What the offer actually is
A post going around promises up to five months of Spotify Premium free through a Microsoft Rewards fall promo: a USA IP, a Microsoft account, a Bing Rewards promo page, and a Spotify account check. That five-month promise is not what Microsoft itself describes, so this article checks the real promo first and treats five months as unverified.
Microsoft's own Rewards Spotify page says members are eligible for up to a free three-month Spotify Premium Individual subscription when they search with Bing on Microsoft Edge for three days within fourteen days of starting the promotion. It is one person per account, redeemable while supplies last, and Microsoft can modify or cancel it at any time. It is Individual only, not Family, Duo, or Student, and must be redeemed on the web. Check https://rewards.bing.com/promos/fall-promo after signing in: that signed-in page is the only version that counts for your account.
Who gets 3 months, who gets 2 months, and who gets nothing
Length depends on Spotify history, not on how often you open the promo page. Three months is for users new to Spotify Premium only, with Microsoft listing January 21, 2028 as its end date. Two months is only for users whose Premium ended more than thirty days ago and who have not redeemed a Spotify welcome-back offer in the last twenty-four months, subject to availability. Current Premium users, and recent Premium or welcome-back users, should expect no free period, even if the promo page loads.
New accounts are not automatically eligible: Microsoft and Spotify still check account history, the Rewards account, and market availability.
Step-by-step check: how to claim it
Stop if any screen contradicts what you expected. First, sign in to the Microsoft account you use for Rewards. Second, open https://rewards.bing.com/promos/fall-promo and check your Rewards dashboard for a Spotify offer. If neither shows one, the promo is not available to that account in that market for now.
Third, if it appears, activate it and complete the task exactly as written: Bing on Edge for three days within fourteen days. Fourth, check the length shown on your Spotify account, then redeem on the web and read the checkout screen before confirming. If it shows a different plan, length, or paid checkout, do not confirm.
What “up to 5 months” really means
Five months is not confirmed as a single Microsoft Rewards promo. The confirmed promo is three months for new users and two months for eligible returning users, and those are alternatives, not amounts you add together on one account. A five-month total could only come from stacking separate, unrelated offers over time, each with its own eligibility, end date, and account-history check.
So this article does not promise five months: the pages found in this check say three or two months, not five.
The USA and region warning
The promo is US-targeted, and the user's steps mention a USA IP. Do not fake your region with a VPN to unlock it. That can breach Microsoft's and Spotify's terms, put your accounts at risk, and still does not guarantee the offer will appear, because eligibility is also tied to your account history and the market Microsoft has on file for you. If it does not appear for your real account and region, the honest conclusion is that it is not available to you through this promo.
Creating a new account just to look new carries the same risk, and the redeeming account is still checked.
What happens after the trial, and how to cancel before renewal
A free period is not a permanent free plan. After the trial it renews at the normal Individual price unless you cancel, so the renewal price and date on your own checkout screen matter more than any headline month count. Prices vary by country: US sources list $12.99 per month for Individual after the February 2026 price rise, while Microsoft's Australian page listed A$15.99 per month after trial. Treat neither as your price unless your own screen shows it.
To avoid an unwanted charge, cancel in Spotify account settings on the web before the trial ends, not by deleting the app, then check the account shows an expiry date rather than a renewal date. Screenshot the offer, length, and renewal price before confirming.
FAQ: what is confirmed and what is not
Is Spotify Premium free for five months through Microsoft Rewards?
Not confirmed as a single promo. Microsoft confirms up to three months for new users and two months for eligible returning users.
Do I just need a USA IP and a Microsoft account?
No. You need a Rewards account, the offer to appear for that account, the Bing-on-Edge task done as written, and Spotify eligibility on your own account.
Is this for Family, Duo, or Student plans?
No. Microsoft's page says Individual plan only.
What if the promo page shows nothing for me?
Then it is not available to that account or market at that time. Do not pay on the assumption it will appear later.
Does the offer end on a fixed date?
Microsoft lists January 21, 2028 for the three-month new-user version. Other versions can change, so read the dates on your own screen.
Bottom line: a checklist before you claim
Sign in to your real Rewards account, check whether the offer appears, and complete the Bing-on-Edge task if it does. Confirm Individual plan, the length shown for your history, and the renewal price and date before redeeming. If your screen shows no offer or a paid checkout, that screen is your answer. Cancel before the trial ends unless you have decided to pay.
