For 2 weeks Spotify has been unable to connect to my Google hubs despite me trying every idea Spotify agents have sent and Google testing from their end and being able to connect to YouTube etc

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

For over 2 weeks my Google hubs are not showing in Spotify. Paying for a premium service that I am not receiving.

I can connect to YouTube.

Spotify just keep fobbing me off. When are they going to admit that the problem is theirs and fix it?

User's recommendation: Keep on and on at Spotify in the hope we can jointly get somewhere.

Spotify - Review in Media category  from North Fort Myers,  Florida

My name is Doug Mara. You guys charged my account $13.58, which is kinda strange seeing I don't even have an account with you guys.

I've never used you. I don't even know who you are, but I know I want my money back.

And get a customer service line where you can talk to somebody. This is ridiculous.

My account was canceled December 29, 2025. Spotify is still taking money out of my account. I do not have Spotify account as of December 29, 2025. Spotify has been stealing money my bank is in dispute

Updated by user Apr 19, 2026

I canceled my account in December 2025 with Spotify. I do not have an account anymore.

I don’t even have the app on device Spotify is still taking money each month from January to April out of my account. Please refund my money back to my account. I do not have an account with Spotify. I don’t know how Spotify is going in my account taking money for an account that I don’t have that I don’t use.

My bank is in dispute with Spotify to return my money to my account. Spotify is still in money from my account to this day, so no I wouldn’t recommend Spotify to my friends or my family because Spotify will steal your money.

I never got my refund Spotify is a bona fide scam. They take out money without your permission never use Spotify. I will never use them again.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Spotify deducted money automatically after the card was turned off.
  • - Charges occur even with brief use, and they advise not to use the service.

I got Spotify, so when I went hunting, fishing, or took a trip, I could turn it on and enjoy my music. But they take money out when they feel like it.

I even turned off my card to keep Spotify out of my account, but they have some sort of automatic money deducting machine that keeps hitting my card no matter what. If I turn it on for an hour, they get money out of it.

Never use this company. It's a big rip-off.

Loss:
$100
Cons:
  • I turned my card off and i would turn it on and forget to turn it off to keep spotify out of it
  • And they would hit it as soon as i turned it back on rip off

User's recommendation: never give them your credit card

AI Highlights
  • - Songs are saved in email; attempting to play opens Spotify.
  • - Spotify says this track can't be played right now and isn't available on your device.

I'm in a band. I save my songs in my email.

But each time I try to play my songs, it goes straight to Spotify. I don't have a problem with that. But when I try to hear the songs, the Spotify message reads, 'Spotify can't play this right now.' This track isn't available on your device!

Yet the other songs I've arranged play? What's the deal?

Cons:
  • I want to hear my songs that i have written

Preferred solution: Fix the issue!

I signed up for Spotify full service,...

AI Highlights
  • - Cancellation requested after losing phone and email access.
  • - Please confirm cancellation receipt to stop charges; data and Spotify music were lost.

I signed up for Spotify full service, and my phone took a dump. I lost all my information, pictures, and Spotify music and had to erase and reset my phone.

Due to this, I have requested a cancellation of my account with Spotify, as I cannot get my email back and get in touch via the email I signed up with. How can I be sure you received my request for cancellation for you to stop any and all charges from my account?

Loss:
$16
Pros:
  • Variety of music

Preferred solution: I need a cancellation of the account I signed up with on Spotify, as I have lost my prior email nicolepowers66@icloud.com. My phone got a bug or something, and I lost that email and all my phone information. It reset and deleted all my information.
