- Spotify: You get a free Google Home Mini! And you get a free Google Home Mini! Whether you're a current subscriber to the music service or a new one, there's a smart speaker coming your way.
- SPOTIFY PREMIUM users were offered the chance to order a free Google Nest Mini smart speaker this week - getting a cool £49 off the price of the AI-powered gadget. But if you didn't realise this.
I ask my google home mini to play some music yeah?' Hey google play album/song' 'okay, playing album/song on spotify' and then nothing happens. I have spotify premium btw. Edit: I closed the google home app on my phone and now it plays one song I ask for and then stops.
No free Google Home Mini for you!
Perhaps you recently heard that Spotify Premium users are now eligible to receive a free Google Home Mini. The promo has Spotify Premium customers in Canada super excited... well, most Spotify Premium customers.
There are a select few that are a little less than stoked about the promo, as they've been thoroughly left out. People who are currently subscribed to a Premium for Family account have not been included in the promo, meaning they are not privy to a free Google Home Mini.
The outrage is understandable when you realize that people on the Family plan actually pay $5 more than regular Premium users.

TL;DR Spotify Premium users that are subscribed to the Family account are speaking out about their exclusion from the Free Google Home Mini deal being offered right now until May 9th.
Spotify Get Google Home Mini
Hey @SpotifyCares .. Premium Family subscribers in the UK get a free Google Home Mini. Why can't Canadians? #failpic.twitter.com/D6SdaYd4Hn
— Darryl MacLeod (@darryl_macleod) April 10, 2019To add insult to injury, it seems that Spotify Premium users in other countries are eligible to claim the free Google Home Mini if they are on the family plan. It's only Canadian families that are still left out of the deal.
Understandably, Canadian families are confused and feeling let down that they aren't able to take advantage of this sweet free gift.
@spotifycanada I can't hear the music. All I hear is #crickets.
No response as to why family 'premium' accounts, although more expensive, don't qualify for the free Google home mini. #spotifail

— Janika Ekdahl (@Janika80) April 10, 2019So far, Spotify Canada has yet to respond to questioning customers, though I have a good feeling they will have to honour this deal to their Family Plan customers eventually.
Especially if they are already doing so for those customers in other countries.
Hey @Spotify or @SpotifyCares , I'm paying for a family plan in Canada. Can I still get the Google Home mini deal?
— Chris G Galbraith (@GhostGrifter) April 9, 2019@SpotifyCares I have a premium for family Spotify account in Canada. Am I able to get the Google Home Mini offer? My kiddo would love to be able to ask Spotify to play her fave songs.
— Veronica Murphy (@thriftgypsy) April 10, 2019Stay posted to MTL Blog, as we will be sure to update you if this deal changes and Family Plan users are able to claim their free Google Home Mini.
In the meantime... maybe you just switch your Family account to a solo account for a month to cash in? Just kidding.
