If you're eligible and ready to redeem this Nitro subscription on your own Discord account, you can follow these steps below to redeem the promo.

NOTE:

Step 3 - Confirming the Correct Account and Payment Method

  • Once you have logged into your Discord account, you'll see a new message asking you to confirm that you are accepting the Nitro subscription on the correct Discord account.
    • You'll see a notice saying: "You are accepting this gift as _________" 
  • If your Discord account does not have your payment information, you'll be asked to fill out your payment details. (Note: You will not be charged until the free trial ends and the subscription renews)
  • When you've filled out all the necessary information and you're ready to redeem this promotion, press the "Accept Gift" button.

Just to clarify - if you have had a Discord Nitro subscription at any point on your account and have had a Nitro Classic or Nitro Basic subscription in the past 12 months, you are ineligible to redeem this promotion.

So long as you have had a Nitro Basic, Nitro Classic, or Server Boosting subscription active on your account and you’ve never had a Nitro subscription, you will be able to redeem this promotion and replace it with the 1 or 3 month Nitro subscription.

HOWEVER, please note:
- By choosing to activate this 1 month/3 months trial, you will lose any features associated with your current subscriptions, and **you will not receive a refund for any remaining value on your current subscription**.

At the end of the promotion period, you'll be converted to a paying Nitro subscription per month unless you cancel your subscription.

How do I share my Code with a Friend?

If you're unable to redeem the Nitro subscription link, you can share this link with a friend to use instead.

Payment Info and Subscription Questions

Q: Why do I need to submit my payment info to redeem Nitro?

A: Because Nitro is a subscription plan, at the end of your free 1 month or 3 months trial, we will start your first billing cycle so you can continue to enjoy Nitro on Discord.

However, you can cancel the Nitro subscription at any time before the end of the 1 month or 3 months.

Q: Why do I see a temporary hold/charge on my account when this is supposed to be a free promotion?

A: Just to clarify, this Nitro promotion is free, however, there will be a temporary hold placed on the payment method upon activating the promotion. This is to help Discord confirm the payment method works as expected and to prevent the use of fraudulent payment methods. This charge will appear in your Discord transaction history, and it may appear as a hold on your payment method.

We immediately reverse the temporary hold, and you’ll see that reflected in your Discord transaction history. Your bank may take longer to remove the hold from your payment method.

Note: Banks will usually remove the temporary hold from your account within a few business days.

If your Discord transaction history does not show the hold released after 5 business days, please let us know at https://dis.gd/contact, and our support team will be able to investigate this issue further.

Potential Errors and Other Issues

Q: What if I didn't receive an email from SoundCloud with the Nitro promo link, even if I'm a SoundCloud Next or SoundCloud NextPro user?

A: In order to receive an email from SoundCloud with the Nitro promo link, you must be a SoundCloud Next or SoundCloud Next Pro user.

Additionally, make sure that you've opted to receive marketing emails from SoundCloud. If you've unsubscribed, you sadly won't be able to see this offer. 

If you believe you are eligible for the promotion, please check out SoundCloud’s support article here: https://help.soundcloud.com/hc/en-us/articles/360051083754

Q: I see a Sad Trombone error when I try to redeem my Nitro promo link.

A: Would you happen to be entering this Nitro promo link from the promotion into the Discord Gift Inventory or as a link within Discord chat?

If so, this is the incorrect method for redeeming the Nitro promo link, and you will see an error when attempting to redeem the promotion.

In order to redeem this properly, enter in the Gift Inventory field the unique 24-digit code from the Nitro promotion link in the following format: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

Q: I see a "Oh no! It looks like you have Nitro already" error when I try to redeem my Nitro promo link.

A: If you're seeing an "Oh no! It looks like you have Nitro already" error, that means that the Discord account you're trying to redeem this promotion on currently has a Nitro subscription so it is ineligible for this Nitro promotion.

Please make sure you're logged into the account that you want to redeem this promotion on. Or you can give the promotion link to a friend who hasn't had Nitro before.

Q: I see a "Sorry, looks like you’ve already had a Nitro sub!" error when I try to redeem my Nitro promo link.

A: If you're seeing an “Sorry, looks like you’ve already had a Nitro sub” error, that means that you've previously subscribed to Nitro on your Discord account and you won't be able to redeem this 1 month/3 month perk. However, this promo link can be gifted to a friend.

If you have never subscribed to Nitro, please submit a ticket through our support system: https://dis.gd/contact and our support team will be able to investigate further.

Be sure to include your full Discord ID and email address tied to your Discord account

Q: I see a "This gift has already been redeemed" error when I try to redeem my Nitro promo link.

A: If you are seeing a "This gift has been redeemed already" error, that means that the Nitro promo link has already been used and cannot be used again. You may need to double check if you've redeemed this promo link on another Discord account.

In particular, if you redeem this promo link using your mobile device, doublecheck the browser on your mobile device and see which Discord account you are currently logged into.

Unfortunately, once the promo link has been redeemed, the promo link cannot be re-enabled, and the Nitro cannot be transferred from one account to another.

Q: I see a "Wait a Second...Looks like this code didn't work." error when I try to redeem my Nitro promo link.

A: If you're seeing an “Wait a Second...Looks like this code didn't work.” error, that means that the link is invalid. If you've copy and pasted this link, we recommend you double check the link you were given once more and make sure it exactly matches the link sent to your email.

If you received this link from a friend, double check with your friend on the exact link to make sure that it matches the link in their email.

Please note that our support team is unable to intervene if your friend has given an invalid link and we will not be able to provide a new link.

Q: I see a "Sorry, This Payment Source Cannot Be Used for Redemption" error when trying to redeem my promo link!

A: If you're seeing a "Sorry, This Payment Source Cannot Be Used for Redemption" error, that means that the payment method you've selected to cover the temporary $1 hold cannot be used for that purpose. 

Please keep in mind that prepaid payment methods, such as Gcash, cannot be used to cover temporary holds due to the nature of how prepaid payment methods function.
