Add Promo During Checkout

After you create your account, you will be redirected to the checkout page. Here you can select the number of subscriptions you wish to purchase and if you want to buy any gift subscription. To apply the code: locate the “+ Promo Code” button and click it. This will open up an input field where you will paste or type your code. Once you have entered the code, press the “Apply” button. If your code was applied successfully, the “Apply” button should turn into a green button with a white checkmark. A new line item should also appear above the promo code field called “Discount” it should show the amount the code discounts your subscription in red and discount the total amount by that. If your total did not decrease or your “Apply” button didn’t change to the checkmark, your code was not applied correctly. Please try again and contact us if you continue to have issues. Once you have confirmed that your code was successfully applied, click the “Checkout” button to continue to payment.

Note: You are unable to use Gift codes, promo codes or coupons when supporting a school or purchasing gift subscriptions. Only one coupon code may be redeemed per order.

Add Payment Details for Renewal

The final step of redeeming your code is to add payment details. If your code is granting you a free year, make sure that the total listed in the top left corner is $0.00. If it is not, do not continue to enter payment details or you will be charged the amount shown. By submitting your payment details you are acknowledging that the Starving Student App is a renewing subscription and that you will be billed the full amount unless you cancel or add a new code to your account prior to the renewal period. 

Download the App

Now that you have a valid subscription, it is time to download the app! We can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Once you have downloaded the app, you will need to login with the credentials you set when creating your account.
