Unable to gift Spotify Premium in India

[pavan_raj_n]

My Question or Issue:

I ordered 10 Quantities of Spotify premium gift card from Flipkart's "FPC Retail" seller for my family members and some people in my local community. It has been more than a week. After 5 days or so they cancelled 9 quantities of my order stating that they went out of stock and they haven't delivered even 1 qty that they are yet to deliver. It has been more than a week now. With Paytm out of the equation, basically we are unable to gift anyone Spotify premium gift card in India reliably. As long as Paytm was providing the service, we used to get instant deliveries. Either please point me to Spotify gift card suppliers who provide instant deliveries, or let me know what is the process to become one of Spotify's Gift Card supplier in India. I see a gap here that needs to be filled. I don't think the Spotify Indian users have to wait for more than a week just to gift someone. I guess Spotify may be losing a lot of revenue by partnering with Flipkart alone.

Here's the proof of the delay. I haven't received the gift card until now. This bad experience is going to affect the brand image of Spotify. People can simply switch to other music streaming apps.

UPDATE: I received full refund from Flipkart. Nobody that I know is able to buy Spotify premium gift cards in India from FPC Retail on Flipkart. Me and my family will be switching to another music streaming platform. We all will miss Spotify. It's a sad good bye.

Hey @pavan_raj_n,

Thanks for reaching out.

I can confirm that digital gift cards are currently only available in India through Flipkart, and it seems they’ve recently restocked, so they should be available again for purchase. Unfortunately, bulk orders are only available in the US and Europe at this time.

I’ve also passed along your feedback to the relevant teams at Spotify. If you have any other questions, feel free to let me know! 🙂
