On 12/19 Google sent emails saying they would send Charcoal instead of Coral. This mainly effected those who ordered on Nov. 18 and 19 when the offer was new and Coral was the only color available. They waited a month to send a color that everyone else got weeks ago. If Coral is what you wanted contact them to let them know how poorly this was handled.

DEAL DEAD as of December 14, 2018 12 PM EST

READ THIS TO THE END BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS - (Mobile app users, click "show more")

If you're registering a brand new account:
Remember to purchase $1 premium deal before you go onto step 2 upgrading to family plan.
A few SDers subscribed family plan by itself, without buying the $1 deal for 3 months, and therefore were charged $15
instead. AVOID THIS!

Note: after upgrading to family plan, click this link to automatically place free code into Google cart. You do not have to wait for the free Google mini e-mail.
http://spotify.com/us/googlehome/redeem

NOTE: If you already have an existing Spotify Family Subscription, visit above link to redeem the speaker!
(No need to cancel account nor go through "$1 premium" steps.)

Existing family premium subscribers qualify for the speaker, but NOT the $1 deal nor any $15 discount. So existing subscribers must register brand new accounts for discounted price.

$1 trial price & free Google Home Mini are two separate promotions.
  • $1 for 3 months. Deal is worth $30. Price is only for new subscribers. Family premium upgrade will modify deal value to 2 months instead.
  • Free Google Home Mini is qualified for the primary account holder of family premiums (new and existing).
If your CC or Paypal was charged $1, you won't be charged $15 for family upgrade.
Spotify webpage to upgrade to family premium will state you will be charged $15, but it will NOT charge it because it will reassign the value of your $1 deal.
See attachment (below) [slickdealscdn.com] for my screenshots after every step.
Quote from After STEP① :
Premium Spotify
Your plan will automatically renew on 2/18/19 and you'll be charged $9 .99 + tax.
Quote from After STEP② :
Premium for Family
Your plan will automatically renew on 1/18/19 and you'll be charged $14.99 + tax.
Verify your charges from Spotify:
https://www.spotify.com/us/accoun...on/receipt

The logic behind the change from "regular" premium to "family" premium without being charged $15 may be:

Original $1 purchase gives you $30 value
3 months × $10 regular premium price = $30 value

Then, upgrading to family plan redistributes
2 months × $15 family premium price = $30 value

Once upgraded to family premium, the paid $1 period cannot downgrade back to regular premium.
Meaning the 2 month period cannot return to 3 month period for this $1 deal.

Log into your Google account BEFORE redeeming the reward
You must be signed into the Google account you'll be "buying" the GHM Device to apply the Reward code to checkout.
Quote :
The Spotify(R) Premium for Family Supplemental Offer
4. Redemption
... After you have received a Promotional Code, you will need to redeem it in the Google Store. You must be aged 18 or older. Promotional codes cannot be used with Guest Checkout, so you must be signed-in to your Google account to redeem the code and you will need to have or add a form of payment at checkout. Promotional Codes may not be exchanged for cash or used in connection with any product other than a GHM Device. Promotional Codes must be redeemed on or before 15 January 2019 or they will expire.
CANCELING SUBSCRIPTION RENEWAL

  1. You can cancel immediately after receiving shipment confirmation. (May be able to cancel earlier: https://slickdeals.net/f/12280186-new-spotify-premium-members-3-month-subscription-google-home-mini-1-free-shipping?p=122872486#post122872486)
  2. This will not void your currently paid $1 for 2 months of family premium.
  3. This only cancels automatic payments of future subscription renewals.
BONUS OFFER when you activate your Google Home Mini:
https://store.google.com/product/..._home_mini

Buying other (sale) items from G. Store in same order (and still get FREE SHIPPING):
Chromecast Audio (CCA) is on sale in the G. Store for $15 (normally $35). Free shipping for orders > $35. Cool BUT if you add additional items from the G. Store BEFORE checking out, the Spotify reward may disappear. Mad
  1. After adding GHM Device to cart, click Checkout.
  2. On Checkout page, verify that your Spotify Reward (-$49.00) is displayed, and shipping cost is $0.00. Now search for "chromecast audio" (or whatever you want).
  3. On the CCA product page, click Add to cart.
  4. Click Checkout again.
  5. Verify that the Checkout page still indicates -$49.00 for Spotify Reward, and now shows -$20.00 for CCA sale (or any other sale items).
  6. Shipping should still be free. (Note: G. Store is currently offering free shipping on orders > $35.00, but with the Reward and sales, your total may be < $35.)
  7. Continue checkout, providing a payment method, and submit order.
  8. Review your order confirmation. Shipping should show $0.00. Win! Peace
(See screenshots 1, 2 of order, confirmation. )

Worked well for me, checkout from google express @ $0 for the home mini.

edit

Just use a new email if you already have spotify.

For step 3 just go through the motions it offers, it will not charge additional money (14.95) even though it looks like it might.

It converts 3 months premium (3×10) to 2 months premium family (2×15). That's why you get 2 months free family when u upgrade.
It's showing that it will charge $14.99 + tax / month. How do you know they won't charge later today or tomorrow?

Problem is Capital one doesnt let you "limit" the amount or terminate the card ? does it ?
Correct you cannot set a limit... However it is only tied to the site you generated it for and for me after the 0.99 cents was charged and I placed my order with Google used another generated one I canceled the one I generated for Spotify thus they cannot charge it anymore. I also cancelled my premium with Spotify right after ordering with Google. No problems item still ships whenever they get around to it and because of that I left the Google generated card open in case they verify address just before shipping.

Heads up: I cancelled Spotify Premium right after placing the Google order, and then Google cancelled my order. When I went to click through the free Mini link agian, it said you are not eligible unless you renew Spotify Family. So I turned auto-renew back on to get past that message, but now, during Google checkout, it says the promo code is already used (not automatically applying discount anymore). Looks like I'm out a buck and I'll have to try another email/account.

Quote from Isaiah4110 :
Fantastic deal! Big thanks and major props to the OP and everyone who contributed to the detailed information in the deal wiki. It answered all questions/concerns I had as I went through the process. I now have 2 months for Spotify Premium family plan for $1 and a free GHM on the way.

Hopefully Google's shipping estimates are on the long side and I get lucky. It would be awesome if this arrived before Christmas! (In hindsight I could have always paid for shipping to make sure it got here on time... but then I wouldn't be a cheapskate hunting for the best possible deal would I?)
Wow! Someone who read the Wiki and completed the deal without 16 useless questions! Truly a Holiday Miracle!!! laugh out loud

Seriously, though, these backlogs are starting to ship out now. Those who ordered multiples to the same shipping address are in danger of cancellation, but I ordered two to the same address and they both shipped. The key is I did it several days apart. YMMV. Also, some of the people who canceled Spotify too quickly are getting the mini's canceled. With these type of deals, it makes no sense to cancel until you are certain it shipped or it has already been delivered. You are not getting charged till the middle of January? How hard is it to wait?!

As Isaiah proves, if you followed the deal instructions this was truly an epic SD...Happy Holidays!!

Hmmm whats your reasoning for saying shipping address may cause cancellation? And the several days apart theory, where did that come from? You jumped down someone's throat when they weren't even talking about cancellations, and now you have come up with several scenarios for cancellation that I don't think you can verify.

And as for orders there are still many who ordered early who have not had theirs ship. Orders from the 17th,18th and 19th in particular, depending on color ordered.

I may be keeping this sub. I'm listening to Christmas piano and my daughter just sent me this from her mom's house.

That may mean we're keeping the family sub. Oh well, I can think of worse things to spend my money on.
And there you go. Spotify is actually a pretty good service, and it works great with the Google Home ecosystem. If only 1 out of 100 people who did this deal keep the Family Premium service for a year, Spotify will come out ahead. Google comes out ahead. We all win. Its truly a Xmas MiracleApplause LMAO

That sucks...but it seems to me you wasted a great opportunity to get even with them! If some others can be believed, and admittedly that's a big IF, you could have gotten a couple hundred of these and sold them on ebay for a nice profit. JK Peace
