Why a Russian card is declined
Spotify does not accept cards from Russian banks: when applying for Premium, such payment is rejected. Visa and Mastercard cards from Russian banks have not worked abroad since 2022, and Mir Spotify does not accept them, so you won’t be able to pay with them.
The P2D card is issued abroad in dollars and is suitable for regular subscription charges.
Paying for Spotify with a P2D card
For Spotify use the P2D virtual card “Purchases and subscriptions”. You register for Premium yourself in your account - you don’t need to share your password with anyone.
Individual month costs $12.99: after debiting and fee of $0.75, $11.26 will remain on the card. For Duo, top up your card to at least $19.74, for Family - up to $22.74.
When renewing the issue, you do not need to pay again - the main thing is that by the date of debiting, the amount of the plan and fee is on the card. Top-up via SBP with no fee.

If a Spotify payment fails
First, understand where everything stopped: the payment was declined, it needs to be confirmed, or Premium has been paid, and the application has a free version.
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| Payment declined | Check that the card covers the payment plus the $0.75 fee, and compare the card details. If they are correct, write to P2D support with the time, amount and error text |
| The form asks you to confirm the payment | Confirm the payment the way your P2D account describes, and keep the payment window open until it finishes |
| Premium is paid, but there are ads in the application | Make sure you are logged into the application under the same account. Sign out and sign back in |
| Duo or Family member did not receive Premium | He must accept the invitation from the subscription owner. For Duo, both participants must live at the same address |
| The renewal did not go through | Top up the card with the amount of the plan and fee and update the payment method on the account page |
Do not pay a second time until you have checked the first attempt. You can be charged twice. Never send the full card number or CVC to support.
