Want to enjoy Spotify Premium without paying a cent? A free trial is the smartest money-saving trick. Many users don’t know how to maximize their trial period or realize that canceling still lets you keep the remaining days. This guide walks you through claiming your trial via official channels and safely canceling your subscription to avoid surprise charges.
Where to Claim a Free Trial
Spotify occasionally offers new users a 30-day free trial—just visit the official website or app to sign up and you’ll see the offer. Some devices (like Samsung phones) or carrier partnerships may extend it to 60 days. Note that each email/account is limited to one trial, so don’t waste it on an account you won’t use.
If you’ve already used a trial before, you can try creating a new account (with a different email), but the same credit card might be flagged by the system. Consider using PayPal or a virtual credit card for payment, as they’re easier to disconnect later.
Pitfalls to Avoid During the Free Trial
The trial automatically converts to a paid subscription with auto-renewal enabled. Many people forget to cancel and end up charged, defeating the purpose of saving money. As soon as you start the trial, set a calendar reminder to cancel at least two days before it ends. Spotify’s cancellation path is simple: go to Account → Manage Subscription → Cancel Premium.
