Amazon is giving away three-month premium subscriptions to its music streaming service for free ahead of Black Friday.
Normally, you’d have to pay £10.99 per month for Amazon Music Unlimited, or £9.99 a month if you already have a Prime membership. The £18 family plan for up to six people to share is also included in the offer.
Amazon’s streaming service lets you listen to ad-free music and podcasts on-demand. Those growing tired of the restrictions on Spotify’s free option will also be happy to learn that you can skip songs to your heart’s delight and download content to listen to offline.
Plus, you get some neat little extras, like lossless and spatial audio, which both deliver higher quality tunes with more detail and 360-degree sound, respectively.
The Black Friday promotion comes just ahead of the festive season, making it a great deal for those looking to soundtrack office parties and Christmas dinners with the dulcet tones of Bublé and Mariah.
How to get Amazon Music Unlimited for free
Amazon is essentially upping its free trial for Amazon Music Unlimited from one month to three months for a limited time.
The offer kicked off on November 13 and ends at midnight on January 12, 2024. While it’s only available to new subscribers, there’s nothing stopping you or someone you live with signing up for a new account.
To grab the offer, just head to this page on the Amazon UK site, and sign up to either the individual or family plan. After the trial period ends, Amazon will automatically bill you for each month, so make sure to cancel beforehand if you want to avoid unwanted charges.
What is Amazon Music Unlimited?
Then again, you may decide to keep your subscription. If that’s the case, you should know what your options are.
Amazon Music Unlimited currently has four different subscription plans, including an individual plan, family plan, a £4.99 per month single device plan for Echo or Fire TV, and a £5.99 per month plan for students. The prices are in line with those of other major streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music.
However, Amazon Prime members can also access a modified version of the service as part of their existing subscription. Although you can still listen to the entire library of 100 million songs and podcasts sans ads, you can’t just choose any track and press play as it’s all shuffled. Think of it like free Spotify without the adverts.
In addition, Amazon Music has a completely free tier for non-Prime members with ads and restrictions to playback.
