Student Premium Inquiry

[KashmirViking]

Currently on month #1 of student premium. I understand each Student Premium subscription is a 12-month period, renewable up to 3 times for a total of 4 possible 12-month discounted periods. However, let’s say I cancel my subscription for a few months in the middle of a 12 month period; if I were to subscribe again after canceling, would that “count” as one of the renews? Thereby shortening my full possible subscription period?

Hey @KashmirViking ,

Thanks for coming to the Community.

The duration won't be affected by canceling or renewing your Premium Student subscription, it'll always last 12 months.

Hope this clears things up 🙂

So really, the full duration of Student Spotify Premium is always 48 months, regardless of whether that period was continuous or divided?

Hey again, @KashmirViking,

It always lasts 12 months and you can renew it up to 3 additional times.

So for example, I start my subscription for the first time. Go one month and cancel. Then subscribe again and cancel. Then again. Now will I only have 9 months of Student Spotify Premium left as I have renewed it three times?

Hey @KashmirViking ,

Thanks for getting back.

Okay, so let's say you have just applied for the student discount and you've subscribed to Premium Student: 1 month later you decide to cancel, but shortly after you change your mind and resubscribe. This action won't count as "renewing your student discount" (i.e 2/4, it would still be 1/4), since you're simply changing the plan - the student discount remains applied until it expires 12 months later.

Hope this helps.

Ohh I see, thank you.

So what this means is if I unsubscribe, then shortly after resubscribe during a discounted session, I lose time I can have a student subscription from the 12 months, because it will expire twelve months after the initial activation date, regardless of whether I was using the premium subscription for the full 12 months?

Yes, that seems to be the case. 🙂
