Fantastic, I've been a family subscriber for years. Nice to get a freebie once in a while, thanks OP!

I really want another Mini but I'm so incredibly lazy I can't be faffed to sign up to Spotify to get one for £15. Surely they'll be on sale for £25 again soon?!

Got ours yesterday, I haven't done anything with it :/

Not really worth doing.

The main benefit is for existing members.

Stick it on eBay?

Mrs has now opened it and is using it to play Spotify...

Do you think I will be able to sign up for the Premium 30 day free trial, order the home mini and cancel the subscription before the free trial ends?

No, it's for family subscriptions not the premium subscription.

Mine is coming today - does it need to be signed for? Or will it fit through my letterbox?

Mine came in a box about 20x20cm so don't think it'll squeeze through your letterbox I'm afraid!

Cool thanks Maccy

Awesome. Thanks for letting me know about this. I was going to sign up for Spotify Family this month anyway. This offer makes it even more worthwhile as I've wanted one of these for some time.

[tin foil hat time]Hmmmm, more recording devices being added to your homes for "free" without people being concerned that Google Mini WILL record everything it hears regardless of what the company says[/tin foil hat time]

Oh look, free stuff!!!!!!!

Mine arrived about a week ago. So far I've used it to play some Spotify in the kitchen and set some timers. Amazing device!

I have mine switched off at the wall and only switch on when I want to use it.

Couldn't really care though. What do I care.

Upgraded and downgraded. Cost me £5 and my dad will use spotify for the month, so not too shabby.

Does anyone else just keep being told they can't claim right now? To be fair it's going straight on eBay as Google spy on me enough without literally putting a microphone in my living room (I know they only record when you ask them to, but they also do military contracts and I'd rather not add to their dataset - making money from getting someone else to add to their dataset is absolutely fine though yeah?)
But, rant aside, where's my free stuff?

Conscript · 7 Apr 2019 at 21:43

Ours arrived yesterday. We don't really have a need for it...we already have an Alexa, which barely gets used. So I gave the Google one to dad. He's pretty chuffed with it so far, wo thanks OP.

Hades · 7 Apr 2019 at 22:27

I was going to sell mine as I don't really have a use for it. But my son insisted we try it and he now loves it. He uses it to play music while he's playing games.

PiKe · 12 Apr 2019 at 19:12

Cheekily, does anyone have a code they don't want? I'm really on the fence with the whole smart speaker thing so wanted to try the home mini as it seems you have more free music options than the echo.
