Students? *sigh

It's a cracking deal for a student. I rather luckily get an NUS card through my previous employer as an Alumni (which is awesome), well worth the £5 a month for premium, tbh well worth the £10 a month if you are not a student.

Thanks. I only have one month left at 50% through NUS and still have an active uni days account till next year :smiley:

Not sure if virginmedia are still doing spotify but I signed up 18 months ago and still get spotify for free, it was supposed to last 6 months, I know they do student bb deals for 9 months as well

Students? *sigh

Unidays is a website free to sign up to that offers students discounts online...you can get to the student spotify sign up through them.
I have just signed up :smiley:

Heat, but it says the £5 price is only valid for 12 months

BE A PREMIUM STUDENT FOR £4.99 A MONTH!
Introducing Spotify as our latest partner! UNiDAYS students can now enjoy 50% off a Spotify Premium subscription — yours for only £4.99 a month for up to 12 months.

Still not convinced? Spotify is a better way to listen to music. Millions of songs available instantly – from old favourites to the latest hits. Just hit play to stream anything you like.

Plus, Spotify works on your laptop, phone, tablet and TV. So you’ll always have the right music, wherever you are. Click HERE to access this student perk now!

Thanks - you've just reminded me to cancel my Spotify subscription as I'm using Google Music these days instead! Good deal - Spotify is pretty awesome but Google Music pretty much offers the same functionality except through a web browser, is free to use on mobile devices and you can upload all your own music to it.

Don't think samsharp99 is implying he doesn't pay for google music. Just that it offers a similar (if not better for some) service than spotify, and is a little cheaper.

This pleases me, never had an NUS card. Thanks OP

My 50% off ran out yesterday :disappointed: It's great value for £5 a month. Can easily find nus numbers online so will probably sign up again :wink:

Excellent! I though £10 was a bit high, I managed to get another free trial which ends next week - £5 per month is a steal!

I think I'm going to give Google's play music trial a spin first though - just to compare.

Pff.. I tried spotify with student discount but then realized, hold on, I'm paying & still don't own the music? No wonder there is so much piracy going on.

What I do now is, create a spam acc every 30 days so I can take advantage of the 1 month free trial.

screw capitalism

My £11.99/year Music Unlimited sub will be out in a few months. Will definitely be going with this deal if Sony doesn't do another great offer like that!

HOT

cant do it as it wants you to be logged into a uni campus

Does anyone use Entropay as payment method? VCC keeps getting rejected. Never had a problem using it anywhere else.

Great deal for me. I was happily paying £10 a month so half price is great by me.

I have unlimited for £4.99 ... I went through unidays and it says I need to cancel my subscription before signing up for premium. But that means I'll end up paying £4.99 for the few days I've used unlimited this month, and then have to pay another £4.99 for premium. Confused.

Ok, so is there a way to get this deal if you're not a student?

Thanks very much OP my NUS card deal runs out this month so saved £12 renewing it and just did this. Much appreciated. Heat

If I hadn't just paid £20 for a years worth of Premium on eBay last week, I would jump at this :wink:

my uni days are over but luckily my Unidays account is still active!

????

you can share your play list, so as long as you have speedy internet, it shouldn't be that much of a problem

My NUS Extra card deal run out 2 weeks ago.. I did hope I'd still be able to get on Unidays but I can't login via Athens any more.

Back to paying full price.

Thanks. Just took advantage of this. Saves me £5 a month.

How do I get this deal if I'm not a student? Thanks

So this is a deal that has been around forever, and now there is just another way for STUDENTS
to sign up without an NUS, but you still need to be a student with a STUDENT Campus login details

so cold my toes almost came off

Awesome thanks for the heads up :smile:

Still got access to UNiDAYS for another few months luckily so will probably go for this.

But I want this deal :-(

Will be one of the dodgy gen code things that will get cancelled and account banned after a month or 2 (when you cant claim through paypal), many many people have had this happen to them on ebay deals such as that

Great stuff, worked for me with my uni login details - not a student but let me register anyway. Worth trying if you work in a University!

Hardly justifies it to be a cold deal does it... I'm not a student, but a) I know a teacher or b) I know a friend at uni doing a masters. Therefore I can get the offer

It's cold because there is no change to the price,its the same price it's always been for students,just a different way of obtaining it.

All of the business models screw over the artist. (Unless they are also the copyright holder).

The deal is that it's £5 cheaper than full price. I'm sure games or other products have been posted at the same price from different retailers and they all get hot and rightly so. An NUS card would cost a student money as well so in an indirect way, this deal is actually cheaper than that one.

I haven't voted yet but I'm gonna vote hot just to counter your bad excuse for a cold one...

Well this isn't a different retailer,and its always been this price from this retailer! As for purchasing an NUS card, Most students by them as the perks massively out way the cost of the card and they easily recoup there money back.

This is not a HOT deal IMO, It's been seen before by the same retailer at same cost that has never changed, this is just pointing out how you can obtain it differently for the same cost.

I couldn't care less how you vote

Well yes, unless the artist self-publishes. My point is that the artist will always suffer if you pirate your music, but they will at least get some form of remuneration regardless of whether you choose to purchase or lease your music (compared to pirating).

Do you enter legit card details? The same card each time? And cancel the subscription each month to ensure payment isn't taken? Obviously new emails each month too. Anything else to do?

My lad is a student but at high school, he works part time and pays for premium himself so wtf can't he have half price oh no because you have to sign in from Uni.. utter b0ll0x...

hmmm... this or google play music?

Who would pay £5pm for something you get for free?

I pay for it because I find the syncing across devices is brilliant, I also enjoy finding shared playlists and discovering new music through the service. I do pirate some of my music but not very much since I started using Spotify. I also still buy the odd CD.

Ok to those asking how I enter my details. I believe you can enter card details as well, but you can also use your paypal address if you want to which I do. So when you sign up, you'll have to go through a paypal check out process where the cost will be displayed 0 Pounds and a small text saying that after the 30 days trial x amount will be deducted from your account.

You agree and "pay" the 0 Pounds and you have Spotify Premium. It will tell you when your Trial will expire. You can then go to your account and cancel your premium subscription, and it will say, after the intial 30 day trial, no payment will be made from your Paypal account.

So you will have 30 Days premium and it will automatically expire in 30 days. Once it expires, create new account and the whole game repeats itself.

Ha Students. Think they know everything, but they know nothing.

Thought Google Play WAS free if you stay under 20,000 songs in your library. I've certainly never paid for it.

Yeah - I was on Spotify Unlimited for £5 a month and I've moved to the 30 day free trial of Google Music followed by £7.99 a month if you sign up before the 15th (I think?). So it's an extra £3 a month (or £2 cheaper than Spotify Premium) and it includes storing all of my offline music in the cloud and the ability to listen on mobile devices and anywhere with a web browser. The fact I can seamlessly listen to my own music from anywhere and music streamed through all access is pretty good.

Plus, if I decide I don't want to pay for it any more - all of my music (as long as it's less than 20,000 songs) is still available to listen/play through Google Music with no charge.


Listening to your own music is free under 20,000 of your own songs. If you want to stream / add music from the net then you have to either buy the albums/songs from the play store or pay the £7.99 a month for All Access - which allows you to listen to anything.

Im not a student but want to fleece this deal, how?

You can also get the deal using UNiDAYS.

grooveshark is better than spotify and free too. spotify sucks in comparison. grooveshark.com

Because they screwed up my NUS Extra card and gave me an extra month free my subscription is messed up. Spotify thinks my NUS card has expired as I've been having Spotify at £5 for the last year but there is 2 months left on my card.

make sure you sign up to the 30 day trial first to save more money!

thanks.

If on EE or ORANGE then get Deezer for nowt on mobile and tablet. Same as spotify

Well said mate, well said!
