I just tried this - I had the same attitude - at worst, I'd pay $15 for it. As of now, my term WAS shortened from 3 months to 2, and I haven't yet seen a $14.xx charge on my credit card, although it's only been a few minutes. Fingers crossed that one won't show up.
Now to order the speaker....

I'm willing to spend up to $15 to find out if she will, but not more, so it was a no-brainer for me. Still kind of annoyed she's yet to try out the Kindle Paperwhite I bought her three years ago, after promising me she'd try it if I got it for her. 
There's a theory about what's happening behind the scenes at Spotify, which is this:
Makes sense to me, and is nice it works whatever the reason behind the scenes is.
I'm cynical too, but I agree on that. Existing customers nearly always get the shaft on deals. I won't keep my sub after the trial, but the whole thing has made me think more positively of Spotify. If I ever do want a streaming music service, I'll probably go with them. |
