If you cancel or change it, <strong>you can&#8217;t get it back<\/strong> \u2014 the plan is retired. Downgrading to student pricing requires student verification; otherwise you&#8217;d move to standard $11.99 Premium.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background: #fbf5f2; border-left: 5px solid #e07a5f; border-radius: 8px; padding: 18px 24px; margin: 16px 0;\">\n<p style=\"font-size: 17pt; line-height: 1.7; color: #222233; margin: 0;\"><strong>You bought Spotify through Verizon or another carrier.<\/strong> If Spotify came as part of a Verizon or Cricket perk, the Hulu bundle rules may differ and billing runs through your carrier.

If you can&#8217;t reverify, the plan converts to full-price Premium and Hulu drops off automatically \u2014 you don&#8217;t need to do anything, but the price jumps.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"faq\" style=\"font-family: 'Georgia',serif; font-size: 24pt; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.3 !important; margin: 1.6em 0 .9em; color: #111; border-bottom: 2px solid #eee; padding-bottom: .3em;\">FAQ<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18pt; line-height: 1.85; color: #111; margin: 26px 0 8px; font-weight: bold; font-family: 'Georgia',serif;\">Will I lose my Spotify playlists if I cancel?<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18pt; line-height: 1.85; color: #222233; margin: 0 0 26px;\">No. Canceling Premium moves you to the free tier. Your playlists, saved music, and account all remain \u2014 you just get ads and lose offline listening.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18pt; line-height: 1.85; color: #111; margin: 26px 0 8px; font-weight: bold; font-family: 'Georgia',serif;\">Does canceling Hulu through Spotify refund my current month?<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18pt; line-height: 1.85; color: #222233; margin: 0 0 26px;\">No. Access continues until the end of the billing period you already paid for, then stops. There&#8217;s no partial refund, but you use every day you paid for.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18pt; line-height: 1.85; color: #111; margin: 26px 0 8px; font-weight: bold; font-family: 'Georgia',serif;\">Can I keep Hulu but cancel Spotify?<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18pt; line-height: 1.85; color: #222233; margin: 0 0 26px;\">Not while they&#8217;re bundled. Canceling Spotify Premium ends the bundled Hulu. To keep Hulu, subscribe to it directly at hulu.com \u2014 ideally with the same email to keep your history.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18pt; line-height: 1.85; color: #111; margin: 26px 0 8px; font-weight: bold; font-family: 'Georgia',serif;\">Why is there no &#8220;Deactivate Hulu&#8221; option on my account?<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18pt; line-height: 1.85; color: #222233; margin: 0 0 26px;\">Because your Hulu isn&#8217;t billed through Spotify. Manage that subscription directly in your Hulu account instead.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18pt; line-height: 1.85; color: #111; margin: 26px 0 8px; font-weight: bold; font-family: 'Georgia',serif;\">How much does Hulu cost if I unbundle it?<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18pt; line-height: 1.85; color: #222233; margin: 0 0 26px;\">Standalone Hulu (With Ads) is about $9.99\/month \u2014 more than the $6.99 Spotify student bundle that included it, so the bundle is the cheaper route while you still qualify as a student.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-family: 'Georgia',serif; font-size: 24pt; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.3 !important; margin: 1.6em 0 .9em; color: #111; border-bottom: 2px solid #eee; padding-bottom: .3em;\">The Bottom Line<\/h2>\n<div style=\"background: linear-gradient(135deg,#191414 0%,#1DB954 100%); border-radius: 14px; padding: 28px 30px; margin: 26px 0;\">\n<p style=\"font-size: 18pt; line-height: 1.8; color: #fff !important; margin: 0;\">Decide first: <strong>keep Spotify and drop Hulu<\/strong> (Option A) or <strong>cancel everything<\/strong> (Option B). Either way you keep access through the end of your paid cycle and lose no music data. Log into your Spotify account, make the change, and you&#8217;re done in under two minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 30px 0; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\">\n<style>@keyframes jddPulse{0%{transform:scale(1);box-shadow:0 6px 18px rgba(255,153,0,.45)}50%{transform:scale(1.05);box-shadow:0 12px 34px rgba(255,153,0,.85)}100%{transform:scale(1);box-shadow:0 6px 18px rgba(255,153,0,.45)}}<\/style>\n<p><a style=\"display: block; width: 100%; box-sizing: border-box; text-align: center; background: #FF9900; color: #111; font-size: 21px; font-weight: 800; padding: 20px 24px; border-radius: 14px; text-decoration: none; animation: jddPulse 1.5s ease-in-out infinite;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spotify.com\/account\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Manage Your Spotify Plan \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A step-by-step guide to dropping Hulu (or the whole plan) from your Spotify Student subscription \u2014 without losing your account, mid-month money, or watch history.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1723],"tags":[1724,1729,1728],"class_list":["post-2154","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-how-to-guides","tag-how-to","tag-streaming","tag-subscriptions"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jddaddy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2154","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jddaddy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jddaddy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jddaddy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jddaddy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2154"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/jddaddy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2154\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2175,"href":"https:\/\/jddaddy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2154\/revisions\/2175"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jddaddy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2154"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jddaddy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2154"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jddaddy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2154"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
