50% Cash Back on Spotify Premium with Capital One Quicksilver/QuicksilverOne Credit Cards

Use Spotify? If you’re one of the 50 million subscribers that use the popular streaming music service, there’s a new offer that might be music to your ears.

Recently, Spotify teamed up with Capital One, the first-ever partnership with a credit card company, to combine the best of both worlds: cash-back rewards on a subscription service you may already use. You can earn a staggering 50% back on your Spotify Premium subscription by using your Capital One Quicksilver Cash Rewards credit card and Capital One QuicksilverOne Cash Rewards credit card to make purchases. To sweeten the deal, cardholders still earn the normal 1.5% rewards rate for Quicksilver/QuicksilverOne on eligible purchases.

This new offer is for cardholders that are current Spotify Premium users or those interested in taking out a new Spotify subscription. As long as you’re a cardholder and have purchased a subscription before April 30, 2018, you’re entitled to earn back great savings.

Let’s take a look at how much you can save while listening to your favorite music.

Spotify Premium Membership Overview

Spotify Premium is a subscription service that allows users some great benefits versus non-paying users, which include:

  • Playing any song you choose,
  • The ability to download music & listen offline,
  • Uninterrupted, ad-free listening experience, and
  • High-definition sound quality.

Sound good? If so, then you have to choose which Spotify Premium membership is right for you. Here is a brief overview of the Premium membership levels and costs:

  • Spotify Premium for Students — $4.99/month,
  • Spotify Premium — $9.99/month, and
  • Spotify Premium for Family — $14.99/month.

As an example, if you purchase a regular Spotify Premium subscription at $9.99 per month with your Quicksilver/QuicksilverOne card, the annual cost comes out to $119.88. With the 50% cash back offer, you will receive $59.94 total back in the form of a statement credit at the end of the year. For Spotify Premium for Students, that’s $29.94/year in savings; Spotify Premium for Family saves a whopping $89.94/year. Those are some pretty substantial savings no matter which plan you choose!
