Oh and the only way we found out about this was after she scratched off the code cover and was denied the ability to use it, so we had to dig around for information ourselves to find out exactly what was going on. Turns out I am the fool that wasted sixty dollars trying to get something nice for my fiancée.

There's no real reasoning behind this as far as I could tell other than preying on unsuspecting customers like myself that made the mistake of choosing to trust that Spotify would do the right thing. No student discounts or family plans, just the standard plan. Here's the kicker though, the gift card cannot be used for anything other than a standard premium subscription. Obviously the student version of premium is a way better deal. The student plan also currently includes subscriptions to Hulu (with ads) and Showtime. Of course she had to set up a Spotify account, so she does and she starts the student premium plan which currently is offered with a free three month trial, after which the plan is only five dollars a month versus the standard premium plan which charges ten dollars per month. I bought this for my fiancée for Christmas and gave it to her early as I do with so many presents, because I'm just so excited. You'd think that, like nearly all other gift cards, you could use this thing flexibly right? Surely if you give this to your kid in high school, or your college roommate, or your mom or dad, they could get more bang for their buck when using it in conjunction with the student version of premium, or the family plan.
