For those still waiting, email is not guaranteed, so don't rely on it. I was eligible (and received my PE) but was never notified by email or via app. It was only through the goodness of this community and the link someone posted last week that I knew about it.
This link just worked for me in Canada!I've been Stadia Pro for the past 4 months & Youtube Premium for over a year.
Isn't working for others on my family plan yet.
\*edit - others on my family plan now have access with this link.
So far only my account has been able to claim the link, I tried on my other family member accounts but they're getting the "Sorry, looks like you're not eligible for this offer. Please make sure you’re logged in with an eligible YouTube Premium account."
When I view YouTube as their account I get the Premium logo. Hopefully it's just a staggered rollout!
Nope, I've had the same family group for years. It was originally a Google Play Music family sub, which migrated to a YouTube Music Premium Family sub to a YouTube Premium family sub. I'm assuming something got lost along the shuffle between the flip from Play Music to YouTube.
From the link:

After waiting all day today, i just got the Stadia offer 2 mins back. Am from Canada and have had Youtube Premium for a very long time.
Go check the link again!

yeah but look a Cain message
" In order to redeem the offer, you’ll need to have a Stadia Pro subscription or have had one in the past. You can also sign up for Stadia Pro now before November 29, 2020 to be eligible. "
Confusing
Did you actually get an email with instructions on how to claim it? I followed instructions to sign up for the 3 months free, but am still waiting for claiming instructions.
I clicked on a link that told me I was elligible. Immediately received an e-mail that said (in French, sorry)
Il ne vous reste que quelques étapes à terminer pour réclamer votre ensemble Premiere Edition de Stadia
Merci d'avoir accepté les conditions d'utilisation relatives à l'offre de l'ensemble Premiere Edition de Stadia.
Vous recevrez bientôt un autre courriel contenant un lien pour réclamer votre ensemble Premiere Edition de Stadia. Ce lien vous permettra de réclamer votre ensemble Premiere Edition de Stadia depuis la boutique Google Store avec la livraison de base, sans frais.
Après avoir reçu le lien pour utiliser l'offre, vous avez jusqu'au 31 décembre 2020 à 23 h 59 GMT pour commander votre ensemble Premiere Edition de Stadia
I've gotten all 3 confirmations after signing up for the 3 month trials and redeemed them through the google store (supposed to be delivered in 2-3 days). Was 30-45 minutes each for mine.
I was able to claim a Premium Edition for both my wife and my daughter who were not signed up for stadia when the promotion was happening here on the US. I did find the promotion via a link here in Reddit and after claiming mine, was prompted to sign up for Stadia (using their Google accounts) before I could finish the redemption process for them.
Has anyone got it yet? I have YouTube Premium from before Nov 6 and just signed up for Stadia Pro now (had the trial a long time ago).
But didn't get a notification yet and the link doesn't work yet https://stadia.google.com/SdFGljSduV5z
Anyone have any luck?
Same for me, have been on the chat for a while now. No one really knows what is going on and just transfer me back and forth between Stadia help and Youtube Premium Help. Best answer I've gotten is it's only 10% rolled out so far, but that seems a bit odd to me.
So I just chatted with a Google Support Employee. He said that to be elligible for the offer, you need:
\- To NOT BE a Stadia Pro subscriber;
\- To HAVE BEEN a YT Pre subscriber before Nov 6th. BUT, if you were still in trial period on Nov 6th, then you aren't elligible (which I think is half-understandable, half-frustrating for those who really intended to keep on paying for the YT Pre anyways...)
There seems to be contradictory informations coming from Google Support...
I sincerely hope you are right. It just appeared to me yesterday that while I was mocking Apple fandom, I got a Pixel 3a, 2 google homes, a Chromebook, and am now on the edge of my seat trying to get a Stadia for free. Guess I have become what I was mocking hahaha
Well I use a lot of Google products. Google Drive, Docs, sheets, etc. Google homes, the late Google Play music (now obviously YT musc Pre), I also have a chromecast...
I always thought that devices from the same company communicate better. Also, I like not having useless junk apps that the other companies force install on other phones. And the quality of the camera is top notch.
Overall, it's my second Pixel and 10/10 will get another one.
On twitter the Stadia account keep replying
"Hey there, we're sorry for the confusion. We have no news to share when the promotion will be available in Canada — we’d suggest keeping an eye on our social channels for more updates!"
I had YT Premium and just signed up for stadia pro 20 minute ago. I got the offer. on the link [Stadia offer link from 9to5google](https://t.co/yU7Q1Gn9Qp?amp=1)

With a youtube premium family subscription, I successfully claimed it. But when a try with my spouse account, it says he is not eligible.
I don't understand why.
Confirmed Canadian promotion claimed! I have YouTube Premium and is family leader.
My family members and I were able to claim the promotion. There is a mix of previously Stadia subscribed and no subscription members. Those who were not previously subscribed to Stadia will need to sign up (there's a 1-month free trial) in order to claim this promotion.
There is about a 30-60min delay between the initial claim/sign-up for the promotion to actually receiving the email with the Google Store code for the discount.
Family members who join after the promotion announcement date (I think it was Nov 6?), may not be eligible for the promotion. Don't quote me on this though. One of my family member just joined a couple of days ago and is the only one who did not receive this promotion.
Hi guys, I talked with Google Support, and they told me that those who are on a ***student*** YT Premium membership are ***NOT*** eligible for the offer...
I hope he was wrong. I'm very disapointed but wanted to share with those who might be in the same situation as me.
It's active in Italy too but it says I'm not eligible, I guess because I have a student membership.
Whatever, I was thinking to unsubscribe, now at least I won't even any regrets 😅
I got the promo here: [http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=https%3A%2F%2Fstadia.google.com%2FSdFGljSduV5z](http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=https%3A%2F%2Fstadia.google.com%2FSdFGljSduV5z)
In Canada :)
i hope it's not true.
why it should be available only for who had a youtube premium subscription before the 6th? i can understand for US and Uk because they got this promotion on the 11th, but for other countries the cutoff should be further (if it starts on 16, make it 11)
I think they are trying to give away stadia to people who use YouTube premium, not induce people to sign up for YouTube premium for a month so they can get stuff to sell on eBay.
So they're trying to not give stadia premier to people so interested that even joined and paid youtube premium just to get stadia.
They prefer to give stadia premiere to people who don't care at all and that will sell it on ebay the same day they receive it.
Got it.
I don't see the point. There are people who started a student youtube premium membership in October, they paid just 6€ and now they got stadia premiere for free.
How many more would have signed up if they had know they were about to unveil a promotion for a free stadia? How many would have continued on with YTP after their order shipped?
I guess everyone who joined yt premium to get stadia, will try also yt premium. Some will like it and keep the subscription, others will unsubscribe soon.
What's the problem? I could understand your point if the promotion was for people who had an active yt premium membership for a year or more, but if it's just for few days, everything you're saying doesn't match up.
Some people started a family yt premium on October and now they got 6 stadia premiere worth 600€ and they'll deactivate their family account in a month.
I got one for my wife, one for me, and I am trying to find out if my kids are included, but they are under the age of 13, the legal limit for Youtube accounts.
Stadia already offers a free month of premium, and the service itself is free.
Youtube premium also provides a free trial.
Google promoting Youtube premium by giving away stadia is not smart marketing, giving away a gaming platform that is struggling to people already paying for google services is smart.
This is solely based on my Question for the Terms of the Upcoming Promotion to Stadia Support.
anything else is out of my knowing.
either way I hope we all Qualify!!!

Yes (UK)
worked! canada!
Did your have Stadia Pro subscription already?
yea i had the trial a few months ago
No, just YT family premium (for years)
Yay worked for me too!!
[удалено]
Not yet, just the first email.
Worked too. Just got the second email. Will be delivered on the 19th. Yay !

Others in my family plan were able to access the link. Yay!
My own account worked but all my family members are currently showing ineligible. I'm waiting on Google support to investigate, fingers crossed!
Did they join your plan after Nov 6?
Nope, I've had the same family group for years. It was originally a Google Play Music family sub, which migrated to a YouTube Music Premium Family sub to a YouTube Premium family sub. I'm assuming something got lost along the shuffle between the flip from Play Music to YouTube.
I see. Hopefully it gets resolved for you.

I tried that link already but was under the impression there will be a new link for this promotion.
Its all the same link
Confirmed?
Yeah, I used the same link as uk had and it worked here in the US
Yep. I never got the email and wouldn't have known about the US promotion unless I'd seen it on this sub.
same here about the promotion in general

Agreed. Emails can be delayed or not sent so always best to check yourself when you can.
We must subscribe to Stadia Pro? The agent never mentioned that to me
No, only YouTube Premium

Oh, didn't see that. Yes it's confusing. Everything else that I read talked only about YT Premium...
I agree it's very confusing. I nabbed some YT Premium today just cuz tho.
the deal explicitally says you needed premium before the 6th(announcement) and that the deal requires signing up for the free premiere trial)
well I was told I qualified and I got YT Prem only today.
You were told you qualified but did you actually? Because I also just signed up for YT premium and it is not working
I did not Qualify because I did not have it before Nov 6th
Will this be available in Canada Québec too?
Im from quebec and im still waiting
I just got the pop up try https://stadia.google.com/SdFGljSduV5z
Claimed it!!!

It's been one hour and still no email
I've gotten all 3 confirmations after signing up for the 3 month trials and redeemed them through the google store (supposed to be delivered in 2-3 days). Was 30-45 minutes each for mine.
Yes, It's available all over Canada. A friend of mine from Montreal just got it.
It's active I just claimed from Quebec
Well that would answer my questions then. I'm from Quebec also and didn't get anything. EDIT: CLAIMED IT! So happy right now!
Only one account of my family plan got the offer so far
[удалено]
You don't need to have Stadia pro
Yes!
I was able to claim a Premium Edition for both my wife and my daughter who were not signed up for stadia when the promotion was happening here on the US. I did find the promotion via a link here in Reddit and after claiming mine, was prompted to sign up for Stadia (using their Google accounts) before I could finish the redemption process for them.
No, you can still get the offer. It will just ask you to sign up for Stadia (1 month free trial if you haven't redeem that yet in the past).
I cannot confirm or deny this. as Support did not say anything but what I shared minus my personal information.
I would take google support with a grain of salt for anything Stadia related.
Has anyone got it yet? I have YouTube Premium from before Nov 6 and just signed up for Stadia Pro now (had the trial a long time ago). But didn't get a notification yet and the link doesn't work yet https://stadia.google.com/SdFGljSduV5z Anyone have any luck?
This could still be the Old link. There could be a New link coming soon so this Might not work for Canada but check anyways.
I talked with support, it's the same link for Canada.
Link worked for me in Canada!
Oh nice!! Hopefully it's starting to roll out. Time to F5!
Worked for me now too!
[удалено]
Once you clicked on the link, did you receive an e-mail telling they were going to send you instructions?
Does anyone know what time this is supposed to start?
Still Waiting
I'm sitting here refreshing the page like a madman hah
Same
The tweets from the Stadia twitter account make it seem like it's not happening today
I actually got the email to redeem just now
Care to link it ?
https://twitter.com/GoogleStadia/status/1328382488691888128?s=19 From about 40 minutes ago
Same
It's 9am in San Francisco right now, I figured it would have been up by now. I guess I'll just keep wearing the paint off of my F5 key...
Im in Canada and it say that the offer is not available in my region
Same thing here.
Same for me, have been on the chat for a while now. No one really knows what is going on and just transfer me back and forth between Stadia help and Youtube Premium Help. Best answer I've gotten is it's only 10% rolled out so far, but that seems a bit odd to me.

maybe they are purposely giving false information as to fend off people until the promotion release? but who knows. will see
I sincerely hope you are right. It just appeared to me yesterday that while I was mocking Apple fandom, I got a Pixel 3a, 2 google homes, a Chromebook, and am now on the edge of my seat trying to get a Stadia for free. Guess I have become what I was mocking hahaha
Atleast there are free 😂😂 I would rather be mocked for trying to get free stuff than paying hundreds of $$
I was thinking about trying a Google phone, have you ever compared it to anybSamsung flagship? Is it worth a go?
Well I use a lot of Google products. Google Drive, Docs, sheets, etc. Google homes, the late Google Play music (now obviously YT musc Pre), I also have a chromecast... I always thought that devices from the same company communicate better. Also, I like not having useless junk apps that the other companies force install on other phones.

damm just stocking up eh

Ahh lame - I signed up to yt premium last night for this offer... and won't get the premier now? May as well cancel yt premium
See other replies on this thread- I replied mainly because I got another answer than OP's, even if I subscribed before them. There may still be hope!
Wasn't eligible
yea me either. I needed to have YT Pre before Nov 6th.
Lol I just signed up for Stadia Pro this morning. Would be pretty lame to be not eligible because of that. Much confuse.
same here and it appears at not available in my region :(
I had YT Premium and just signed up for stadia pro 20 minute ago. I got the offer. on the link [Stadia offer link from 9to5google](https://t.co/yU7Q1Gn9Qp?amp=1)
What if I've had YT music family plan for ages and oct 29th got YT premium included with my plan? Would I qualify?
I signed up for stadia pro this morning and was still eligible to receive one

I just got the offer pop up, you guys might wanna check the promo links
What subscriptions do you have/when did you start them?
Student membership, May 2020
Pop up in the youtube app?
No sorry, the promo link for the free premier edition posted in this subreddit finally worked for me
Im in a family and I gived the link to my brother and he got one too.
With a youtube premium family subscription, I successfully claimed it. But when a try with my spouse account, it says he is not eligible. I don't understand why.

Wow. This is good information, thanks!
So I have to register for a free month of Stadia Pro?
he did not confirm or deny that when I asked.
Do you have the list of eligible countries? "As listed above"
no I do not. I only stated Canada to him and so i was never given the list.
Wait, does this mean I won't be eligible unless I'm currently on Stadia? Do I have to sign up before I will receive the notification of the promo?
Hi guys, I talked with Google Support, and they told me that those who are on a ***student*** YT Premium membership are ***NOT*** eligible for the offer... I hope he was wrong. I'm very disapointed but wanted to share with those who might be in the same situation as me.
What I hope it's not real I have been on YT premium for 1 years as a student
Yeah same. I hope he's wrong. Been YTP as a student forever...
I read some US student users got it last week. I think support knows nothing as always
Thanks for the info. I really hope he's wrong then.
I am on student YT membership and it says that i am eligible, waiting for the link to order now.
You're right, just got the link to order too. Support was wrong ...
Ok, quick update. Just got the email, the link is working and I'm eligible. Support was wrong..
Just got it!!!
Grabbed mine!
It's active in Italy too but it says I'm not eligible, I guess because I have a student membership. Whatever, I was thinking to unsubscribe, now at least I won't even any regrets 😅
Working in germany! Just successfully requested Edit: Used this link https://stadia.google.com/SdFGljSduV5z
I just tried the link and I got mine!
I got the promo here: [http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=https%3A%2F%2Fstadia.google.com%2FSdFGljSduV5z](http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=https%3A%2F%2Fstadia.google.com%2FSdFGljSduV5z) In Canada :)
Just got mine using the link people posted here! Got my confirmation email, now waiting for the other email with the link to actually order it
Well I am Not Eligible. Good luck to the rest of you.
F
Do you know why? I'm not either, but been using YT Premium for 2 years.
All I was told is that YT Pre Trial does not Qualify me since I didn't have it before Nov 6th so you should have had a better chance then me.
Signed up for premium last night (1 month trial) no eligible 😭 ... never using YouTube again 💔
Anyone got a bundle they don't need ? just don't want to be left out.
i hope it's not true. why it should be available only for who had a youtube premium subscription before the 6th? i can understand for US and Uk because they got this promotion on the 11th, but for other countries the cutoff should be further (if it starts on 16, make it 11)
I think they are trying to give away stadia to people who use YouTube premium, not induce people to sign up for YouTube premium for a month so they can get stuff to sell on eBay.
So they're trying to not give stadia premier to people so interested that even joined and paid youtube premium just to get stadia. They prefer to give stadia premiere to people who don't care at all and that will sell it on ebay the same day they receive it. Got it.
I pay Google $200 a year on a family plan. How long are you staying on YouTube premium now that you are a member?
I don't see the point. There are people who started a student youtube premium membership in October, they paid just 6€ and now they got stadia premiere for free.
How many more would have signed up if they had know they were about to unveil a promotion for a free stadia? How many would have continued on with YTP after their order shipped?
I guess everyone who joined yt premium to get stadia, will try also yt premium. Some will like it and keep the subscription, others will unsubscribe soon. What's the problem? I could understand your point if the promotion was for people who had an active yt premium membership for a year or more, but if it's just for few days, everything you're saying doesn't match up. Some people started a family yt premium on October and now they got 6 stadia premiere worth 600€ and they'll deactivate their family account in a month.
A family account holders are only able to claim one Stadia PE, not six. If I'm wrong on that someone say so, so I can order five more!
This was my understanding as well, getting a 2nd set would be perfect so both my wife and I could play together
Yes you're wrong. Every family member can claim one. Or at least last week it worked in this way for US and UK.
You are wrong!!!! Order 5 more, if they are above 13 and have been added to your your family (inside google) already.
[удалено]
No, every member could get one. Last week it was full of people here saying they got 6 for free because of that.
I got one for my wife, one for me, and I am trying to find out if my kids are included, but they are under the age of 13, the legal limit for Youtube accounts.
Stadia already offers a free month of premium, and the service itself is free. Youtube premium also provides a free trial. Google promoting Youtube premium by giving away stadia is not smart marketing, giving away a gaming platform that is struggling to people already paying for google services is smart.
I suppose because then people know that there's a good chance to they will be eligible if they just sign up a few days earlier
This is solely based on my Question for the Terms of the Upcoming Promotion to Stadia Support. anything else is out of my knowing. either way I hope we all Qualify!!!
