Question

What's the difference between cancelling my subscription and cancelling my account permanently?

Community Answer

Cancelling your subscription would mean ending your access to Spotify premium, the pay service, whereas cancelling or deleting your account would be close the account entirely and you'd no longer have access to Spotify at all.

Question

Is it possible to take a break from my account for 3 months to take advantage of the opportunity to use Apple Music instead - and then return to my old account with all my saved playlists, etc.?

Community Answer

Just cancel the subscription on Spotify. Spotify has a free ad-supported tier, so your music and playlists will not be deleted and you can still access them.

Question

I did NOT create an account, but my charge card is being billed. I don't know how Spotify got my charge card info. What can I do?

Community Answer

First, contact your credit card company and dispute the charges. Spotify must have a "Contact Us" place on their website -- next you should contact them and ask them for proof that you actually created an account. Either you had a serious black-out, or they made a mistake. There also might be a Consumer Protection Agency in your area you can turn to for additional help.

Question

Will I be able to use the same email to create a new account?

After deleting your own, you should be able to. You may have to wait 7 days until Spotify deletes your account permanently, but then yes, you should be allowed.
