But what if you want to remove your card from Spotify Premium plan?

• How to remove credit card from Spotify (recently updated, working method);
• Changing card vs. getting rid of Spotify Premium plan;

Removing Card vs. Canceling Spotify Premium Subscription

It’s not the same to cancel Spotify Premium as updating your Spotify subscription.

Of course, you can cancel Spotify Premium subscription if you decide to permanently remove your card, but if you want to change credit card info, it will work this way:

• If you cancel Spotify subscription, you will stop getting features such as ad-free listening and the ability to download songs;
• If you remove your credit card entirely, the subscription will cancel when the next billing cycle hits;
• If you remove your credit card but add another one, your payment option will automatically renew the next time the platform needs to charge you for the service.

Step 1: Log In to Your Spotify Account

Firstly, you need to access your Spotify account from the website version of the app.

You don’t need to go to “Manage Subscriptions.” You only go to Manage Subscription if you wish to cancel Premium or change your plan once and for all.

Step 2: Go to Account Page Overview

After you log in to your Spotify account, you will be directly redirected to Account Overview.

On this account page, you will see the current status of your Premium Subscription as well as your Spotify account information.

Step 3: Select “Update Payment Method”

Scroll down to the bottom of the Account Overview page, and you will see your credit card information.

Next to it, you need to tap on the button that says “Update.”

This will redirect you to a new tab where you can set up a new payment method or remove card if you please.

Step 4: Change Card Details and Update Credit Card Information

Finally, in order to remove credit card, you need to either entirely delete it, or enter the details of another card.

Among the payment options you have here, you will also find PayPal to be a great option.

Choose any other payment method, and there you go - that’s how to remove credit card from Spotify!

What Happens After You Update Credit Card Information on Spotify?

So, you have just learned how to remove credit card from Spotify, but what will happen next?

Will your subscription expire, or will you go back to the Free version temporarily?

1. Spotify Won’t Cancel Premium or Change Your Plan

Worry not - when you remove credit card from Spotify, your Premium Subscription will still be there.

Therefore, you won’t downgrade to the Free Spotify version - continue enjoying all Premium features!

2. Your Spotify Subscription Will Automatically Renew

That’s right - you will get a message in your account tab telling you that automatic renewal of your subscription will continue if you change credit card from Spotify.

Your new payment method or card will be charged in the following billing cycle, so your perks will not be canceled in your account.

3. Spotify Will Get Your Previous Credit Card Information Removed

If you wish to use the credit card that you just removed, you are free to do so, but you need to manually input its details again.

Hence, Spotify won’t keep any track of this deleted card.

Keep in mind that if you entirely remove the card and don’t use a new one on Spotify, your subscription will cancel once the billing day comes.

So, if you don’t want this to happen, you better remove the old card and put a new one instead. That will be all for now!
