How do you claim it?

EDIT: Aha, wrong email a/c, sorted now.

Nice PSA! I don't mind being enslaved by GoogleCorp if it's free.

You’ve heard the philosophy about free stuff and you being the product haven’t you? A statement pretty much written for Google...

That is a great PSA. I have Spotify Premium, just upgraded to Family and will downgrade again as soon as the Mini arrives.

I'm going to deliberately mislead Google by loudly talking about products I don't want in the vicinity of the device.

So can I just upgrade to family for a month and then straight back to standard £9.99 a month?!

I've got one thanks, might as well as I've got a family subscription, though I've got a pathological dislike of voice commanded stuff... Probably never use it and sell on... Unless you can change the wake up from O K Google to F U Google...

I refuse to let mega corporations plant recording devices in my home to listen to my conversations and use the data to spam me with subliminal advertising.

What? Free? Oh ok then, cheers 🍻

This is why I don't understand these speakers being used in the inflation figures… they so clearly will end of as loss leading free (or token price) trojans… we'll probably end up being paid to have them on in the home…

£5 extra - and for that you basically get 6 accounts. Original one + 5 extra.

A no brainer for a family with teenagers! 🙂

“No brainer for family with teenagers”- even when the teenagers are now in their 20s left home/gone to uni but still using home Spotify and Netflix accounts. At what point do I ask them to pay for their own? When I draw my state pension?
Mind you grandma uses the Netflix login too...

Thanks for that, excellent PSA.
Don't begrudge paying for family Spotify anyway as a household of 5, so getting a freebie is ace.

Tempted as oldest is getting her first phone for her 11th birthday on Friday so was considering upgrading to Family anyway. Also not sure I really want one in the house though, I'm not even happy with her having a phone! But you can't fight progress, I guess, maybe....

Had one, got rid of it. But since we already have premium might as well have another and get rid of it too.

Has anyone got theirs yet? Mine was due for delivery today but status has now changed to

Your delivery was delayed. We're working to get it to you soon and will email you when it's on its way

Is this Googles Mint sauce keyring?

Dunno when mine was scheduled to be delivered, but now showing the same delayed message.

Hopefully this won't turn into the great Belkin short fiasco!

@davosaurusrex Found it to have really poor sound quality and notably more flaky than the Alexa we had.

It came free with a Google pixel phone. Maybe they've improved a little now.

Thanks for the reply though 👍

Did some arrive without email notification?
I'm a premium member and got a 'we will email when available' message when I went on Spotify..

I don't think I've had anything through Spotify.
I have had an e-mail update through gmail & then i got a despatch notification through Google Assistant, and have now had text from Royal Mail to say they are delivering it.

You should be able to check the original confirmation e-mail and click on an order status link to see whereabouts yours is in the process....

This is exactly what I did. I'm looking forward to having another thing to shout at apart from the kids, dog and Brexit news on the radio.

Mine arrived today, thanks for the PSA op.

I only have "Hey Google, pull my finger" in my amuse the kids locker at the moment so what other entertaining commands have you got.

I too keep getting the message that I am no able to redeem at the moment.
Is there a way round this??

Mine is in the kitchen and generally plays the radio. Or sets cooking timers. The new free one is going in my bedroom to be used as an alarm.

Ours arrived yesterday. By teatime the eldest FledglingOx (6yo) had already figured out he can ask Google how to do his maths homework. Youngest (1yo) is hugely frustrated that his version of "hey Google", which sounds something like "RA RA GA EEEEeeeee", doesn't do anything. Worth the Five Eyes intrusion into our home for this alone.

My 9 year old boy was almost wetting himself with excitement when he realised you can ask Google to "Pull my finger".
If we never use it again it will be worth it for his face yesterday when he asked that for the first time.

It is the only thing/person in my house which listens to me when I tell it to be quiet.
