Custom playlists still don't appear after upgrading to Pandora Plus

How do I get to my created playlists - don't show up when I search My Collection

I have had a free Pandora account for many years and have had great difficulty pulling up the playlists I create. Under My Collection there are categories for Station, Podcast, Episode, etc. but not category for my playlists. I thought that perhaps if I purchased the Pandora Plus subscription I would have easier access. I do not. Please explain. Thanks

Hi @wontgrowup2fast

Welcome to community!

Sorry for any confusion around playlists. On-demand content, such as Playlists, Albums and Songs are only available as a Premium subscriber.

However, you can access on-demand content by activating a Premium Access Session by listening to an ad - this is what you've been doing it. This gives you all the features of Premium for a limited duration.

To view your playlist, you'll first need to activate a session, then you'll be able to filter your collection by Playlist.

You can learn more about Premium sessions here.
To learn more about each of subscription tier, I recommend visiting Pandora Subscriptions FAQ.

Let us know if you have any more questions.

Pandora Plus is a little sneaky. It's not revealed to consumers in advance that you will not be able to access your playlists on Pandora Plus. This is a pretty slimy way to treat consumers who pay for an upgrade. Is there anything more that plus does other than remove ads during a listening session? All those other injected ads are just a ploy to induce users to pay $6 more per month to get premium. Be more transparent.
