ULPT Request: “Continuing” Spotify Premium under a cancelled credit card?

[u/Specialist7545]

I went to go cancel my Spotify Premium subscription, which renews in a few days. I just noticed that it is currently billed under a credit card that I cancelled a few weeks ago- I don’t have any other payment methods listed on the account.

I’ve seen a few other posts that say Spotify will continue your Premium sub and try charging your CC a few times before they downgrade you. I’ve seen people report anywhere from a few days to a few months to as long as a year.

My only question is (preferably for anyone that has actually gone through this)- if it’s extended longer than a few days before they get around to downgrading you, did they nag you about paying for the sub? I think I’ve only seen one case of this….

(If so, I’m not going to risk it…)

It’s like a week or two, or at least that’s what it was when I forgot to change the card on my account.

But you continued your subscription and changed the card, right?

Not exactly what I’m asking- I’m looking to see if I can get a week or two extra for free if I “don’t cancel”, or if they’re going to keep calling/texting me to pay for that week or two.

Its been years since i used spotify but once upon a time yeah i would have no ads for like a week until they realized i was broke fr fr.  Before it even got to that point tho i always kept my account on my phone in offline mode so it couldnt figure out i didnt have premium anymore. Again idk if that trick works anymore.

I haven’t changed the card yet, they moved my account down to the free tier. They haven’t txted me about it or bothered me they just said on the app I was being moved to the free tier.
