Question

Inquiry Regarding $200 Credit for GitHub Student Developer Program

Dear DigitalOcean Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am writing to inform you that I have not yet received the $200 credits that are offered to members of the GitHub Student Developer Program. I have successfully signed up for the program and created my DigitalOcean account, but the credits have not been applied to my account.

Heya,

Have you put a valid credit card in your account? Once you have access to your student pack benefits, create your account on DigitalOcean and complete the sign up process, including adding a valid credit card or PayPal account. Once you have a verified account, your $200 credit for 1 year will be applied.
