Just an FYI, if you subscribe to Spotify premium you get 3 months for 99 cents. Then you can upgrade your regular account to a family plan for free. They bump it down to only 2 months, but will send you a link for a free home mini.

I signed up last night, and got my email for my free mini this morning

I did this last week. I got mine.

Alternatively, amazon was doing this with amazon music as well and receive an echo dot for a $1

I've got 3 Google minis for free, this is my 4th. I'm considering selling it on eBay because I don't really have a place for it.

For $10, really?

I don't know, I just don't need another one. Hell, I could probably just return it to Walmart haha.

The only thing I want is a home hub, but not getting one before Christmas.

Does the amazon thing still work or is that over?

Do you have to enter all your credit card information and then remember to cancel the service? Or can I cancel immediately after or right after I receive the Google Mini?

I used paypal. It's a good idea to not cancel the service until after the mini has shipped.

I used cc and set a reminder to cancel in my phone middle of January.

Just an FYI that this promo doesn’t work if you’ve already had a Spotify premium account in the past

I guess a workaround is to create a different Spotify account using a different email address.

Ok I did the premium for 3 months at 99 cents. How do I upgrade to the family plan for free? It's showing the Premium for Family at $14.99 to get a Google Home Mini? Does this automatically get waived at the checkout screen?

It showed me that too, but I hit submit where it said it was charging 14.99 and it didn't charge it, it just took my 3 month promo and made it 2 months

It says "1 month recurring" when I get to the PayPal checkout screen...is that what yours said too?

Do you get a promo code to enter when you get to the Google store checkout? Mine is still saying $49 for the Mini?

Honestly, I don't remember exactly what it said, but it definitely showed 14.99 all the way through the payment process. It never charged me the 14.99, and when I looked at my account it showed only 2 months before the first recurring payment

Here is the link to an article explaining the process in more detail

I got an email from Spotify with a link to the Google store. I selected the mini color I wanted and went to checkout, it showed 49 bucks until I got to the actual checkout menu and it automatically applied the code.

The email with Google store link came through about 12 hours after I signed up for the service

Got me one in the Chalk color! Also, set a reminder to cancel January 31st since the plan is set to renew on Feb 1st. I'll probably just cancel it a few days earlier than that just to be safe. Thanks again OP! We have several Alexa devices, but I've been wanting to try Google's too.

I received a free Home mini when I bought an Nvidia Shield from Best Buy a few weeks ago.
