Broke college students will be the first to benefit from the streaming alliance, but we might all get a chance a cheap TV and music soon. The companies called the package a "first step" for bundles going forward, hinting at other deals in the works for the wider market. Unfortunately that promo ended April of last year. So I was using Spotify student + Hulu for 4.99 then Spotify also had a deal with Capital One that gives a 50 cash back to your account if you use a capital one card to pay for it, so in total I was paying only 2.50 for both services. The new deal is only available for undergrads in the U.S. I had an even better deal with Spotify until early last year. Spotify said it will focus its video programming going forward on popular playlists like RapCaviar and Rock This. The music streaming giant's own efforts to go visual have largely fallen flat since being introduced in 2015, and top exec Tom Calderone departed from the company last month (he was quickly replaced by former Disney exec Courtney Holt). Spotify never partnered with a video platform before joining up with Hulu.
