Buying digital music online as a gift has traditionally been about using services that allow you to download audio files such as at Amazon or the iTunes Store. However, not everyone wants this. A growing number of music fans these days prefer to use a streaming music service so they can access an almost limitless supply of audio just about anywhere.

If you know someone who prefers streaming music, sending them a Spotify Premium subscription could be the perfect gift. Even if they have a free Spotify account, they'll appreciate the superior ad-free experience a Spotify Premium subscription delivers. If they aren't already familiar with Spotify, introduce someone to the joys of unlimited streaming by giving them a Spotify Premium subscription.

How to Send a Spotify Premium Subscription as a Gift

If you have a Spotify account:

  1. Go to the Spotify website.

  2. Click Log In near the top of the screen and enter your username and password.

  3. Click Log In.

  4. Scroll to the bottom of the web page and click Gift to open the Spotify Premium gift screen.

  5. Select the amount of subscription you want to send by clicking one of the tiles. You can choose 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months.

  6. Select one of the color themes for your gift card by clicking on it.

  7. In the Order details section, fill in your email address and the recipient's name and email address. Select a delivery date and add a personal message. Click Continue.

  9. If all looks good, click Continue.

  10. If you elect to pay by credit card, you see a Confirm Purchase screen where you can view the order. Check the information is correct and then enter your card details.

  11. Click Confirm Payment. If you chose PayPal, you see a different screen where you log in at PayPal.

  12. In the screen that asks if you want to print or email the card you've just purchased, click either Print or Send as Email – or both. Your email will be sent on the day you specified.

Tips

  • Spotify Premium gifts only work in the country where they are purchased. For most people, this isn't a problem, but remember you can't send a gift to a person in another country – the codes are country specific.
  • The gift card you send is valid for 12 months from the date of purchase. It is not redeemable in conjunction with other discounts or promotions.
