Redeem an Access Code
Turn a creator's access code into an active subscription — via the Telegram bot or the web portal.
By the end of this page, you'll know how to redeem an access code you've received — from the bot or from the portal — and understand what a code unlocks.
An access code is a short alphanumeric string a creator generates and hands out. It activates a specific subscription plan for you without payment. Creators often issue codes for:
- Offline sales (you paid via bank transfer, cash, or invoice — they give you a code).
- Giveaways and promotions.
- Influencer partnerships or team access.
- Exclusive invites tied to a specific plan not otherwise available to the public.
What a code gives you
When you redeem a code:
- A new subscription is created for you on the plan the code was generated against.
- Access is granted for the plan's normal duration — e.g. a 30-day plan gives 30 days, a Lifetime plan gives lifetime.
- No auto-renewal. Subscriptions activated by access codes are non-recurring — when the access period ends, you lose access unless you redeem another code or subscribe via a payment provider.
- Codes are single-use. Once you redeem a code, it's marked used and can't be redeemed again.
Codes can expire before redemption — each has its own validity window set by the creator. Redeem soon after receiving.
How to redeem
Open the creator's bot in Telegram (the one whose project the code was generated for).
Send the access code as a regular chat message — e.g. ABCD-1234.
If the code is valid and unused, the bot activates your subscription immediately and sends you your unique invite links.
Often the creator shares the code as a ready-to-tap link — easier than copy-pasting the code. It looks like https://t.me/YourBotName?start=ABCD-1234.
Telegram opens the bot. The bot greets you and automatically applies the code.
If you haven't agreed to the terms yet, tap Agree & Proceed — the code is applied right after.
Your subscription activates immediately and you receive your invite links.
The deep-link path is the simplest for non-technical subscribers — one tap, no copy-pasting, no typos.
If the creator has given you a portal URL instead of a bot link:
Open the creator's portal page (e.g.
my.memberpass.net/project-handle).
Sign in — any of the supported methods works (Telegram, Google, verified email magic link). See Via Web Portal → Signing in.
Your subscription activates. The success page lists the resources your plan unlocked, with Join buttons for each.
Portal redemption is rate-limited to 5 attempts per short window. If you mistype a code a few times, wait a minute before retrying.
When redemption fails
After redemption
Once your subscription is active:
- The bot sends you your unique invite links for every Telegram resource your plan unlocks. Tap each Join button.
- The portal shows the same resources on the subscription's detail page.
- You can always retrieve your invite links again via
/my_resources(bot) or the My Memberships page (portal).
When the plan's duration ends, your access ends — you'll need to redeem another code or subscribe through a normal payment method to continue.
