Aug 27 2020, 7:46 am. Being a Spotify Premium user just got sweeter. Because you can get your hands on a free Google Nest Mini with your existing or new Spotify Premium account starting Thursday. On August 27, Spotify and Google said they have teamed up to offer eligible new and existing Spotify Premium individual, Family, Duo, and Student accounts in Canada, a free Google Nest Mini. With a Spotify Premium subscription, you may be eligible for a free Google Home Mini speaker. The popular streaming service teamed up with Google to offer up free speakers to all new and existing. I just cancelled my Google Play Music subscription to move to Spotify for the Google Home Mini offer. I signed up for the Family plan not realizing it was eligible for the offer and want to cancel all together now to sign up for the single premium plan. First, open up the Google Home app on your smartphone and tap on the Devices button in the top-right corner of the screen. Next, tap on the menu button in the upper-right corner. Select “Settings”. Choose “Spotify” from the list. The streaming service has partnered with Google to give away free Google Home Mini speakers to all new and existing subscribers through November 15 (or while supplies last).
There are a select few that are a little less than stoked about the promo, as they've been thoroughly left out. People who are currently subscribed to a Premium for Family account have not been included in the promo, meaning they are not privy to a free Google Home Mini.
The outrage is understandable when you realize that people on the Family plan actually pay $5 more than regular Premium users.

TL;DR Spotify Premium users that are subscribed to the Family account are speaking out about their exclusion from the Free Google Home Mini deal being offered right now until May 9th.
Hey @SpotifyCares .. Premium Family subscribers in the UK get a free Google Home Mini. Why can't Canadians? #failpic.twitter.com/D6SdaYd4Hn

To add insult to injury, it seems that Spotify Premium users in other countries are eligible to claim the free Google Home Mini if they are on the family plan. It's only Canadian families that are still left out of the deal.
Understandably, Canadian families are confused and feeling let down that they aren't able to take advantage of this sweet free gift.
@spotifycanada I can't hear the music. All I hear is #crickets.
No response as to why family 'premium' accounts, although more expensive, don't qualify for the free Google home mini. #spotifail

So far, Spotify Canada has yet to respond to questioning customers, though I have a good feeling they will have to honour this deal to their Family Plan customers eventually.
Especially if they are already doing so for those customers in other countries.

Hey @Spotify or @SpotifyCares , I'm paying for a family plan in Canada. Can I still get the Google Home mini deal?

@SpotifyCares I have a premium for family Spotify account in Canada. Am I able to get the Google Home Mini offer? My kiddo would love to be able to ask Spotify to play her fave songs.

In the meantime... maybe you just switch your Family account to a solo account for a month to cash in? Just kidding.
