No free Google Home Mini for you!
- Free Google Home For Spotify Family Plans
- Free Google Home For Spotify Family Playlist
- Free Google Home For Spotify Family Sharing
This latest effort from Spotify is not really any different, save one very important thing. The deal is pretty straightforward: sign up for Spotify Premium for Families and you get a free Google.
- Device: Google Home Mini I'm an Apple Music user, but we finally made the leap to using Google Assistant and we bought 4 Google Minis throughout the house which we use as speakers in the kids room and as assistants to connect our Sonos Speakers.
- Spotify is teaming up with Google to offer a free Google Home Mini to anyone who signs up (or upgrades their account) to a Spotify Premium for Family plan. The promo is only good until December.
- Family members under one roof get up to six Premium accounts, plus the new Spotify Kids app. Try 1 month free, only $14.99/month after.
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.
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

So 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.

Back in October, Spotify resurrected its free Google Home Mini offer, but expanded its reach by opening the offer up to all Premium Individual subscribers as well as Premium Family master account holders. The offer only lasted a few days, but if you happened to miss out the first time around, Spotify is giving us all one more chance to grab the free Google Home Mini smart speaker. Plus, Student accounts are eligible this time as well.
Head to this page on Spotify’s website where you’ll be asked to link up your Google and Spotify accounts. Once you prove that you aren’t a robot, you’ll be redirected to Google’s online store, where you can choose between four colors of Google Home Minis: Coral, Charcoal, Chalk, and Aqua. With Saver shipping, I was able to complete my purchase for a grand total of $0, and my completely free Google Home Mini will arrive in the next two weeks.
Plus, if you aren’t currently subscribed to Spotify Premium, but are considering jumping back on board, you may still be eligible for this deal: “You’re eligible to redeem a Google Home Mini from the Google Store at no extra cost if: you currently pay the full price for a Premium Student, Individual, or Family plan; or you successfully sign up to receive 3 months of Premium Individual for $9.99,” Spotify explains on its Comeback page for returning users.
Free Google Home For Spotify Family Sharing
So whether you already pay for Spotify Premium as an individual, a family, or a student, or you’re just thinking about paying for the service again for the first time in months, you can probably get a free Google Home Mini. That’s one easy gift taken care of for the holidays (even if you gift it to yourself)!
