Impossible to redeem without hunting down Spotify customer support
This gift card is not worth the effort to redeem.  Get your loved ones a gift card to some other service that provides better support to its customers.<br /><br />They warn that this gift card only works for Premium subscribers, and that it doesn't work for Student or Family plans.  What they DON'T warn you is that if you have Premium with free Hulu (from an automatic promotion some time back), the gift card also doesn't work.  I had to cancel my subscription and go to the Free plan, wait for the current month of subscription to expire, then go in and redeem the gift card and sign up for a year of Premium.  Nothing on their website or in their help pages explained this to me.  I had to find and talk to customer support to find this out.<br /><br />Speaking of finding and talking to customer support...  I couldn't find them anywhere through the Spotify app or through their website.  If you go to their support site and then click on Chat it brings you to a community forum, totally misleading and disappointing.  I had to go out to Google to the actual chat support site.  Even then, I had to click through a useless help article until I could find a button to open a chat window with support.  They've made sure that if you need help, you have to go on a hunt to find them, even if you're a paying customer.<br /><br />So I waited for my subscription to expire and revert to the Free plan, and then tried to redeem the gift card, and I STILL got a very useless error message "something went wrong, contact support".  So I had to go through the above process again to get someone to help.<br /><br />The amount of trial and error, searching, talking to support, waiting, and account adjustments I've had to do, just to apply this gift card, has convinced me never to ask for this gift card again.  It's just not worth the effort.
