Coupon codes can be used to secure advertising credits, which are used to buy LinkedIn advertising products and features, such as single image ads, conversation ads, and boosting a post. Coupon codes are converted to your ad account’s currency once applied.
When you apply a coupon code to your account, advertising charges are first deducted from the coupon value. Your credit card will then be charged once the coupon has been exhausted or has expired.
If you'd prefer your ad campaign to stay within the dollar amount of the coupon code, you’ll need to set a daily or lifetime budget and end date accordingly.
Coupon codes for LinkedIn advertising are usually offered through emails sent out by LinkedIn. There are a few different kinds of coupon codes. Some are intended for brand new advertisers and others are intended for existing advertisers. The coupon code type will be indicated on the email offer you receive.
If you haven't received a coupon code, then regrettably, you don't meet the marketing requirements for that offer. You're always welcome to purchase our services at the listed price.
You must be the billing admin on your ad account to manage payment methods and apply coupon codes. You can redeem your coupon code from your ad account’s Billing page.
If you haven’t added billing information to your ad account yet, you can also redeem your coupon code when you first enter your credit card details. You’ll be prompted to add your credit card information when you launch your first ad campaign or boost a post from your LinkedIn Page.

There are several reasons you may not be able to use a certain coupon code. Here are a few common scenarios:
-
The coupon code has expired.
-
The coupon code has already been used, either by you or by someone else.
-
Your account has previously used a coupon, and this coupon was valid for new advertisers only.
-
You’ve redeemed a coupon code in the past 90 days.
If none of these situations apply, please contact Customer Support.
The value of each coupon code varies and is indicated within the email. An advertising coupon code for LinkedIn can only be redeemed through LinkedIn's online advertising system, Campaign Manager.
There are two dates you need to be aware of when redeeming your coupon code:
-
The date you must redeem your coupon code by
-
The date your coupon code expires and is no longer worth any dollar value
The date you must redeem your coupon code by is noted within the email in which you received your coupon code. The expiration date will depend on when you received and when you redeemed your coupon code, but in most cases the coupon won't expire for a full year.
