Want to see more job insights, take LinkedIn Learning courses, or message someone outside your network? LinkedIn offers eligible members a Premium free trial.
There was also a three-month Airtel India deal, but its claim window has closed. Here’s what you can actually use now. 
| Offer | Current status |
|---|---|
| LinkedIn Premium free trial | Available to eligible accounts; commonly one month, but check the duration shown to you |
| Airtel India: 3 months Premium Career | Expired — redemption ended August 23, 2026 |
| YouTube Premium, NordVPN, Notion and other Premium Perks | Not unlocked by the LinkedIn free trial; eligibility begins after the first Premium payment |
How to check your free trial
- Open LinkedIn’s Premium Career page.
- Select Try Career for free and sign in.
- Check the trial length, renewal date, and price after the trial shown for your account.
- Add a valid card if you choose to start it. LinkedIn requires one for the trial.
Eligibility is account dependent. If you have used a Premium trial before, another may not be offered. LinkedIn says you cannot start another free trial for at least 12 months after canceling one—and some members may remain ineligible after that.
What to use during the trial
- LinkedIn Learning: Take courses you actually need for your next role.
- Job insights: Check applicant information before spending time on an application.
- InMail: Reach people outside your connections where your plan includes credits.
- Profile tools: Improve how your experience appears to recruiters.
Pick a specific goal before activating. A month is much more useful when you already know which jobs, courses, or people you want to focus on.
The two catches
1. The trial renews as a paid subscription. Check your billing date in LinkedIn and cancel at least one day before renewal if you do not want a charge. LinkedIn says canceling a free trial ends Premium access immediately, so plan your timing accordingly.
2. The “perk drawer” is not a free-trial bonus. LinkedIn says partner offers such as YouTube Premium, NordVPN, and Notion become redeemable only after an eligible member’s first Premium subscription payment. Partner availability also varies by country.
For Airtel users: The old three-month promotion was real, but Airtel’s published redemption window was June 23–August 23, 2026. Don’t enter payment details expecting that expired offer to activate. Check the Airtel app for any new offer with its own terms.
