How to Try Spotify Premium for Free

Sign up for a trial Premium plan on desktop

Open Spotify. Go to https://www.spotify.com/premium/ in your browser. The Spotify Premium page will open.

Click START FREE TRIAL . This green button is right in the middle of the Spotify page.

Enter account information when prompted. If you're not logged into the Spotify site, you'll be asked to enter your email address and password and tap LOG IN before continuing.

If you're already logged in, skip to the next step.

If you don't have an account yet, you can click the Sign Up button at the bottom of the page and fill out the application to create a new Spotify account. You should return to the Spotify Premium page once you've signed up.

Enter payment information. Even though you don't have to pay the 400,000 VND monthly fee for the first month, you still have to enter information, including card name, card number, expiration date and security code on the payment page.

Spotify Premium no longer accepts payments with PayPal: to complete this step, you need a credit or debit card.

Click START 30-DAY FREE TRIAL NOW . It's the blue button below the payment information section. Your Premium plan will be activated immediately: you can use Spotify Premium features for free for 30 days. After this trial period, you will be charged 400,000 VND/month until you cancel your subscription.

If you cancel your subscription one day or more before the deadline, you will not be charged the following month.

Increase the trial period if desired. While it's impossible to keep Spotify Premium free forever, you can always create a new Spotify account using a different email address (or Facebook account) and cancel your subscription before you're charged. Although it's complicated, doing so will help you continue using Spotify Premium for free.
