Unable to use Amazon Echo with Spotify family

[georgiivanov]

I've been using my Echo with my Spotify premium account for sometime and it all worked great except that if I wanted to use my spotify account on the Echo and another device at the same time it was a no go. I decided to upgrade to family so that my Echo can have its own dedicated account and this is where all **bleep** broke loose... I revoked access to my echo from my spotify account settings and when I tried to link the new spotify account(part of the family subscription) I couldn't do it. I then tried to link the original account but that did not work either. I had a chat with Amazon's support and according to them Spotify family doesn't work with their Echo. After hearing that I went to my spotify account and downgraded my subscription from family back to premium hoping I can re-enable the integration but apparently I need to wait until the month of family runs out for my subscription to change. How can I force my subscription to become premium sooner so that I don't have to wait a month stuck with something I don't use?
