Hi,

I signe dup for Microsoft Office 365 (using my personal gmail ID) and verified my student status (using my university ID). My Linkedin account is linked to my personal gmail ID and I am supposed to get free LinkedIn premium along with my Microsoft Office 365 subscription. How do I activate that?

Hello !

After activating your Microsoft 365 offer, you will receive an email containing a link that will allow you to activate your 12 months of LinkedIn Premium.
This email may take up to 7 days to arrive. Once you receive it, simply click on the link and log in to your LinkedIn account. Even if the email addresses for your accounts are different, it will still work.

Please let me know if you have any other question !

Hello. Thanks for this information. I have a question here. Am i going to get the mail on student account, or the account used to redeem the premium features? It's been three days since i redeemed the premium features, maybe i can wait for couple of days more. No rush.
thanks in advance.

To activate your LinkedIn Premium subscription that comes with your Microsoft 365 subscription, you typically need to follow these steps:

Check Eligibility: Ensure that your Microsoft 365 subscription includes the LinkedIn Premium offer. This is usually available for students who have verified their status.
Access LinkedIn: Go to the LinkedIn website and sign in with the same personal Gmail ID that you used for your Microsoft 365 subscription.
Claim Offer: Look for any notifications or banners about the LinkedIn Premium offer on your LinkedIn homepage. If the offer is available, there should be an option to claim it.
Follow Instructions: Follow the on-screen instructions to activate your LinkedIn Premium subscription. This may involve confirming your student status again or linking your Microsoft account.

If you do not see the offer, you may want to check with your university's IT department or Microsoft support for further assistance regarding the integration of your Microsoft 365 subscription with LinkedIn Premium.
