LinkedIn Premium Issue

Question

I was promised a free LinkedIn Premium subscription while getting my Microsoft 365 but I didn't get it.
This was the link I followed:

Kindly help me. My friends who did this, got it but I didn't. Kindly help

Answer 1

The LinkedIn Premium offer is a promotional benefit tied to a specific Microsoft 365 student campaign. In a very similar case, the issue was that the LinkedIn offer email was delivered correctly but was only visible when checking mail from another device.

Based on that, take these steps:

1. Sign in to the same email account used for the Microsoft 365 student offer on a different device (for example, a desktop browser instead of a phone app).
2. Check Inbox, Promotions/Other, Spam/Junk, and any Focused/Other tabs for an email about activating LinkedIn Premium.
3. Search the mailbox for terms like LinkedIn Premium, Microsoft 365, or offer to locate the activation email.

If the email still cannot be found after checking from another device and folders, contact Microsoft 365 Support so an agent can review the promotion status for the account and advise next steps.

To contact support, use:

• Contact Microsoft 365 Support

If the offer was tied to a Microsoft for Startups or education-related benefit and billing or eligibility questions arise, support can also confirm:

• Why any billing may have started
• Whether the subscription and associated benefits (including LinkedIn Premium) are correctly applied
