How to Get Free Apple Music in 2021

Without a doubt, Apple has become quite serious about its music streaming service Apple Music. Today, this isn’t just a viable alternative to popular services like Spotify, Amazon Music, Tidal, and similar – but a leader of the music streaming industry. If you’ve been wondering how to get free Apple Music in 2021, know that you’ve come to the right place. 

Before we dive in, a quick note. At the moment, there are two ways to get Apple Music for free (for a limited time). However, the following methods apply only to new subscribers. If you’re a newbie to Apple Music, here’s everything you want to know.

Option #1: Best Buy Promo (6 Months of Free Apple Music)

By far, the best way to get free Apple Music in 2021 is via Best Buy. This retailer has struck a deal with Apple, giving its customers a six-month trial, which comes completely free of charge. Here’s how to take advantage of this offer. 

1. First, go to this Apple Music listing on Best Buy. Ensure that the page is offering you free Apple Music for six months. Click on “Add to Cart.”

2. A pop-up should open, letting you know you’ve added Apple Music to your cart. Proceed to click on “Go to Cart” in the top-right corner. 

3. At this moment, you’ll see an overview of your cart. Select “Checkout” and log in to your Best Buy account. If you don’t have one, you can create one for free.

4. Once you confirm your purchase, a digital code will be sent to the email address associated with your Best Buy account. Check your inbox and wait for the code to arrive.

5. To redeem your code, visit this page on Apple’s website. Select “Redeem your gift card,” and the website will open the corresponding application on your computer. You may be asked to log in to your Apple ID. Once you do so, you’ll get to redeem your code.

Option #2: Apple Promo (3 Months of Free Apple Music)

Best Buy’s promotion gets you six months of Apple Music for free, while Apple’s promo is limited to only three months. However, we wanted to include this second method since Best Buy’s promo could end at any moment.

1. Using any web browser, proceed to visit the Apple Music page on Apple’s website. As soon as the page opens, you should see several buttons labeled “Try it free.” Go ahead and click on any of those buttons.

2. Apple Music has become available on the Web recently, so you’ll be taken to that page. Wait a couple of moments, and you’ll see an offer letting you get free Apple Music for three months. Feel free to sign in using your Apple ID.

3. Once you log in to your Apple ID, you will need to confirm your purchase. For the trial to activate, you need to have a payment method associated with your Apple ID. Alternatively, you can redeem an Apple gift card. (Keep in mind that you’ll need to have at least $9.99 on your Apple ID for the trial to activate.)

No matter which of the previously explained methods you choose, you can expect the same thing: unlimited access to Apple Music. Best Buy will give you six months of free Apple Music, while Apple will give you three months of its music-streaming service. Once your trial ends, you will be automatically charged for your subscription. (Its current monthly price is $9.99.)
