How do I get a Facebook Ads promo code?

Getting a Facebook Ads promo code (also called a Facebook ad credit) isn't always straightforward — Facebook doesn't hand them out to just anyone. But there are a few legit ways to get one. Here's how you can try:

🧾 Legit Ways to Get a Facebook Ads Promo Code
🔹 1. New Advertiser Offers
Facebook sometimes gives ad credit to new ad accounts, especially if:

You've never advertised before.

You've just created a new Business Manager or ad account.

You signed up via a Facebook marketing partner or a referral link.

💡 You may receive a code by email or see a credit in your Billing > Payment Settings automatically.

🔹 2. Partner Promotions
Facebook occasionally partners with web hosting companies, email platforms, or marketing tools (like Shopify, Mailchimp, GoDaddy, etc.) to give promo codes to their customers.

Example:

"Spend $25, get $100 in Facebook Ads credit" if you sign up for ads through a Shopify dashboard.

What to do:

Check your third-party marketing tools or email promos for any "Facebook Ad Credit" offers.

🔹 3. Facebook's Marketing Experts Program
If Facebook invites you to work with a Marketing Expert, they may offer you an ad credit during or after the consultation.

These are usually for new or growing advertisers who are active on the platform.

🔹 4. Special Events, Webinars, or Promotions
Sometimes Facebook gives out ad credits during:

Business webinars

Developer or creator events

Training programs (Meta Blueprint courses, etc.)

Watch Meta's official event pages or your email for invites to these.

🛑 Important: Avoid Fake Promo Codes!
Never trust third-party websites or forums claiming to sell or give out Facebook promo codes — they're usually scams or phishing attempts.

Facebook does not let users share or transfer codes between accounts, and violating this can get your ad account restricted.

✅ Where to Redeem a Promo Code (if you have one)
Go to Ads Manager > Billing > Payment Settings.

Scroll to the "Ad Credits" section.

Click "Add a Promo Code" if you see that option.

Enter your code and apply.

🔒 Only some ad accounts will see the option to enter a code, and only during valid promotions.
