Update (Sept 2026): This offer ran from January to March 1, 2026 and has now ended. I’m leaving the post up so you can see how it worked - and I’ll update here the moment LinkedIn or Microsoft brings it back! ⚡
So you know that LinkedIn is giving away Premium to students... 🙌
...but, alas, Microsoft is making it hard to actually get it! 🤦♂️
So to help you avoid all the pitfalls, I've created a step-by-step guide:
1️⃣ Create a new Microsoft account - even if your school already granted you one (since those existing accounts seem to cause issues)
2️⃣ Once you're logged-in, sign-up for the offer
3️⃣ You'll receive an email to claim your free Premium subscription a few days later - be sure to open it in a browser where you're already logged-in to your desired LinkedIn account
Voila - fewer traps, more traction! ⚡️
Just do me a BIG favor and share with others since the deadline is February 28!!! 🙌
