Charged More Than Once in a Month

  2. If you upgraded to a Family Premium account, your payment date is brought forward to cover the increased charges.

  3. It is also possible that you have several accounts under a Premium subscription. You can check this on the Subscriptions Page. Log into your Spotify account, and ensure you only have one subscription listed.

  4. If none of the above are applicable to your situation, you need need to contact Spotify customer service for assistance. Go to this form.

  5. Select 'Subscription.'

  6. Select 'Charged More Than Once.'

  7. Select 'I Still Need Help.'

  8. Type in your name and the details of your problem, select 'Start Chat.'

  9. Discuss with the customer service representative to get your refund.

Don't Have an Account

Why does GetHuman Write How-to Guides for Spotify Problems?

GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like Spotify in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our Can I get my money back from Spotify? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible. If you appreciated this guide, please share it with your favorite people. Our free information and tools is powered by you, the customer. The more people that use it, the better it gets.
