The Echo Dot is 99p when you pay for just one month of Amazon Music Unlimited's family plan

[sincity]

Amazon Music Unlimited is the mega-retailer's version of Spotify. And if you sign up and pay for just one month of the service, you can get yourself a nifty Amazon Echo Dot smart speaker for just 99p instead of the usual £49.99. There's never been a better Alexa deal on the market.

So yes, the catch to getting this super cheap price is having to sign up for another service, but considering it only costs £14.99 and you can cancel it straight away so that's the only payment you make, it's still a fantastic offer.

You might not want to cancel the excellent music streaming service though, especially as it works so well with Alexa smart speakers like the Echo Dot with you being able to simply request songs, artists and albums with voice commands. The family plan allows you to share access to over 50 million songs on six accounts to be played on smart speakers, mobiles, laptops, Fire TV devices and more. 

Amazon isn't insisting you sign up for a long period of time. All you need to do is pay for a single month after the free trial period ends. Amazon will then send you a discount code which you can use to discount an Echo Dot down to just 99p.

Amazon Music Unlimited and Echo Dot deal

The promotion for the super cheap Echo Dot runs until May 24, and once you have your discount code you have until June 30 to redeem it. You can see the full T&Cs on the promo page once you click through, but we've covered the most important parts - namely that you're free to cancel the subscription to Amazon Music Unlimited once that first payment of £14.99 has gone through.

If the 'family plan' is bit overkill for your needs, but you enjoy Amazon Music Unlimited, once you've received your discount code and ordered the Echo Dot, you could always downgrade your membership to standard version for £9.99 a month, or if you're an Amazon Prime member, £7.99 a month. Not a Prime member? Give it a go with a free trial and you can test our the super fast delivery options and film/TV streaming service too.

The Amazon Prime Day deals are coming in July with some huge discounts on multiple Amazon devices. And while it's possible that this promo might return, going off past years, we think it's more likely we'll see the Echo Dot go down to £29.99 - £24.99 at the absolute most.

And if you end up sticking with the Music Unlimited service, that might be a perfect opportunity to pick up some extra speakers to dot around the house or beef up the sound in one room.
