Claiming Your $150 Credit

Claiming Your $150 Credit

First, make sure the same person owns both accounts

If you haven't already created a Basecamp 3 account, make sure that the owner of your Basecamp 2 account is the one who does it. Here's how:

1

The Basecamp 2 account owner should visit  basecamp.com/signup.

2

Then fill out the form to start a new trial account using the same email address used for your paid Basecamp 2 account.

3

We'll ask whether you're trying to log in, or create a new account. Choose the  No, I want to start a new company account button.

4

After that we'll ask you to confirm your password, and you'll be all set.

If someone besides the Basecamp 2 account owner already created a Basecamp 3 account, you'll need to do one of two things:

1

You can ask your Basecamp 2 account owner to transfer ownership to you. This will allow us to link to your Basecamp 2 and 3 accounts together.  Here's a quick guide explaining how they can do that.

2

Or, you can  write to our support team and ask them to make your Basecamp 2 account owner an owner on your Basecamp 3 account too, this will also link the two accounts.

With both accounts owned by the same person, you're ready to claim your $150 credit for Basecamp 3.
