Microsoft recently introduced the third tier of Microsoft 365 paid plans, i.e. Microsoft 365 Premium, which is a rebundle of the previous Copilot Pro Plan. Alongside Microsoft 365 Personal features, you get LinkedIn Premium with Microsoft 365 Premium Bundle for College students, which is what we will discuss in this article.
Update 25th February: Microsoft and LinkedIn have published a support document that the LinkedIn Premium with Microsoft 365 Premium student trial offer was previously available to eligible LinkedIn members in select regions, under which Microsoft issued a limited number of redemption codes that could be claimed directly through Microsoft. The campaign has now concluded, and no new codes are being distributed.
