Spotify is now giving refunds to people who bought Car Thing, which they said would stop working soon. If you bought one and have proof, like an email receipt, you can ask for your money back.
Some people were upset when Spotify said it would make Car Thing stop working on December 9, 2024. Spotify said they were doing this to focus on making other things better.
People on TikTok and Twitter complained about this decision. Some even sued Spotify, saying they were tricked into buying something that wouldn’t work for long.
Spotify started offering refunds last week, but the lawsuit was only filed on Tuesday. This means the refunds weren’t because of the lawsuit, but it’s possible Spotify was preparing for it.
If you bought Car Thing and have proof, you should be able to get a refund. If you tried before and didn’t get one, you should try again.
