Spotify Premium free for 3 months, or not?

According to the yesterday’s MSE email, Spotify Premium users are currently getting  3 months free until June 22nd.  I have been a Premium subscriber for over a year now, but continue to be charged £9.99 every month, there’s no sign of a ‘free’ 3 months as suggested by the MSE ‘Spotify Plans’ chart.  Is this fake news, or am I missing something here?  Or is this a new subscribers only offer?

    I think the bits you are missing are that you have to be a completely new user or an ex-Spotify user returning.

    ^^ As above, you can't already be a subscriber. 

    I cancelled my premium last year and have re-subscribed to get the 3 months for £9.99 successfully.   It's a shame it's only for individual accounts though, as we had the family one before.  Even that has since gone up to £16.99 a month now.
