There was a great thread HERE last year but it seemed to go a bit OT.
When I bought my first Echo I got 3 months free Deezer. when I upgraded to the Echo Plus I got 4 months Amazon Music for 99p. Now being the skinflint that I am, I’m looking for another cheap deal!
So, is there anywhere specific I should be looking for cheap / money off deals or any of the services you recommend?
Your help is appreciated!

Sorry I can't help @Anonymous as I don't stream music.
Hasn't Amazon got anything to offer?

Same here @Anonymous. I tend to download tracks or complete LPs to my phone. I did stream music when Prime Music first started more out of curiousity, but soon went back to my preferred choice of downloading a song or an LP to keep on my phone and download on my Kindle Fire as well, if I wish.
I stream films and TV shows and baseball, in season. Nothing else.

@Anonymous Have you looked at Spotify, they often do trial periods and it works with Alexa.

I’ve used up the reduced price / freebies from Amazon, Apple, Google, Spotify & Deezer (unless I create another email address - ugh) so I’m just looking for deals now.
I’ve got about 70gig of iTunes music already and I’m not adverse to buying more but I have enjoyed streaming to Alexa, and wondered where to look for more bargains!

If you have Prime from Amazon (£7.99 a month), you don't just get music. You get a lot of music (approx 2 million songs), although for unlimited you need to pay an extra £7.99 a month I believe. Also, with all music you buy that are fulfilled by Amazon and marked as Prime, you have access to through your prime account. But with Prime you also get the TV/Films, free same day/next day delivery etc too. so it is worth the cost if you order a lot from Amazon and like your TV/films.

Unfortunately I don’t use Amazon enough to warrant subscribing to Prime. I think it’s just back to iTunes vouchers and buying the odd track. Pfft

@Anonymous I too don't use Amazon enough to go for Prime = it's not economic for me, although I luv getting things delivered to me via Royal Mail or courier
