ChatGPT Plus free trial (2026): the real ways to get one
There is no public ChatGPT Plus trial code. OpenAI sometimes lets eligible subscribers invite friends to a limited free trial. The help article gives 3 months as an example. It says some offers end when the promotion expires, and others renew as paid subscriptions. A renewal price is not printed. The separate student offer of 4 free months of Plus for US college and graduate students, including part-time, had a claim-by date of October 31, 2026. That date has passed, so that listing is ended.

4 free months of ChatGPT Plus for US college students: claim window closed
Save ~$80
4 x $20/mo Plus
The help article still describes the 2026 Back to School offer: four free monthly billing periods of ChatGPT Plus, then $20 per month unless you cancel. Verify with SheerID. A payment method is required and is not charged for the four free periods. One redemption. Not available while the subscription is billed through the App Store or Google Play. Existing monthly Plus subscribers billed directly by ChatGPT can claim. Canceling forfeits the remaining promo months. The article still says claim by October 31, 2026. That date has passed, so this listing is ended.
