Quick answer
Spotify Premium trials are temporary, market-specific offers for eligible users. The offer page states the trial length, eligible plan, required payment method and price after the trial; unless cancelled in time, the subscription normally renews at the displayed recurring rate.
Who can get a trial?
Eligibility depends on the exact promotion and market. Offers commonly exclude people who have already tried Premium or previously held certain Premium plans.
Do not rely on an old advert or another country’s offer. The terms linked from the live promotion control eligibility.
Why Spotify may request payment details
A trial can require a valid payment method so the subscription can continue after the promotional period. Spotify may use an authorisation check depending on the method and market.
The offer screen should show the price that will apply after the trial and the first expected billing date.
What happens when the trial ends
If the offer renews automatically and you do not cancel, Spotify charges the recurring plan price shown when you accepted the offer, subject to later notified price changes.
Set your own reminder before the displayed renewal date if you are still deciding whether Premium is worth paying for.
How cancellation affects a trial
Spotify distinguishes some zero-price trials from normal paid subscription periods, so access may end immediately when certain trials are cancelled.
Read the cancellation confirmation carefully rather than assuming Premium will always remain until the date shown.
Common questions
Is every new account eligible for a free trial?
No. Eligibility depends on the current offer, market and previous Premium history.
Will Spotify charge me after the trial?
A trial that renews automatically will normally become the displayed paid subscription unless cancelled.
Can I cancel on the first day?
You can cancel, but some zero-price trial access may end immediately; check the offer terms and confirmation.
