You want free perks. Discord partners with massive brands to give you Nitro trials and in-game items. You need to know how to claim these rewards before they expire. Companies like Xbox, YouTube, and Epic Games offer these promotions frequently. You will learn exactly where to look and how to apply these codes to your account.
Checking Your Inventory
Start inside the application. Discord hides your unclaimed rewards in a specific menu. Open the desktop app or log in through a web browser. Look for the gear icon next to your username to open User Settings. Scroll down the left sidebar until you find the Billing Settings section. Click on Gift Inventory.
You see a list of available gifts here. This page displays rewards that Discord gave you directly. You might see a Xbox Game Pass trial or a special profile decoration. Click the Redeem button next to the item. The app applies the reward immediately.
Redeeming External Codes
You often receive codes outside the app. A gaming service might email you a 24 character string. You cannot click a link to fix this automatically. Copy the code to your clipboard. Return to the Gift Inventory tab in your User Settings. You will see a field labeled Redeem Codes at the top of the screen. Paste your text string here. The system validates the entry and activates your Nitro or game perk.
Connecting Devices via discord.com/activate
Console players use a specific URL to link accounts. You need this to claim rewards tied to your PlayStation or Xbox account. Your TV screen displays a code and tells you to visit a website. Grab your phone or computer. Open your browser and go to
discord.com/activate .
This page requires you to log in first. Once you sign in, you see a text box. Enter the code displayed on your TV screen. Type the characters exactly as they appear. This process links your console to your Discord account. It enables voice chat transfer and validates any partner rewards associated with your console profile.
Linking Third Party Accounts
Some rewards require a verified connection. You must prove you own the Spotify or YouTube account to get the promo. Go back to User Settings. Select the Connections tab. You see a list of icons for different services. Click the icon for the service you want to link. A pop up window appears asking you to sign in to that third party service. Authorize the connection. Discord now sees your subscription status on that platform and unlocks the associated reward in your inventory.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
You might face errors. The most common problem involves eligibility. Most Nitro promos work only for first time subscribers. If you paid for Nitro in the past, the code fails. The system tracks your subscription history. You also need a valid payment method attached to your account to claim trials. Discord charges a temporary hold to verify the card is real. They refund this small amount instantly.
Check the expiration date on every link. Promo links expire after a set time. A forgotten code becomes useless data. Claim them the moment you receive them.
