GRAPHIC APPAREL SHOPIf you’re a student eager to unlock premium tools for free, the Perplexity Pro Student Referral Program is your ticket. By simply inviting your classmates and friends, you can extend your access without spending a cent, all while helping peers tap into top-notch AI-powered study resources.
Signup With Your .edu Email For A Free Year
When you install comet and signup for a pro account you can select to use a student or teacher account and simply entering your .edu email will activate your free year. Confirmed students in the SheerID platform can earn additional rewards through referrals.
How the Referral Program Empowers Students
Verified students are at the heart of this initiative. Share your unique referral link, and for every friend who signs up and completes SheerID verification, both of you receive one complimentary month of Perplexity Pro. You can refer as many students as you like, but the reward caps at 24 free months, equivalent to two years of premium access. These months stack with any current student promotions, maximizing your benefit.
Who Is Eligible?
- The program is open to current students worldwide who verify via SheerID.
- Alumni are not eligible for referral rewards.
- Referred friends don’t need to attend your school as long as they verify student status through SheerID.
- If your school isn’t listed during verification, SheerID support can help complete the process.
- Only new Perplexity accounts are valid, existing users or those unable to verify don’t qualify for referral credits.
How to Refer and Track Progress
Referring is straightforward and user-friendly:
- On web: Find your referral widget in the app’s bottom right, visit perplexity.ai/referrals, or check “Promotions” in settings.
- On mobile: Use the homepage widget for referral access and sharing.
- Your friends must sign up through your unique link; on mobile, this prompts the app download for proper tracking.
- Monitor your referrals and bonus months directly on the referrals page.
- Note: The referral program is not available on Mac at this time.
Stacking Rewards and Changes to Merchandise
Each successful referral automatically adds a free month to both accounts. These rewards combine with other student offers, so you can stretch your subscription as you continue inviting friends. Email notifications confirm when your credits are applied.
Merchandise rewards were previously available, but students had until May 31, 2025, to qualify. Those who met the deadline may still redeem items, though additional shipping or customs fees may apply. Each prize must be claimed separately, and all perks are subject to your country’s shipping policies.
Managing Your Free Months
- Referral credits are automatically added to your account after successful verification.
- Check your subscription and earned credits in app settings or online.
- If credits aren’t visible, confirm you’re logged in with your verified student email.
- Credits can’t be transferred and are linked to your student account. Graduating students must maintain a verified email for eligibility.
Important Program Guidelines
The core offer of one free month for new student verification with SheerID continues alongside the referral program. You can accumulate up to 24 months by inviting new students. However, there are no team competitions or group challenges, each student’s rewards are earned individually. Referral links must not be sold or posted publicly, and Perplexity may update or end the program at any time, including determining reward eligibility.
Share, Earn, and Learn Together
The Student Referral Program creates a win-win for students: share powerful study tools with your network and earn generous rewards for yourself. With a strategic approach and active student status, you could enjoy up to two years of Perplexity Pro at no cost—a smart move for your academic journey.
