SPOTIFY is offering those who have never used its premium service a free three-month trial.
If you sign up today, you’ll get to try the Swedish streaming giant’s premium subscription plan up until December 20.
You could also be clever by waiting a few more days so it expires on Christmas and potentially put a Spotify gift card on your wish list.
But make sure you don’t wait much longer than that, as the free premium trial offers expires on September 30.
Some of Spotify’s premium features include commercial-free music streaming, unlimited skips, playing any song you want, and accessibility to download music.
Furthermore, by downloading music you can listen when offline.
So if your internet happens to go down for a couple of hours, you can still listen to your favorite songs, as long as they are downloaded.
How to get it
To get it, head over to the premium section of Spotify’s website, click “Get 3 months Free” and create an account.

Once finished and you add your credit card information, you can start enjoying premium benefits for the next three months.
After the trial ends, you will start getting billed $9.99 each month unless you cancel the subscription.
What does Spotify cost normally?
While there’s a free package with Spotify, the premium service costs $9.99 per month for most individuals.
So, the free trial would save you about $30.
However, Spotify has some deals for families and couples.
If you want to split it with one family member or a partner, you can purchase the “Duo” subscription for $12.99 per month.
Duo allows two premium accounts under one home.
Spotify Family, on the other hand, allows for up to six premium accounts for those who live in one home for $15.99 per month.
But the sweetest premium deal might go to students, which costs only $4.99 per month.
In addition to all the premium benefits, students get a free SHOWTIME and Hulu subscription plan.
