Half-price plan for students (premium for $4.99 CAD)

Deal Link:
Price:
$4.99
Savings:
50%
Retailer:
Spotify
Spotify's half-price premium subscriptions for students has finally arrived in Canada!

The premium subscription offers the following benefits:
- No ads
- Offline music collection
- premium tier improved sound quality

It's great to see Spotify's student pricing come to Canada for those that prefer Spotify over Apple Music (FYI, Apple Music also has a $4.99 student tier pricing that's been out for a few months now for those that prefer Apple Music > Spotify)

Students simply need to head to https://www.spotify.com/ca-en/student/ to sign up and SheerID handles all the student verification business.

*Note* You can get Spotify premium for student pricing for 1 year, after which can be renewed up to three times for a total of four years

Family group deals are better if you can find a group!

better take part of a group-buy here on RFD, for the family plan. It ends up cheaper, but you have to prepay.

can't find the thread (I'm at work)

Regarding Spotify Family Plan, just a couple of caveats:

- You would be pre-paying the "host" person who buys the membership annually (split 6 ways; around $30-35 CDN, depending on host)
- The "host" must be comfortable sharing their personal home address with 5 members/internet-friends/strangers
- Not sure how far left of legal it is

I've personally setup my own Spotify group recently but did not have to provide my home address to my other 5 "family members" and it is working fine. Whether or not Spotify with catch on to this, time will tell.

Huh. As did I, though I was not the host. At setup, Spotify was asking for "our" home address, and I was unable to enter my personal one at the time. If it's changed now, great!

Edit: here's a recent thread. Use at your own risk, I guess: https://www.reddit.com/r/spotify/commen ... mily_plan/

On my side, what I do is, I buy a 12 month premium code (once a year...) from eBay from any reputable seller. I get roughly 50% rebate, comes down for me to around 6$ per month. Did this so far twice, had no issue (my codes were never cancelled).

The host in my group used a hotel as the home address so either he is pimping the hotel lifestyle or he set it as something so he didn't have to share his real address and as long as all of the group members put in that address. Golden. As much as some orgs may crack down on sharing, they probably consider each member a subscriber and alway looking to inflate their subscriber #s

Bad timing for me.. I was looking for this barely a week ago and went the Apple route BC this already existed for Canadians. Was kinda pissed that Spotify wasn't available for us with student discount while it was there in the US

I like the UI of Spotify more so I may switch in the future but for now Apple legitimately earned my business
