Core Facts
Timeline (last 90 days)
The barrier to participating in the MLH global hackathon event is very low: working professionals and students (including high school students) can all participate, no student ID is required, and a single email address is enough to register.
Using automated tools to fill out forms on one's behalf may violate the event terms and result in the account being banned.
MLH's registration process does not mandatorily verify student status, so non-students often participate.
Cursor's billing system is independent of MLH, and the promo code must be manually entered on Cursor's Billing page to take effect; the system does not automatically link the MLH account.
As of the video's publication, the official materials do not state when the codes will be issued, and the duration of use cannot be confirmed either.
The online claim of "one year free, worth $240" has no official basis, and the official page contains no such statement.
The MLH global hackathon event deadline is 1 PM Eastern Time on the 15th, which is 1 AM Beijing Time on the 16th.
Starting from October 11, some netizens reported that the code-claiming page showed an error message that the code pool was empty, and some reported that verification SMS messages could not be received.
MLH (Major League Hacking), founded in 2013, is an organization dedicated to running hackathons.
The Global Hack Week event includes a task: registering gives away a Cursor Pro account, and MLH provides a promo code for redeeming a free Cursor Pro.
