Every Starbucks barista (who's worked at Starbucks for some number of months) receives a free Spotify subscription, for example.

Here in Australia, Vodafone (a mobile carrier) have been bundling Spotify Premium with their contracts, for example: https://www.whistleout.com.au/MobilePhones/News/Vodafone-rev...

Interestingly Apple did a similar thing with Telstra (the largest, formerly state owned carrier), with a year free on 1 year contracts.

That has now become more of a free trial sort of deal though: https://www.telstra.com.au/applemusic

NYTimes All Access subscription ($5/week) includes a free year of Spotify premium.

The most recent one I heard was a partnership with the New York Times, which seems like an odd partnership to me:

Here in the Philippines the major providers bundle Spotify with data plans. Also, a family subscription here is a fraction of what it was back home in the US (~P159 vs ~$10+)

In New Zealand, Spark (our largest telco, the ex-state monopoly) offers free Spotify with their mobile plans.

With Rogers in Canada some plans get Spotify free for 6 months.
