How to Pay for Spotify Premium?
Automatic Billing Options
Spotify supports several recurring payment methods to ensure your Premium service continues without interruption. Here’s how you can set up automatic monthly payments:
-
Credit or Debit Cards
Use major cards like Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover. Make sure the card’s country of issue matches your Spotify account location. -
Prepaid Cards
Accepted cards include PaySafeCard and other prepaid options from major providers. -
PayPal
You can use PayPal if it’s linked to a valid credit or debit card. (Note: PayPal balance alone can’t be used.) -
Mobile Carrier Billing
Available in select countries, this method lets you charge the subscription to your mobile phone bill. -
Third-Party Partners
In some regions, Spotify works with telecom or service providers for billing. Availability depends on your location.
Important: If you’re subscribed to a Duo or Family plan, mobile payments and partner billing aren’t supported. If you’re using one of these, you’ll need to cancel and wait for your current Premium plan to end before switching payment types.
Tip: After selecting a Premium plan, Spotify will display all available payment options for your country. You won’t be charged until you confirm your payment details. Some links may show a 404 error if the method isn’t supported in your region.
One-Time Payment Options
Prefer not to deal with monthly charges? Spotify also offers non-recurring payment solutions:
-
Gift Cards
Purchase a physical or digital card from authorized retailers and redeem it for Premium time. Note: Since January 15, 2019, Spotify no longer sells e-gift cards on its website, but third-party vendors may still offer them. -
Pay As You Go (PAYG)
Buy Premium access in increments of 1, 3, 6, or 12 months. Availability varies based on your region and chosen plan (e.g., Individual or Family). Always check what’s offered in your market.
