No credit card details required.

Steps -
1. Go to this website: my.visualstudio.com

    Nice ! Do we need to give credit card and then later cancel or is it a no payment method required trial?

    • Taegukgi on 17/01/2019 - 11:14

      No credit card details required. I better add that to the OP.

      • tempura on 17/01/2019 - 11:50

        This is the clincher for me; once it pass 3 months, it'll just revert back to normal right?

        • Taegukgi on 17/01/2019 - 11:52

          From the T&Cs -

          After the promotional trial period, your subscription to the LinkedIn service identified below will automatically be cancelled unless you choose to purchase a subscription.

          I take this as meaning it reverts back to basic. Don't take my words as gospel though.

            @Taegukgi: But what's worst thing could happen? they don't store your credit card details, so there's no way of charging. I guess nothing.

    Excellent. Now I can look at who's stalking me

  • Acherny on 17/01/2019 - 11:22

    Nooo. I literally just started my premium trial a few hours ago.

    • AussieMark on 17/01/2019 - 11:43

      It still worked for me

    Great deal! Thanks op.

    I think LinkedIn has really screwed their pricing strategy for non-business development/recruiter premium. I would be a continuous subscriber if it was priced at $5-10 bucks a month, instead of $30+.

    • FreeAsABird on 17/01/2019 - 15:29

      Perhaps most people only use LinkedIn premium when they're job hunting, which could last only 1 or 2 months. If they know this, then they might price it higher to capitalise. But yeah, offering 12 or 24-month subscriptions for much cheaper would be useful

  • 0FoxGiven on 17/01/2019 - 11:25

    So the code would be for the particular Microsoft account linked-LinkedIn account only?

    EDIT: I just want to know if I will be able to get a 3 month trial on my gmail account which I use on LinkedIn, using this method

    • Taegukgi on 17/01/2019 - 11:28

      Yes. That's what I did.

    I made the mistake of subscribing to free trial through the apple app store and forgot to unsubscribe. Didn't use it once and got a $42.99 charge the next month!

    Just remember to unsubscribe.

    • JohnSy on 17/01/2019 - 12:00

      Apparently premium automatically cancels after the 3 month term. Its a prepaid (for $0) 3 month subscription.

    • jrjr on 17/01/2019 - 12:04

      Just a heads up you can cancel apple account subscriptions straight away and still use it until the end of the trial period

            @chriise: So in effect, you can log out of your linked in account and stalk others (so long as their account settings aren't completely private)?

            • JoeSoap on 17/01/2019 - 16:32

              @datzed: don't even have to logout they have a private mode as well

              • datzed on 17/01/2019 - 18:25

                @JoeSoap: but how can they see who you are during your stalking if you're not logged in?

    • TheLurker on 18/01/2019 - 09:44

      Premium unlocks limits to searches. This offer posted does not include that feature.

      After a lot of name and company searches in the last month for work, I've hit the limit so only 3 results are shown per search. I hoped this subscription deal would solve it, but it looks like it's premium for learning side only. Seeing who stalked you is included, which most people want.

  • Daabido on 17/01/2019 - 11:50

    • AussieMark on 17/01/2019 - 12:13

      It basically makes you a better version of yourself and allows you to msg anyone directly through a secret network

      Can even msg Richard Branson etc

  • db87 on 17/01/2019 - 12:14

    Cheers! Have wanted to be a paid member but like others, it's just too steep for my industry. Good lengthy trial while I'm unemployed should be great! đź‘Ť

  • CptnObvious on 17/01/2019 - 12:22

    Does this mean I need to tie my linkedin to a MS account that the code is associated with?

    • cheaponos on 17/01/2019 - 12:42

      Nope. I was logged in to LinkedIn with a different account to what I use with my MS one and it just upgraded to premium.

      • slosh on 17/01/2019 - 12:44

        Same here! Just have linkedin logged in with a different account and it will upgrade to premium with no issues! :D

      As I've paid for premium before, I think normally its here under manage premium account on the right.

      But looks like with this code it just says you're on a prepaid account. Normally you can see you're billing history and if you're on a free trial how long its for. But this didn't request for a credit card so maybe its different.

      • xc on 17/01/2019 - 17:37
