Request for MSN Partner Hub Invite code

Email [Email] to ask whether publisher onboarding has reopened and whether an application form or waiting list is available for independent en-CA/en-US publishers; this is a status inquiry and cannot bypass onboarding or guarantee an invitation.^1^

MSN Partner Hub is invitation-only: registration requires a unique invite code emailed by Microsoft. Installing the WordPress plugin, maintaining an RSS feed, and meeting editorial-readiness criteria do not create a self-service route to obtain that code.^2^

Microsoft’s latest cited public response says onboarding of new partners is temporarily paused while its recruitment process is updated, with no reopening date announced.^3^ The currently available public guidance does not document a publisher waiting list or public invite-code application form. That does not rule out an unpublished process, so support must confirm the current position.

Subject: MSN Partner Hub publisher onboarding inquiry (site name removed by Moderator)

Hello,

I operate *(site name removed by Moderator)*t, an independent English-language football opinion and analysis publication serving en-CA/en-US readers.

The site currently has 174 original articles, publishes four days per week, has About, Contact, and Privacy Policy pages, and provides a working RSS feed. We also plan full coverage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Could you please confirm:

1. Whether MSN Partner Hub publisher onboarding has reopened;
2. Whether independent publishers can currently request editorial review or an invite code; and
3. Whether there is an official waiting list or notification list for en-CA/en-US publishers?

Thank you.

Do not post private contact, payment, or account information in a public Q&A thread. Only Microsoft can issue the invite code or confirm whether recruitment and any waiting-list process have reopened.

If invited, complete registration on a PC or Mac and have the intended Microsoft account, profile details, profile image, payment information, and WordPress/ATOM/RSS feed ready. The Microsoft account selected during setup becomes permanently associated with the Partner Hub contract.^2^
