Apple Music free trial eligible for new product purchases?

I have received free trials for Apple Music in the past for purchasing a new eligible Apple device such as a new phone or AirPods. I don't believe I have ever purchased Apple Music but instead, cancel before the end of the free trial. My last one ended on May 26, 2023.


This past week I purchased a HomePod mini from a certified Apple reseller (but not directly from Apple.). In trying to activate Apple Music's free trial, I find no such offer. A chat with Apple Support did not help very much, with the final statement "Your device is not eligible for the free trial" despite my providing a screenshot of Apple's offer from their online store.


Is it still possible to redeem a free trial with purchase of an eligible Apple device? What would explain my lack of eligibility?

That offer is only available to new subscribers. Since you previously had an Apple Music trial, you aren't eligible.
