Google is giving away its Nest Mini smart speaker — here's how to see if you're eligible to get one

• Google is giving away its Nest Mini smart speaker to those who subscribe to YouTube Premium, YouTube Music Premium, or Google Play Music.
• The offer is valid until June 30, and it's available only for those with active paid accounts.
• The Nest Mini is the latest version of Google's smaller-size smart-home speaker, which it announced last year.

Google is giving away its Nest Mini smart speaker — if you're a subscriber to Google's premium entertainment services.

The company is running a promotion that applies active paid subscribers of YouTube Premium, YouTube Music Premium, or Google Play Music as of May 19.

The offer must be redeemed by June 30 and is available only to those with active accounts, meaning if your membership is paused, you won't be eligible. You must be enrolled in an individual, student, or family plan and registered as the head of household to qualify for the deal.

Visit this website and log in to your Google account to see if you're eligible for a free Nest Mini, which typically costs $50 but is on sale for $40.

Unfortunately, since the deal is available only to those who have been a member since May 19, that means you can't sign up for Google's $12-per-month YouTube Premium service or $10-per-month YouTube Music Premium service just to take advantage of the promotion.

The Nest Mini, which Google released in October, is the successor to the company's Google Home Mini. Google says the Nest Mini, compared with the original, offers improved sound quality with stronger bass and the ability to adjust the tuning based on the volume level.

The Nest Mini is essentially Google's answer to Amazon's $40 Echo Dot, which is our pick for the best budget smart speaker.

It's not the first time Google's miniature home speaker has been part of a giveaway promotion. Last year, Spotify gave the previous-generation Google Home Mini away to anyone with a $10 premium account.
