Martin Lewis reveals free £36 saving for music lovers – but you’ll need to be quick as offer ends in days
MONEY-SAVING expert Martin Lewis has revealed a new hit for music lovers looking to save.
A £36 offer is on the table, but rockers will need to be swift as it ends in days.
Anyone yet to sign up to Spotify premium can get the first three months for free.
Given the music streaming app charges £11.99 a month, it equates to a solid £35.97 saving.
It comes after Spotify hiked its subscription fees twice within just one year.
Shrewd streamers will have to be fast with the offer ending on September 17.
There’s another offer for those who have previously subscribed to Spotify.
But they’ll need to have been unsubscribed for at least 30 days.
If they fit the criteria, they’ll get three months of the price of one – £11.99.
It also comes with the catch that music listeners must not have snapped up discount offers in the last two years.
Of course, you’ll start being charged at the normal rate once the offer ends.
An article on the Money Saving Expert newsletter says: “You’ll need to enter payment details and once your offer period ends, you’ll automatically be charged £11.99 a month from then on, unless you cancel.
“You can cancel at any time, so if you don’t want to keep Premium, either cancel as soon as you’ve activated the offer or make a note to do so at a later date.”
Cancelling will set Spotify back to its free service, which includes the annoying ads between tracks and means song selection is restricted to the shuffle feature.
Premium also offers other things like listening with friends and setting a song queue.
But it has come at increasing costs.
Last summer it was increased by £1 to £10.99.
Then it went the same amount, arriving at the present-day £11.99.
It’s a 20 per cent increase on the £9.99 it was frozen at for several years.
A Spotify statement earlier this year said: “This adjustment is aimed at ensuring we can continue delivering the best experience to our users.
“You will still enjoy the benefits you currently cherish, such as ad-free music listening and offline downloads.”
