Spotify Premium subscribers are being offered a great sounding free gift. Google has teamed-up with the streaming service to offer users a Nest Mini smart speaker to anyone with a paid monthly.
Voice-activated speakers are some of the hottest gifts this holiday season, and the GoogleHome, Hub, Max, and Mini are no exceptions. If you just unwrapped one of these smart home devices, you probably can’t wait for it to fill your home with your favorite music, podcasts, and more—as soon as you set up the darn thing.
It’s easy, we promise. All you need is Google Home, your Spotify account info, and your smartphone or tablet with the Google Home app. Here’show to connect your Google Home to Spotify:
- First, download the Google Home app from the Google Play or App store, and follow the prompts to set up your new Google Home device.
- Once connected, go to “Settings,” select “Music,” and then tap “Spotify” to set it as your default music service.
- Your Google Home app will ask you to link your Google and Spotify accounts. Have your Spotify username and password handy to start listening even faster.
- Users with free trials aren’t eligible, which means you can’t just sign up for a free Premium trial and snag a free Google Home Mini. Discounted Spotify Premium trials won’t work, either.
- There is an important difference between the deals, though: Google Fi is giving away the latest model, the Nest Mini, whereas the Spotify freebie features the older Google Home Mini.
- Every family member invited to Premium Family gets their own Premium account, so you can each play your own music whenever you want. You don't need to use each other's login details or schedule time when you can use Spotify.
- The popular streaming service teamed up with Google to offer up free speakers to all new and existing Individual and Family Premium subscribers from now through Nov. 15 — or until supplies last.
- SPOTIFY is giving away free Google Nest Mini smart speakers to Premium subscribers. The Home Mini is an Amazon Alexa rival – and would usually cost you £30.
Go ahead and test out your gadget’s skills. Try asking Google to play your favorite artists, songs, and playlists by saying:
“Okay Google…”
Free Mini With Spotify
- “Play Spotify.”
- “Play my Discover Weekly.”
- “Play hip-hop music.”
- “Play ‘Angel’ by Lionel Richie.”
- “Pause.”
- “Like this song.”
- “Skip forward 20 seconds.”
- “Play the next song.”
- “What’s playing?”
- “What’s this album?”
Music apart here is one more reason to be part of the Spotify family. The music streaming site is now giving away a Google Home Mini smart speaker for premium subscribers completely free.
That happens to be the entry-level smart speaker that the search giant has on offer. And Spotify also isn’t offering the latest version of the speaker – Nest Mini – either. That still makes it a cool deal anyway given that it’s a very handy and capable smart speaker that is for the taking, one that’s worth $50.
Spotify And Google Mini
However, there still are a few criteria that one must be adhering to before they can lay claim to the speaker. Main among those being that the speaker is only available to Spotify’s Premium subscribers, both new and old. However, those on free trials won’t qualify for the offer, neither are those who are currently subscribed to discounted Spotify Premium trial plan or the Premium Student plan.
Yet another group, the Spotify Premium Family Plan too seems to have been left out of the current promotion given that those have already received a free Google Home Mini last year. So those who might already be salivating at the prospect of snapping up a Google Home Mini completely free should be checking all the above boxes to be eligible for the offer. Further, the offer is also available only still stocks last.
So, for those who have made it thus far, here is what one will need to do to be the proud owner of a new Google Home Mini smart speaker.
- One will have to start by visiting the official Spotify home page, scroll down to the section where the offer is displayed and clicking on the Learn more button.
- On the page that gets displayed, the user will have to click on the appropriate button depending on whether they have a Premium Individual or Family account at the site.
- Users are now just a button away from qualifying for the free offer. New users will have to Sign up while existing members will have to log in to claim their offer.
- This should reserve a Google Home Mini speaker for the user, with an email confirming if the user indeed is the recipient as the offer is only valid till stocks are available.
- Users will have to head over to the Google Store (link provided in the confirmatory email itself) and ‘buy’ the smart speaker, with a special discount code provided that will make the purchase completely free. That’s it.
