He lost me after the first word “lol”. People who the start with that has a losing argument
It certainly isn't very compelling.

Companies count on customers forgetting the date they have to cancel before paying.

To me, it's not worth trying to keep track of these free offers.
You can cancel it immediately after getting it and still have the free trial and it won't charge you. And honestly ... you have an iPhone. Just set a reminder for when the trial ends. This isn't rocket science. That's why we have phones ... to keep track of things we might forget. o_O
 
I only got a month, since I had already done the 3 months when it first came out.

I used it for about two hours, and will never use it again. I actually went through the effort to transfer my Spotify playlists over too. There’s no way I’m ditching Spotify for Apple Music. The biggest feature that Spotify has over Apple Music is Spotify Connect. It’s so awesome and convenient to be able to send music playback to any device that has the Spotify app on it. I can’t believe you still can’t do that with Apple Music. You can’t even pick a new song or playlist from the Watch, if you are playing music from your phone. All you have is that now playing screen to skip a song or back.
 
When does the code expire if you don’t redeem it? I want to redeem the code after my Tidal subscription is over.
 
I didn’t have to download it, I already had it. No “try now” pane :(

Went to settings, disconnected from Spotify because it was the only thing I could think to try... quit, re-launched, swipe right: 6 month offer :) Redeemed, 6 months. Never took a trial before. U.S. here.

Thank you for this. It wasn't showing for me until I tried this. Got a 6 month trial now. :)

Didn't work for me. Don't have an Apple Music account under my Apple ID, I did have Shazam app before.
 
This is a great tip! Thanks :)
I tried it first with a German iTunes/App Store account and got this message:

Tried it again with a Swiss account and got one month (I had used the 3-months trial already).

(For the sake of searchablenes, the Text in screenshot reads:
This code is only valid for customers of the France, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, Taiwan, Austria, Russia, South Africa, Belgium or the United Stars.)
 
Got a free month. Immediately canceled. One month of a mediocre service just isnt worth having to remember to cancel it before getting charged. Spotify just does it better.
 
Can get the panel to show up in Shazam.

Could it be because I don’t have CC on my account?
 
I never had subscribed to  Music. The 6 months worked for me.

Guessing they are pulling the same garbage like with ATV+ where if you cancel the trial you INSTANTLY are done. Should be a law that you get until the end like most give you, and then you lose if you didn't resub. At least you can cancel with the tap of a button and not by calling and going through 4 hours of scripting to possibly be able to cancel *COUGH*SiriusXM*COUGH* That garbage should definitely be illegal!
