Claude guest pass: di free week, wetin e cost

Wetin Claude guest pass be

Claude guest pass na link wey Claude Pro or Max subscriber fit send you. E give you seven days of Claude Pro, free. But di free week get condition: you go put your card details when you sign up, and if you no cancel before di seven days finish, e go turn paid Pro by itself.

So di real question no be "e free?". Di real question be two: "my card go pass di signup?" and "I go remember cancel on time?". Dis guide answer both, step by step.

Anthropic official help article for dis matter get title "Claude Code, Claude Cowork, and Claude Design guest passes". Everything wey dis page talk about how di pass dey work come from dat article and from Anthropic promotion terms, as we read dem on 15 October 2026. If anything here no agree with Anthropic own pages when you dey read am, follow Anthropic own pages.

Who fit send Claude guest pass?

Di help article talk am straight: "Guest passes are currently available to eligible Pro and Max subscribers only." So Pro subscriber fit send pass. E no be only Max people.

Some older guides wey other companies write still talk say na only Max fit send. One example na di GrowSurf guide about Anthropic referral program, wey show "Last updated Jul 1, 2026". Dat guide still talk say Pro users no fit send Guest Passes. Dat information don old: Anthropic own article now include Pro, so na only Free users no fit send pass.

Watch di word "eligible". Di article no explain which Pro or Max account dey eligible and which one no dey. So if your friend get Pro and dem no see any pass, e no mean say dem do something wrong. E fit be say dia account no dey eligible at dat time.

Where your friend go find di Claude guest pass link

Di article name four places where sender fit see dia passes:

• Inside Claude Code, with di /passes command.
• For Claude settings, under "Claude Code".
• For Claude Desktop settings, for di "Cowork" tab.
• For Claude Design settings.

Di Claude Code commands reference describe /passes as "Share a free week of Claude Code with friends". E add say di command is "Only visible if your account is eligible". So if your friend type /passes for Claude Code and di command no show at all, dia account no get pass to give. Di article also talk say eligible sender go see notification when dem start Claude Code session.

From there, di sender copy one unique referral link. Dem fit send am any way dem like: email, message, or any other channel. Di same screens show how many passes remain and whether pesin don redeem dem.

Wetin di free week give you

Di article say di pass give "Seven days of free access to Claude's Pro plan, which includes Claude Code, Cowork, and Claude Design". So for dat one week, you dey use Pro, no be Free plan.

Who fit collect am? Di article talk: "Referral recipients must be new to Claude paid subscriptions." Dis one mean say if you don ever pay for Claude subscription before, dis pass no be for you. Di article no talk clearly wetin happen if you already get free Claude account wey you never pay for. If na your case, open di link and see wetin di signup show you. No assume.

Anthropic promotion terms add one more rule: "one redemption per person and per account". So you no fit use one pass, finish am, and use another pass to collect another free week for di same account.

Dis guide no go write Pro price here, because price fit change and e depend on your country and currency. For dat one, read Claude Pro price and usage limits before your free week start.

Why di free week need your card

Di help article talk say di recipient "will need to enter their payment information when signing up". You no go pay during di seven days. But di card must dey there from di first day.

Anthropic promotion terms (effective 12 May 2026) cover free trials. Dem talk say during free trial your payment method no go charge for di plan, "though we may place a temporary authorization hold to verify it". Authorization hold mean say di bank reserve small money for your card to confirm say di card dey work. Di hold no be di real charge. Di terms no talk how much di hold go be. Di terms also need "a valid payment method" before you fit redeem.

One small point: di guest pass article link to dis promotion terms for free trials, but e no talk directly say guest pass na "Offer" under those terms. So read di terms as Anthropic general rules for Claude free trials.

Di card step for Nigerian card

For many Nigerian readers, di card step na where di whole thing go stop or continue. If your card no fit pay foreign online merchant, di verification hold fit fail, and signup no go finish. Before you click di link, open your bank app and check say your card fit pay foreign website, and check your foreign spending limit.

Which card and payment method Claude dey accept, and how exchange fee go affect wetin your bank finally collect for day 8, na separate topic. Read Claude payment methods and FX fees for dat part.

Day 8: wetin happen if you no cancel

Di help article talk am plain: "If they don't cancel, their free trial will automatically convert to a paid Pro plan." You "won't be charged unless they continue using Claude after the end of their seven-day trial".

Di promotion terms add three things wey matter:

• To avoid di standard price, cancel before di last day of di trial. Di words na "cancel before the last day of the Offer Period".
• If you no cancel, you go pay "the then-current standard price" on a recurring basis until you cancel.
• Money wey dem don charge under di offer generally no dey refundable. Di terms get some exceptions, like legal withdrawal rights for some countries.

Di good news: if you cancel during di trial, di terms say you go "keep access to the Offer Plan until the Offer Period ends". After dat, you go back to Free plan or di plan wey you get before. So if you cancel for day 1, you no lose your free week. You still get di full seven days.

No Anthropic page wey we read talk di exact hour wey di charge go land. Di terms only say di trial period dey "shown at sign-up". So write down di end date wey you see when you sign up. Check your own billing settings too. If you no fit find di date, ask Claude support. No wait for di last hour. If you need refund story later, read Claude subscription refund policy first, but no plan your week around refund.

How to cancel before di free week finish

Anthropic article for cancelling Pro or Max talk say: "Navigate to Settings > Billing and click the 'Cancel' button." Dat one na for web or desktop. Di same article advise you to cancel "at least 24 hours before your next billing date".

Dat cancel article dey talk about normal subscription. E no mention free trial. But di 24 hours advice na careful rule, so follow am for trial too. Even better: cancel immediately after signup, since di terms say you keep access until di trial end.

If you sign up through Apple App Store or Google Play, di promotion terms say you go cancel through di store, no be through Claude settings.

For full steps, and for wetin you keep or lose after you cancel, read how to cancel or downgrade your Claude plan.

How to check say di link na Claude own

Di help article no show how real link go look. One real link wey user post for issue on Anthropic own claude-code repository for GitHub start with https://claude.ai/referral/ and then short code. Dat one na user report, no be Anthropic documentation, so no treat am as official rule.

Di safe check simple. Before you type any card number, look di address bar of your browser. Di domain must be exactly claude.ai. If di domain get extra word, different ending, or e no be claude.ai at all, close di page. Short link wey you click fit carry you go another site, so always check di final page, no be di link wey dem send you.

Pesin dey sell Claude guest pass for WhatsApp or Telegram?

Di help article talk say "Passes have no cash value and are non-transferable." Di promotion terms talk di same thing. So anybody wey dey sell you guest pass dey sell something wey Anthropic terms say no get cash value.

E get more problems. Redemption na "first-come, first-served", and di terms allow one redemption per person and per account. So di link wey dem sell you fit don dey used by another person before you reach am. Di article also talk say passes "may expire or be withdrawn". You go pay di seller, and di link fit no work at all.

Another danger: link from stranger fit no even open on claude.ai. If any seller ask for your Claude password, your card number, or your bank OTP, no give am. Real guest pass no need any of dat from seller. You put your card only on Claude own page.

If di idea na to share one paid account among friends instead, read whether you fit share one Claude Pro account first.

Wetin di sender get when you pay

Di article talk: "If specified, you will receive a certain amount of overage credits once your referee converts to a paid user." Overage credits na credit wey dem fit use for extra usage. Di article no name any amount, so dis guide no go print one.

Two more rules from di article. Di credits "expire one year from the date of issuance". And if di sender downgrade to Free plan, di credits "will also become void". Note di word "converts": di sender credit come when you become paid user. If you cancel inside di free week, your friend no go get credit from you. For how Claude credits work in general, read Claude usage credits explained.

If you be student

Guest pass na one route only. If you be student and you dey look for cheaper way to use Claude for school, read Claude for students before you put your card for any trial.
