Charged after switching to free

[baileysteinm]

I was trying to switch my Premium subscription to the student discount, and ended up cancelling my subscription completely because it wouldn't work. It says I have Spotify Free on my account, yet I was charged the $4.99 student charge anyways, after telling me it wouldn't work.

Hey @baileysteinm, welcome to the Spotify Community!

Did you receive a payment confirmation email from Spotify?

Let me know 🙂

I received an email cancelling my subscription but no email on the
confirmation of the charge. My account was still charged though.

@baileysteinm,

In this case, the charge should show on your statement as ‘pending’. This means your bank has put a temporary authorization on the funds, but no money will actually been taken because Spotify has not verified your student status.

Please let me know if you have any other questions 🙂
