If you are one of us who can go without music, and Spotify is one of your go-to music apps, this blog is for you. We have got you more than 13 legal ways to get Spotify Premium free. So now you can play your favourite songs without ad disturbance and can download them for offline fun.
How To Claim Spotify Premium Free?
Though this may sound surprising, the $10.99 per month Spotify Premium free. But I have tried all the ways and they really work. Let’s look at each one of them with a proper step-by-step breakdown.
1. Create New Accounts
Spotify gives prospective customers 3-month free trials of its Premium subscription plan. All that you require is a new email and a new payment mode.
So this is how you can do it:
- Check out Spotify.com.
- At the top right, give a click on Parimatch Premium
- Press any of the offered plans and click on the Sign up for Spotify button
- Fill in your information using a new email
- Begin your Premium free trial
After the end of the trial period, just cancel the plan, open a new account and do the same with another email and payment method. It is easy, reproducible, and it is legal all the way.
2. Use Family Plan
The Spotify Family Plan is ideal in case one of the members of your household already has Premium. It will accommodate up to 6 accounts under the same roof and associated with different logins and recommendations.
How to enroll:
- Ask the owner of that plan to invite you
- Click on the invite link and click on Accept
- Enter in or register your account
- Log in and give the common residential address
- Get Premium access
This is the best way to use Premium at nothing and with this, it does not matter in case the individual that you know is already in the plan.
3. Spotify Gift Card
When you are given a Spotify card as a present, or purchased one yourself, then you can redeem a Premium subscription without reaching your credit card.
Redeeming steps:
- Visit spotify.com/us/redeem
- Intrude the Premium code
- Just click on the redeem button and you will be good to go
It allows the stacking of gift card vouchers up to 18 months and this implies covering 1 and half years of smooth music delivery with no monthly charges.
Please note gift cards are inapplicable to Family, Duo, or Student plans, but only to Individual Premium.
4. Spotify Mod APK (Android Phones Only)
You can install Spotify Premium APK on Android phones. This modded application provides you with high-end modes of playing such as free ad-free listening, high-end streaming, and listening to offline content.
In order to use it:
- Get Spotify Mod APK downloaded on a secure site
- Download it onto your cell phone
- Log in and begin to listen
Note: It is not always stable, or supported by Spotify. A safer alternative may seem to be downloading music via AudiCable (we will speak more about it in the next section).
5. PayPal Promo
Spotify at one time collaborated with PayPal so that new users could get 3 months of free premium when they used PayPal as their method of payment. The promo has expired on September 15, 2024, although the same offers can come along shortly.
Watch the PayPal offer page to make sure that you are not left out next time it returns.
6. Starbucks Employee Benefit
Working at Starbucks, you will get a free Premium subscription to Spotify. It is just about a continuation of their cooperation since 2015.
To activate:
- Go to Starbucks partnership on Spotify
- Press the button Get Premium
- Access your Spotify account
- Enter your global username or your partner number
- Verify your information and wait as long as 48 hours
Your subscription will remain effective as long as you are in the team of Starbucks. Your playlists will still not be removed even after you cancel late.
7. Microsoft Rewards
Microsoft lets you earn Spotify Premium free by simply searching with Bing for three days in a row. You’ll earn points through Microsoft Rewards.
Steps:
- Sign up for Microsoft Rewards
- Perform one Bing search every day for three days
- Redeem your free 3-month Spotify Premium code
This deal is only for users who haven’t tried Premium before. After three months, Spotify charges $11.99/month—so set a reminder to cancel if you don’t want to pay.
8. OnePlus Red Cable Club
If you own a OnePlus phone in India, you can get 6 months of Spotify Premium free through the Red Cable Club.
Here’s what to do:
- Connect your device to Red Cable Club during setup

13. AT&T Unlimited Plan
If you’re on the AT&T Unlimited & More Premium plan, you can select Spotify Premium as one of your free entertainment perks.
Steps to activate:
- Log into your WatchTV account
- Choose Spotify Premium as your preferred service
You’ll get 6 months of Premium for free, even if you’ve used the service before—just cancel any existing subscription first.
Bonus Trick:
All the free methods above give you temporary access. Once your trial ends, you’ll lose offline downloads. To keep your songs permanently, use AudiCable Audio Recorder.
This tool:
- Records Spotify songs in MP3, AAC, FLAC, WAV, and more
- Preserves original sound quality and song details
- Works for both Free and Premium accounts
- Supports other platforms like Apple Music, Amazon, YouTube Music, Tidal, and more
With AudiCable, you can build a music library that stays with you, even without Premium.
Conclusion
You don’t have to pay monthly to enjoy Spotify Premium. Whether you’re signing up again, joining a family plan, redeeming a reward, or buying the right phone, there’s always a way in.
Try a few of these methods and see what works best for you. And if you want to make it permanent, AudiCable has your back.
