Thinking about Premium, but have some questions

[dameos1976]

My question is this:

I currently have the $10 a month Hulu Plan (Ad-Free)

I currently have the Showtime Bundle through X-Finity Cable

I am a student;

How would this affect my bill, since the package you are offering is the $5.99 (Ad-Supported) Hulu, and mentions nothing about the Showtime package

Hey @dameos1976, help's here!

Could you confirm the country of residence? 

I'd love to take a look.

USA

Hey @dameos1976,

Thanks for confirming.

Premium for Students in the USA includes Hulu and SHOWTIME, which you can learn more about here. 

When you sign up for Premium for Students, you can add those two services to your plan under 'Add Hulu and SHOWTIME' section here.

Every month, you'll be charged $4.99/mo for your subscription. 

I hope this helps! I'll be right here if you need any more help 🙂

Ok, so that didnt answer my question at all, just regurgitated the premium
page.

I dont want to add the $5.99 Hulu Plan, and Showtime to a Spotify premium
for students, for just $4.99.

I already pay $10 a month for Hulu Ads Free, and Showtime is part of a
different package deal.

So what do i get for Spotify Premium as a Student; and how much will it
cost?

I don't wsnt the $5.99 ads supported Hulu nor do I want tear up my current
Comcast XFinity account to get an ads free Spotify for $4.99 a month.

I am literally trading free ads supported music for paid ads supported
movies / TV

Hey @dameos1976.

Thanks for getting back to me!

Premium for Students in the USA is $4.99/mo included with both Hulu and SHOWTIME. In other words, one price for 3 subscriptions.

To get started, check under the 'Add Hulu and SHOWTIME' section here.

If that still doesn't help, let me know what's happening in more detail. 

Thanks 🙂

I do not want an ads supported Hulu, that is why i chose the $10 plan.

My Showtime is already part of a reduced cost package deal, if i remove it,
i would be increasing my monthly payments for Cable Television by about $20 a
month.

I want ads free music with the other benefits of premium, but am trying to
see if i get some sort of student discount.

Since your replies seem copy pasted and or automated, i will assume there
is no stand alone student discount.

Hey @dameos1976,

Oh! That makes more sense now. And I'm a real person here to help you.

Premium for Student included Hulu (ad-supported), and won't work if you're on the No Ads subscription.

You should be able to use Premium for Students without adding Hulu or SHOWTIME, if that's what you'd like. Once again, to get started, click here.

Does that help you better?

[dameos1976]

Ok still doesnt help.

There is no stand alone discount for students?

Student premium comes with the other junk.

Since i already have a better deal (in my opinion) for the other junk.

The answer to my original post is nothing.

Student premium is what it is, $4.99 is what you pay, wether you use the
other benefits or not.

My question was wondering if since im paying $10 a month for Hulu, as well
as already paying for Showtime, if there was a different cost for Premium
spotify by itself with no other stuff included.

So again, the answer is no.

Hey @dameos1976,

Sorry for the confusion.

The price of standalone Premium for Students and the bundle are the same: 4.99 USD. If you do not wish to take part of the bundle, having Premium for Students is still the cheapest alternative. 

Let me know if this isn't the answer you're looking for 🙂
