Cancel your Spotify or Apple Music subscription and switch to Amazon's rival Music Unlimited service to listen to millions of songs, albums, and playlists for free.
This incredible offer lasts five months, so you won't need to pay for music until early December — saving a whopping £54.95 in subscription fees. Best of all? There's no obligation to stick around after the free trial period ends. You can cancel at any moment and you won't have to pay anything for music streaming.
If you don't fancy switching to a rival service, Currys is offering a Gift Card with 12 months of Spotify Premium for £99. That equates to just £8.25 per month — a saving of £2.74 every month.
The five months of free Music Unlimited is one of several early Prime Day deals ahead of the blockbuster sales event on July 16-17. Amazon is also offering three months of its Kindle Unlimited subscription for £0.
The catch? You'll need to be an Amazon Prime member to be able to take advantage of the deal. Failing that, you should sign up for a 30-day free trial of the membership scheme to unlock either the Kindle Unlimited or Amazon Music Unlimited.
Music Unlimited isn't just about listening to albums and playlists, the service also offers access to more ad-free podcasts than any other competitor

What is Amazon Music Unlimited?
Amazon Music Unlimited is a direct competitor to the likes of Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music, and TiDAL. It offers ad-free streaming of 100 million songs in HD quality — and millions more in Ultra HD. The latter is better than CD-quality audio and offers 10x the bitrate of most streaming services.
Apple Music and TiDAL both offer lossless streaming quality too, but despite rumours swirling for the last seven years or so, Spotify has still not released an equivalent to Ultra HD audio on Amazon Music Unlimited. If you're a Spotify subscriber, that means switching over to Amazon Music Unlimited will be a boost quality.
Music Unlimited subscribers can also download tracks, albums, and playlists to listen offline. Unlike those on the free tier, there's no limit to the number of times you can skip to the next song.
Unlike other music streamers, Amazon's Music Unlimited service also removes ad breaks from some of the most popular podcasts, including the likes of British Scandal, Dr. Death, and RedHanded to name just a few.
If you decide to continue subscribing to Music Unlimited at the end of the trial, Prime members will only need to pay £9.99 per month — cheaper than Spotify, Apple Music and TiDAL, while those without a membership will be asked to spend £10.99 per month — the same fee as its closest streaming rivals.
Groups of up to six people can enjoy all of the benefits of Amazon Music Unlimited with the Family Plan bundle, which costs £17.99 per month — just £2.99 per person if you've got enough people to split it with.
