I have spotify but not the premium account. Should I hold off from subscribing after they have the GHM back in stock?

Clearly that doesn't work, queue pictures of walls of GHM's, like what happened in the states. Anyone who wants to "scam" the system has many accounts anway, this is hardly a hurdle for them. And so far, at least in my case, my cancelled order was not due to the same CC or address. It's much easier to have a bunch of google accounts then it is to have a bunch of CC's or different addresses.aasoror wrote: ↑ The whole reason for T&C to specifically say "no guest checkout" is because Google wants to limit this to one per customer, the only way to really identify a customer in this setup by CC, Google or any other retailer can't tell who is sharing the "SAME" credit card with his wife or paying with for his parents expenses or just trying to scam them getting as many as free units as possible to flip them for profit.

My email to them said "I have already called Google since it is a Google issue that I cannot go through the checkout again, but since you're the one running the promotion, I expect you to know that limitation and provide another promo code for me to use." I gave them my Google order number for them to verify with Google as well as I expect a promotion this big would have some dedicated people involved on both sides. I also told them Google also told me you guys have pulled the promotion yet you are still advertising. I also asked them to refund me if you are pulling the promotion as its false advertising.
So we'll wait and see.
Google is now asking the screenshot of spotify that they cant send new promo code and send back to their one of a specialist...
Lets see what happens!

I definitely don’t need one, so I’ll do the right thing and pick one up on my way home.

Thanks for the update, thread summary aside, it's spelled out right in the terms and conditions (which was linked in the OP), if it did work prior it's just YMMV as many got their ordered cancelled because of this.

Promotional codes cannot be used with Guest Checkout, so you must have a Google account and be signed-in to that Google account to redeem the Promotional Code and you will need to have or add a form of payment approved by Google at checkout.

Normal..they probably got a huge back log to fullfill.
Consider yourself lucky that you were able to place the order. I know many people who signed up at 1 pm didn't even get a chance to place an order yet.

It's out of stock when the offer link is updated to say out of stock. Spotify/Google can terminate the offer as they see wish but termination needs to be communicated as soon as it happens (else it would be a bait and switch campaign)

I just chatted with Google. They said to contact Spotify and Google cannot do anything. I'm just contacting Spotify now to cancel it. I already got one with my wife's account, so I'm good. I dont have time to be battling with the non-existent customer support at two billion dollar companies.
Edit: I'll give it a few days to see if Spotify responds to my initial inquiry from yesterday - I'm sure they are overwhelmed. Otherwise, I'll be asking to cancel under the 14-day refund policy.

It would have been wiser to create a new account

Actually when the biggest reported loot is 5 so far (with 5 different credit cards) and when people are resorting to selling the codes and not the actual product then this means it's working way more effective than any of the "free google mini bundle at BB" deals that was ever posted here.
Ok, so my comment isn't related to you then.And so far, at least in my case, my cancelled order was not due to the same CC or address.
Correct, that's why they are cracking down on both guest checkouts and multiple orders from different google accounts with the same CC.It's much easier to have a bunch of google accounts then it is to have a bunch of CC's or different addresses.

Anyone registering using the link in the OP right now has more chances than those waiting for GHM to get stocked (as there is no guarantee promo would be still on by then).humble_kid wrote: ↑ I have spotify but not the premium account.

Spotify hasnt responded to my initial inquiry from yesterday, so maybe theres a chance. I'll wait a few more days as I am sure they are overwhelmed with the stupidness of Google's checkout system and just reach out to them for a refund under the 14-day refund policy.
