Spotify Free Mini Hub
For those that do not want to purchase a Google Home Hub in order to get a free Mini, Spotify is also giving away the tiny speaker to those that subscribe to its Premium for Family plan.
Remember when Spotify started giving away free Google Home Mini smart speakers, but only in the U.S.? The good news is the streaming giant is now holding the same promotion only this time it’s for U.K. users!
Until May 14, any new or existing users with a Premium for Family Plan (14.99 pounds a month) can claim a free Google Home Mini. The smallest member of Google’s smart speaker family usually costs 49.99 pounds.

To get the ball rolling all you need to do is head here and click the “Get Started” button. From there you’ll need to log into your Spotify account and then be redirected to the Google Store.
After logging in with your Google account you’ll be able to pick between either a Chalk or Charcoal speaker (Coral and Aqua aren’t included in the promo). The full price is then discounted at checkout.
The offer is only available to the primary account holder, so you unfortunately can’t grab one for every Family Plan member.
The offer is also only available “while stocks last,” so be sure to act fast if you want a free speaker. I’ve just redeemed mine and the delivery estimate is 21-25 March so it seems you won’t have to wait very long until your new Google Assistant-powered speaker arrives.

The timing of the offer is especially interesting as Spotify continues its war of words with Apple over alleged antitrust violations. It seems as though the streaming firm is happy to get into bed with Google during the whole spat, because of course Google has never fallen foul of antitrust concerns. Yes, that was sarcasm.

In brief: Spotify's partnership with Google last year must have been a hit as the streaming music giant is bringing it back once again, this time for listeners overseas. Spotify Premium for Family primary account holders in the UK have until May 14 (or while supplies last) to claim their free Google smart speaker.
Spotify late last year launched a promotion in which Spotify Premium for Family master account owners could score a free Google Home Mini smart speaker. The offer, which was only extended to US listeners, has long since expired but is back for a limited time with a twist.
From now through May 14, Spotify Premium for Family primary account holders in the UK can also take advantage of this promotion. Both new and existing primary account holders are eligible to redeem the speaker from the Google Store, we’re told.
Spotify Free Mini Hub Apps
Spotify Premium for Family grants the primary account holder and up to five additional family members access to their own unique Premium account. Any users that already have Spotify will be able to retain their saved music, playlists and recommendations when joining a family plan.
Spotify is gearing up for a major fight with streaming rival Apple who is hosting a press event later this month to announce a new streaming video subscription service that could be paired with Apple Music. Last week, Spotify bundled Hulu with its Premium tier at no extra cost. Giving listeners in the UK a free Google Home Mini is being seen as yet another way to boost its paying member count before Apple’s new offering is announced.
