Do you want the benefits of Bumble Premium without having to pay? When you create an account, you'll be able to enroll in a 14-day free trial of Bumble Premium, which is the only way you can get premium features without paying. This wikiHow article will show you how to get Bumble Premium benefits at no cost by signing up for a free trial.
Using Bumble Premium for Free
Download the Bumble app and create a new account. Once you’re registered, you’ll be able to enroll in a 14-day free trial of Bumble Premium, which is the only way you can get all of the premium benefits without a costly price tag.
Steps
Section 1 of 2:
Getting a Bumble Premium Free Trial
1 Open Bumble. This app icon looks like a beehive on a yellow background. If you're using a computer, you can go to https://bumble.com.
Free trials are usually only available to brand new accounts. If you already have an account and skipped the trial, you'll have to wait until Bumble is offering a trial period to existing users who've never used a trial before. When such an offer is available to you, you'll be notified in the app or on the web.
2 Click or tap Join. You can choose a login method, such as your Facebook account or cell phone number to create your account.[1]XResearch source
If you choose to use your phone number, you'll get a code sent via SMS that you'll need to enter into the app to continue.

3 Create your password (if prompted). You may not be prompted to enter a password if you're using a phone or tablet.[2]XResearch source
4 Upload pictures of yourself and create your profile. You'll need to add pictures that follow Bumble's guidelines so they don't get moderated. Use your best photos and fill out your profile thoroughly.[3]XResearch source
5 Accept the free Bumble Premium trial. If you're not offered a free trial before you're shown your first match, try closing and re-opening Bumble. Some users report that it can take a few days before an offer for a free trial will appear.
As long as you cancel your subscription before the trial period ends, you will not be billed for Bumble Premium.[4]XResearch source
Note that you will not be charged unless you decide to continue with Bumble Premium.
If you decide that you want to continue with Bumble Premium, you can cancel at any time.[5]XResearch source

Is Bumble Premium worth the cost?
1 Bumble's free tier has many features. You can make matches, send messages, use basic filters, and swipe through profiles, and even extend one match per day without paying a dime.[6]XResearch source Sticking to Bumble's free tier doesn't mean you won't find love!
2 Bumble Premium can give you profile more exposure. Spotlight is a Premium feature that moves your profile to the top of the stack, making you more visible to other members.[7]XResearch source With Premium, you'll get one Spotlight per week—there are no recurring Spotlights with the free tier.
Even with the free tier, you can purchase Spotlight placement as a standalone feature each time you want to use it. This allows you to use Spotlight when you want to, without the need for a recurring membership.
3 A Premium subscription lets you see who likes you. With a free account, you can't see your Beeline, as the user photos will be blurred out. If you want to see who already liked you before you swipe, Premium will be a good upgrade for you.[8]XResearch source
If you want access to more SuperSwipes, Spotlight, extended time to respond to matches, rematches,
4 Premium's Advanced Filters are helpful for densely-populated areas. If a lot of people in your area are using Bumble, advanced filters and unlimited swipes can help you sort through the massive amounts of potential matches to find the people you'll really like.[9]XResearch source
5 The Travel Mode feature is crucial for dating long distance. Premium will be valuable to you if you want to date outside of your immediate area, as Travel Mode lets you match in any region.[10]XResearch source
Reader Poll: We asked 284 wikiHow readers and 83% shared that they’ve never paid for a premium dating app feature. [Take Poll] So, you definitely don’t need to upgrade to find success on the app—but it might help!

Laura Bilotta Dating Coach Expert Answer Well, Bumble is known for giving women more control over the conversation, as they are required to initiate contact with matches within 24 hours. This can lead to more respectful and meaningful interactions, as well as a sense of empowerment for women who may have felt overlooked or undervalued on other dating apps. Additionally, Bumble offers a variety of modes beyond dating, including Bumble BFF for finding friends and Bumble Bizz for networking. Thanks! We're glad this was helpful.Thank you for your feedback.
