Hey everyone! I have been busy and currently overseas, didn't have much time for deals. Here is a FREEBIE!! deal that usually is $605.

Coursera Plus is an online training platform that offers more than 7,000 courses on various subjects, as well as preparation for certifications. Coursera is also the only place where you can do Google, Meta, AWS, Microsoft specialisations and also has a lot of University affiliations.

This subscription usually costs around AU$605 for the year - however when accessing the deal link as a new user via Mexico VPN, it is completely free as part of a promotion.

Note: You only require VPN for the sign-up / payment process - once completed, disconnect and access the subscription / courses as normal without VPN.

(Don't forget to cancel your subscription to avoid a charge in one years time).

Instructions:

1 - Connect to VPN via Mexico

2 - Access the following link (use incognito mode for better results): https://www.coursera.org/courseraplus/special/newcoursepromo

3 - Subscribe for one year. (Enter your payment details/information).

4 - Deactivate VPN and access paid courses as normal for one year.

Note: You can cancel immediately and keep the whole years access (Go to Manage Subscriptions, click the subscription you want to cancel, then click cancel subscription).

Coursera Plus is a subscription service that gives users unlimited access to over 7,000 courses, specializations, and professional certificates. It includes content from top universities and companies, such as Google, IBM, and Duke University.

What’s included in Coursera Plus
It gives you access to 7,000+ courses and specializations (which are a collection of courses that lead to a certificate) with one monthly or annual subscription.

Over 90% of the courses on the platform are available with the Plus subscription.

You have unlimited access to the training from 170+ leading companies and universities. And you can earn certificates for all of them (there might be a few that don’t offer certificates).

There are more than 15 Professional Certificate programs (including all the courses from Google) available too, but degrees and some other classes are excluded from the subscription plans.

Benefits of Coursera Plus:
Unlimited access: Users can take as many courses as they want without paying extra.
Flexible learning: Users can create a learning schedule that fits their lifestyle.
Earn certificates: Users can earn valid certificates for all their professional and specialization programs.

    Yep also got a cancellation email "with immediate effect".
    However they did NOT cancel recurrent charge though :)

    My profile still says:
    "MX$7,740 per year. Your card will be charged on September 30, 2025."

    So I was ineligible for Mexican promos but they are happy to take my MX$ in case if I forget to cancel.
    Bloody good job :)

    • kanu666 on 05/10/2024 - 08:15

      Hm, I don't have that subscription anymore - on my profile it just says that it is Cancelled, no future charges

    • Aureus on 05/10/2024 - 09:46

      Pretty scummy to charge renewal on a subscription you don't have.

      • colblair on 05/10/2024 - 12:20

        I mean… how many people here applied for a subscription pretending to be from a country that they're not in order to get it for free?

        • Aureus on 05/10/2024 - 14:02

          True, but I don't really see that as super scummy, but I am a bit bias.

    • payton on 05/10/2024 - 12:37

      It just says Inactive on mine, couldn't find a page to cancel the payment method they have on file

    Cancelled.
    Love how they all get butthurt when people use geopricing but continue to screw other people over it.

    • user6598123549 on 05/10/2024 - 05:55

      7740 MXN is about same 600 AUD who pays such money over there… :/
      I do earn a good amount and I do love their courses but I am not going to pay 50 per month…
      In fact, nobody I know pays to coursera from their own pockets. Only cases are when corporations pay for their employees to have access.

      Strange… oh well…. cya then.

  • willb on 05/10/2024 - 06:43

    Got the cancelled. Doh.

  • brightside on 05/10/2024 - 08:04

    Also received the email but still have access to a course I enrolled in and going through the catalogue it looks like I can enroll in other courses too. Anyone else getting that? (Access via app)

    • ChadHominem on 05/10/2024 - 08:51

      I can’t enroll via app, it makes me sign up for Coursera plus sub.

    • willb on 05/10/2024 - 08:58

      I can continue the course I was mid way through. But can't seem to enroll into new ones, without plus.

    • brightside on 05/10/2024 - 10:53

      Looks like i've now been removed from the enrolled course and to enroll again requires sign up. Party's over

    I completed one of specilization courses last night. The plus membership has been cancelled this morning.

    What a bad move by Coursera! Should have allowed atleast 2-3 months so we could have used and if we liked we would have subscribed. But no looks like they have enough customers

    No ones got personal 600 bucks to learn courses. It’s trying times after all.

  • ninohax on 05/10/2024 - 10:51

    Gone Gone Gone. Presume Coursera would catch on it sooner rather than later.

  • Aldrin120 on 05/10/2024 - 11:22
    Merged from Coursera Plus Subscription Cancelled by Coursera

    I got an email this morning saying that my Coursera plus subscription has been cancelled.

    "We're happy you are interested in Coursera Plus to help you reach your learning and career goals.

    However, it has come to our attention that you may have been ineligible for the Coursera promotional offer that you redeemed recently. We will therefore cancel your access with immediate effect."

    I was wondering if this has happened to others that signed up for this deal and if there is any way to get it back? I had already started the IBM DevOps course.

      I got the same email, cancelled

      You were busted by not using the VPN for the coursework …

      I have continued to use VPN to access and never cancelled the subscription (yet) and it is still working ;)

      Finished Akamai Network Engineering Professional Certificate
      Part way through Generative AI for Software Development Skill Certificate, Unreal Engine Fundamentals, Computer Forensics Specialization

      • avocatto on 05/10/2024 - 12:23

        I was also using VPN during sign up and coursework and didn't cancel subscription but still got busted. I suspect the Australian payment method and non Mexican sounding name also had something to do with it :P

        Either way, good luck to everyone else!

        • 7ekn00 on 05/10/2024 - 12:28

          Good point, I used an US based Citibank card for signup too …

          • PeeDee on 11/10/2024 - 15:13

            @7ekn00: did that help?

            • 7ekn00 on 12/10/2024 - 13:06

              @PeeDee: No idea, but still have access to the free offer …

              • PeeDee on 13/10/2024 - 02:31

                @7ekn00: Have you always been accessing it via VPN?

    • OctaviaOz on 05/10/2024 - 12:30

      Just checked my coursera subscription after reading this post. My subscription was deactivated by Coursera but didn't receive cancellation email. Did not use VPN during coursework and used Paypal

    Just paid $1 for the datacamp monthly promo.

  • fortunecookie on 05/10/2024 - 12:21

    Do we still need to cancel the subscription ourselves? Or is it already cancelled by Coursera?

  • notoriousft on 05/10/2024 - 12:42

    Not worth 600 AUD, when you can get Pluralsight or OReilly Learning for less.

  • DGrayson82 on 05/10/2024 - 15:05

    My sub has been cancelled as well obviously but I dont think its a big deal. I had a skim through some of the courses and they werent any better than whats available on Youtube or Udemy.

    • picklerick on 05/10/2024 - 16:46

      But courses that are provided by IBM and Google have some value I believe.

  • picklerick on 05/10/2024 - 16:45

    Yep they cancelled mine too

  • nuts on 05/10/2024 - 17:15

    Oh well, back to stockpiling Udemy courses I'll never partake in.

  • itsTricky83 on 05/10/2024 - 19:12

    They cancelled mine too (and and provided a discounted 50% off offer). Oh well, back to just winging my job and flying by the seat of my pants.

  • paul11 on 05/10/2024 - 21:33

    Cancelled with immediate effect No Deal!

  • instamason on 05/10/2024 - 21:33

    Cancelled. What a bunch of A-holes! 😡

  • ChatBard on 06/10/2024 - 00:53

    Anyone care to share the 50% off link for those who missed on the "freebie"?

  • Haydenjoshh on 06/10/2024 - 08:30

    Mine got removed, they now only offer 50% discount

    • Avi0001 on 06/10/2024 - 10:35

      Some peope can not digest others free subscription. They removed my as well.

  • droodle on 06/10/2024 - 09:50

    If you work in the IT field already wouldnt this come under deductable subscriptions at tax time?

    Just got a notification that I was ineligible and they have canceled my subscription, but offered me 50% off full price…

    Did anyone's access not get cancelled?

  • PeeDee on 11/10/2024 - 15:13

    Real bummer! Noticed that my subscription is inactive. Any other ways?

  • PeeDee on 11/10/2024 - 15:24

    Tried reregistering and didn't work.
