How to activate Linkedin Premium after Student Microsoft 365 subscription?

Question

I recently purchased the Microsoft 365 with student discount but have not yet received any further instructions on how to activate my Linkedin Premium discount as well. Can you assist me on this?

Answer 1

The LinkedIn Premium offer tied to a Microsoft 365 student promotion is delivered by email after the Microsoft 365 subscription is successfully activated and eligibility is confirmed.

From a similar case, the activation email for the LinkedIn offer was received, but it did not appear in the mail app on a phone; it was only visible when checking the same mailbox from a desktop browser.

To proceed:

1. Confirm that the Microsoft 365 student subscription is fully activated and associated with the correct account (the one that was used for the student verification and purchase).
2. Check the inbox, spam/junk, and “Promotions/Other” folders of the email account used during signup from a desktop or laptop browser (not just a mobile mail app). Look specifically for an email from Microsoft or LinkedIn about the Premium offer.
3. If the email still cannot be found after several days from activation, contact Microsoft 365 Support so they can review the subscription and promotion status:
   • Go to Contact Microsoft 365 Support or Microsoft 365 customer service and support and follow the prompts to reach a support agent.

If the offer email is located, follow the link and instructions in that message to activate LinkedIn Premium.
