, could you check your receipts page here and let me know if you see a charge? 

When you open the Spotify app, are you able to use your Premium features? If not, could you let me know what happens when you try to access a feature (download music, for example)?

You can also follow all of the troubleshooting steps provided in this support article, and let me know the outcome for each step. 

Let me know how this goes!

Subscription status still on free plan. No receipts found and no download feature available still.

Hey @Killian3, 

OK, gotcha.

Generally, it takes 1-3 business days for the payment to be received on Spotify's end, and once it does - the status of your account will turn to Premium. If you just processed the payment today, let's wait 1-3 business days (and I'll check in by Wednesday) to check if your account has turned to Premium.

If you received an email confirming your Premium subscription, or your account has turned to Premium before I check in on Wednesday, let me know.

I'll be here!

Hey @Killian3, 

Just checking in as promised, does your account status now say Premium? 

If not, can you check your receipts page again and let me know if you see the charge there? 

Keep me posted!

Still no receipts and my status is not on premium

Hey @Killian3,

Thanks for checking.

Can you let me know if you have one than one account and if you're logged in to the correct one? You can find additional accounts using this guide.

Keep me in the loop 🙂

I have only one account

Hey @Killian3,

Thanks for the reply.

Could you contact the provider of the payment service you've used? They should check if the payment was successful at all and if not, try subscribing once again.

[Killian3]

I got refunded and tried subscribing and I finally got premium. So no worries now.
Anyway thanks for the help

Have a nice day!
