Credit card as a student? Contacting spotify directly? help...

[voortuin]

Dear spotify,

At this moment i'm getting a bit frustrated. I can't find any information for contacting spotify directly or get an reasonable answer for my unique situation. So i will post my question(s) here.

First of all, where do i check if my school is fit for this student subscription?

Secondly, the only option i have left is to apply i have is to fill in a creditcard number. I find it redundent that i need a creditcard to get a studentsubscription. I'm a student, why in gods name do i need a creditcard in the first place. At this moment, I have a premium account that i pay with my paypal account. Why can't i just pay with paypal? 

So i came to this forum for answers.

I can't find any contact information for contacting spotify in "Amsterdam" (example: email adress, telephone number). Should i just visit the head office?. Which i can't call for an appointment in the first place. So the only option is to barge in the place asking for this information. That situation won't help calm my frustration at all.

I'm quite happy what spotify does but now i'm leaning towards just dowloading all my music illegaly on my phone a cancel my subcription i have. 

Yours, Bart

Hey @voortuin,

Unfortunately, you can only subscribe to the Student Discount using the available payment methods. If the payment method you’d like to use isn’t being offered to you on the payment page, then it’s most likely not available at the moment.

To find out if you are eligible, you have to try to verify yourself at https://spotify.com/student.

I'm sorry, but Support won't be able to help in this matter. They would tell you the same thing.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
