To be eligible for LinkedIn's free Premium trial, users must meet specific conditions. If a user has previously utilized a free Premium trial, they are ineligible for another trial, regardless of whether it has been over 12 months since the last one. During the trial period, users cannot switch between different Premium plans for free.
Key points to note include:
- The free trial lasts for one month from the activation date and will automatically convert to a paid subscription unless canceled beforehand.
- Billing and cancellation dates are determined by the activation time in local US time zones for US-based English-speaking members, while other regions follow Universal Time Coordinated (UTC).
- Switching to a different Premium Subscription plan during the trial results in the loss of free trial benefits from the original plan, with the new billing cycle starting immediately. Users cannot revert to the original plan to regain free trial benefits.
