1 FREE MONTH OF X PREMIUM — MLH Builders Week is emailing it out
X Premium is X’s paid tier — the blue check, fewer ads, and the Grok AI. Through MLH’s Builders Week (a free online hackathon week, Nov 6–12) the official swag challenge gets you one free month — a $30 value — and Grok Bot + Cursor Pro come included.
Everyone who completes the challenge gets one — it is not a lottery.

what lands in your inbox
| included | note |
|---|---|
| X Premium — 1 month | the blue check, fewer ads, the Grok AI |
| Grok Bot | the assistant, inside the subscription |
| Cursor Pro | the AI code editor’s paid tier |
| value | $30 for the month — $0 here |
⚠️ the honest fine print
- one month only — after it ends the subscription bills automatically, so cancel in time if you don’t want to pay
- the MLH team emails the promo link; a screenshot of your redeemed dashboard on the challenge page closes it out
Bottom line: real and official — it is MLH’s own swag challenge, 300+ submissions already in, no lottery, no card. Join before Nov 12 and the email does the rest.
