Why Can’t I Link My Spotify Account with Hulu?

1. "I can’t see the option to link my account in Hulu": If you can’t see the option to link accounts, it could be that Hulu isn’t compatible with Spotify in your region. Check whether you are in a country where the service is available.

Fix: Ensure you have the most recent Hulu and Spotify apps installed. If you are in an eligible country, try signing out, then signing back in and checking if the option now appears.

2. "I have linked my accounts, but the billing remains separate": You may experience billing issues even after linking the two accounts. This could be caused by an outage on Hulu and Spotify’s servers, outdated billing information, or other technical issues.

Fix: Re-link your accounts by either visiting Hulu’s or Spotify’s official website and going to the account page. Check if your billing information is up to date, and if there’s an outage, wait a while before trying again.

3. "I can’t access Hulu shows on Spotify": If you don’t have a premium Hulu account and cannot log in to your Hulu account using Spotify, you are restricted from using Hulu’s streaming services. The same case applies if you’re in a location where Hulu isn’t available.

Fix: Upgrade to a Hulu premium account or check whether your location allows access to Hulu, then try again.

Additional Tips

Keep your billing information up to date to avoid payment issues that may cause disconnection of one of the services. If any problem arises, it’s always best to seek immediate assistance from Hulu or Spotify’s customer service representatives. Finally, make sure to read the bundle terms and conditions before linking accounts to avoid surprises, as they might differ depending on the location.
