Spotify has finally introduced their student discount in the Netherlands, yay. Only problem: you can only pay using a credit card. Which student has a credit card (if he/she doesn't have rich parents)??? I certainly don't.
I guess I'll stick to paying the full price then

@Njab that's correct, it doesn't necessarily have to be related. I should have specified it more actually.
In the Netherlands, it's uncommon for students to have credit cards. If you request one/receive one, you will automatically be registered on a credit list (a list of an organisation that tracks the debts of all Dutch people) and banks will consult that list if you ever need a mortgage or a loan. This applies to other companies that give credit too. Even though it's a silly thing, it's just a credit card, companies/banks could be reluctant to give loans if you're still young, because you're not really creditworthy yet. That's why hardly any student has a credit card.
