ChatGPT Plus is available for free for a limited time: here's how you can find out if you qualify.
Take advantage of this promotional offer and save $20 a month by getting ChatGPT Plus at no cost.
ChatGPT not only made its entrance into the realm of artificial intelligence but also sparked a revolution by making AI assistants and agents accessible to consumers who are less familiar with technology. Despite the current abundance of intelligent chatbots and applications in the market, ChatGPT remains the most popular of all. It currently offers numerous features for free, but its paid version, ChatGPT Plus, provides deeper thinking capabilities, priority during peak demand times, and faster access to new models. However, its monthly subscription is $20.
Recently, Sam Altman, CEO and co-founder of OpenAI, announced that ChatGPT Plus will be available for free until the end of May, but this offer is exclusively for university students enrolled in degree-granting institutions in the United States and Canada. The aim is to increase popularity among students by helping them study more efficiently before final exams.
As part of this promotion, OpenAI emphasizes ChatGPT’s capabilities to assist with summaries or questions based on study materials, as well as deep reasoning and brainstorming. Among the functionalities, a voice mode stands out, allowing for conversations with a natural flow, even interrupting ChatGPT without affecting the information provided.
To access this free offer of ChatGPT Plus, it is necessary to visit a dedicated page on the ChatGPT website. Users must click on "Claim Offer" and then complete a verification form on SheerID, a platform that facilitates discounts for students, entering their school or university name and student email address. If the institution does not appear on the list, a request form can be submitted, although this may take some time.
In case of difficulties, there is the option to turn to Perplexity AI, which also offers a month of free subscription to students and the possibility of obtaining additional months by referring peers. If everything goes smoothly, access to ChatGPT Plus will be free until May 31. However, it is crucial to cancel the subscription before the end of the trial period, as otherwise, a charge of $20 will apply starting June 1. It is recommended to cancel a few days before the deadline to ensure no charges are incurred. Many find it helpful to set reminders on their phones to avoid paying for subscriptions they do not wish to renew.
This effort aims not only to help students improve their learning but also to demonstrate to them that reliance on ChatGPT can be beneficial in their academic lives and beyond. The offer does not restrict the use of the subscription, so it is also possible to use ChatGPT Plus to engage in artistic trends, create and sell images, write code for a website or application, or any other activity of interest.
