Spotify Refund: How to Request It

Spotify says canceling Premium normally leaves it active through the paid billing period rather than refunding that period. Spotify cannot refund store-bought gift cards or partner-billed Premium payments; audiobook top-ups and podcast fraud have separate eligibility rules, so identify the product and seller before filing.

Spotify refund request steps

Use Spotify refund policy for this Spotify refund request workflow, and save the resulting confirmation or case reference.

  1. Identify product and seller

    Separate Premium, audiobook hours, podcast subscription, gift card, and partner billing.

  2. Review the matching rule

    Premium period, audiobook top-up, and podcast fraud are not evaluated the same way.

  3. Submit to the owner

    Use Spotify for eligible Spotify-controlled products and the partner or retailer for its payment.

  4. Confirm Premium status

    Cancel future Premium renewal separately and save the next billing or Free date.

Choose the correct Spotify path

For Spotify, the purchase channel, account type, or event determines which refund request path applies.

Premium subscription

Cancellation normally preserves Premium until the billing period ends.

Partner-billed Premium

The partner shown under Your plan handles refund requests.

Store gift card

Spotify directs the customer back to the retailer.

Audiobook or podcast

Use the separate product rule, including unused top-ups or fraud conditions.
