I got a Google Home Mini for $1 (Update: No more Minis)
July 24, 2025
Update, August 25, 2025 (06:14 PM ET):It looks like the jig is up as far as the $1 Google Home Minis go. If you visit theSpotify Premium for Familypage, the site makes no more mention about obtaining a free Google Home Mini. We’ve also heard from readers that the deal no longer works.
If you missed your opportunity to get a free Google Home Mini, unfortunately, it seems you are out of luck. However, the $1 three-month trial of Spotify Premium (and the $1 two-month trial of Spotify Premium for Family) still works. Follow the instructions below to get that deal, but the steps involving the Google Home Mini no longer apply.
However, Spotify is running another deal right now which gets you a Spotify Premium for Family two-month trial for $1. This deal and the previously-mentioned deal can be stacked, which gets you aGoogle Home Miniand a Spotify Premium for Family two-month trial for only $1 — total.
What’s more, you can cancel the Spotify trial after the two months are up and still keep your Google Home Mini.
Follow along here and I’ll show you how to do it.
How to get a Google Home Mini for $1
Once you’re all set with that, you’ll need to upgrade your new Spotify Premium account to the Spotify Premium for Family program. To do that, you’ll need toclick hereand then click the blue “Get Started” button.
Now, this is where things get a bit scary. The page where you upgrade to Spotify Premium for Family will say that you’ll be charged $14.99 for upgrading. However,you will not be charged. You’ll need to enter your CC information again and all that, but Spotify will not charge you the $14.99. Instead, your three-month Premium trial will be knocked down to a two-month Premium for Family trial.
After you complete the Premium for Family upgrade, you will get two emails: a “Welcome to Spotify Premium for Family” messageand an email telling you how to get your free Google Home Mini(deal no longer works, please read the update at top of the article). Obviously, that free Mini email is the one you want to open!
Follow the instructions in the email, but the basic gist is that you’ll be taken to the Google Store where you can pick your free Google Home Mini. Just do whatever Spotify and Google ask, and you’ll get your Mini for free:
Once this is all done and your Mini order is placed, you’ll want to mark your calendar for two months from today so you can cancel your trial. If you don’t want to cancel (which is what Spotify obviously wants) just let your subscription renew at the usual $14.99-per-month rate for Spotify Premium for Family.
Whatever you decide to do, the Google Home Mini is yours to keep.
Keep in mind that the trial offer and the Google Home Mini offer are only valid until August 22, 2025. Make sure you get on it ASAP before it’s over! Hey, a Google Home Mini for free isn’t something you want to skip.
