Other solutions to get Spotify Premium for free
If you have already used the Spotify Premium free trial, the only solution you can take into consideration to subscribe to the service at no cost is to convince friends and relatives to give you a Spotify gift cardperhaps on the occasion of some recurrence (e.g. Christmas or your birthday).
If, on the other hand, you are a student and are entitled to the Culture Bonus, you can create an 18app voucher and use it to subscribe to Spotify for free for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months. I told you about it in depth in my tutorial on how to pay Spotify with 18 apps.
How do you say? Don’t have a Spotify gift card and don’t have the option to subscribe to the service via 18app? In that case, I’m sorry to tell you that the only way to get Spotify Premium is to reach for your wallet.
However, you can always opt for one of the plans that allow you to share Spotify with other people in your household, like Spotify Duos or Spotify Familythus reducing the cost of the monthly subscription.
