AND read page 2 of the email for the kicker.
My bad for not reading the fine print on page 2. In short order I went way over the $50 promo value since I didn't set a daily budget and ending date for the ad campaign.
As SHE who cashes my paycheck said 'lessons learned'.
In my email to LinkedIn to confirm that I cancelled the ad campaign I mentioned that it would be better for customers to have an OPT-IN requirement. Customer using the ad promo coupon would have to opt-in to continue the ad once the coupon value limit had been reached. Right now you have to OPT-OUT to stop the charges.
BTW: if you are also offered a free 30-day trial for LinkedIn's Job Seekers Premium [currently looking for best next opportunity] take it...for just 30 days. I did try it and setup a reminder to cancel after 30 days. Because if you don't cancel you start paying for it. It was an upgrade that I couldn't justify for my current job search efforts. The basic plan is sufficient for now.
