I'm having the same problem, and I chose to create a station.  It switched from the song I was listening to and started the station.  It's still playing ads.  That should not have triggered premium.  I've been paying for this for around a year now, and I have had ads ever since.  It doesn't work any differently than my free account did.  I should get a free month for every month I had plus where it was playing ads.

@Shugar Could you confirm that you are logged into your upgraded account on your device?

Sometimes, it may help to sign out of Pandora, and then sign back in using the email address associated with your upgraded account.

If you are still seeing ads after confirming you are logged in with the correct address, can you tell me a bit more about the advertising you are seeing?

Is it for a specific brand or artist? Are you hearing them while listening to podcasts?

Let me know.

I signed up for Pandora Plus and have started a free trial. My subscription is confirmed by Google Play. Yet, I am still hearing ads. I turned off ads by artists. Please let me know what to do.

Sincerely,

John D.

@64jdunaway1111 I moved your post over to this thread since it sounds like you signed up for a subscription through Google Play: Still getting ads with subscription through Google

If you can confirm you signed up for the trial through Google Play and are still hearing ads, you should be able to use the following steps to get your subscription activated and returned to your account:

  1. Open the Pandora App on the Android device you used to upgrade, and log into the desired Pandora account.
  2. From My Collection, go to the Profile tab in the bottom navigation bar.
  3. Select Upgrade in the top left corner.
  4. Finally, select Retrieve your subscription.

This should reapply your subscription to your account for you.

If you continue to experience issues with this, you will need to contact our support team directly for further assistance.

I'm having the same problem. My premium subscription was paid using my checking account but I don't have any of the premium options available. When I click on upgrade, it shows that I have the Premium Subscription already. Very frustrating.

@ashleyhove85 I do see your account is upgraded to Pandora Premium.

Could you confirm that you are logged into your upgraded account on your device?

Sometimes, it may help to sign out of Pandora, and then sign back in using the email address associated with your upgraded account.

If you are still seeing ads after confirming you are logged in with the correct address, can you tell me a bit more about the advertising you are seeing?

If you are still unable to access any of your Premium content, can you please send me a screenshot of what you're seeing?

Let me know.

I paid through Google play to get premium and it went through may 14 but it's still making me watch an ad if I want to listen to a specific song and giving me ads randomly throughout listening. When I click upgrade in the top corner, it says that I have premium. It doesn't give me the option anywhere to restore my purchase. I've tried logging out and back in and that didn't work either.

@terryw77 This is the first message from your account I've seen posted on our Community.

I also checked in with our support team and do not see any prior history of email contacts from this account.

This being said, I do see your account was previously upgraded through Google Play.

If you were charged within the last month for a subscription to Pandora through Google Play and are still hearing ads, you should be able to use the following steps to get your subscription activated and returned to your account:

  1. Open the Pandora App on the Android device you used to upgrade, and log into the desired Pandora account.
  2. From My Collection, go to the Profile tab in the bottom navigation bar.
  3. Select Upgrade in the top left corner.
  4. Finally, select Retrieve your subscription.

This should reapply your subscription to your account for you.
