I received a promo code which gave me 100$ credit, but I did not finish activating my account. I have yet to add a credit card, but the problem is I don’t own one, so it seems that the only option is to make a one time payment using Paypal.
Do I really need to make this payment, taking into consideration that I already have 100$ on my account?

Pay $5 with PayPal and get to use $100 worth of credit? Seems like a steal. :)
I just discovered that DO actually puts the upfront $5 PayPal fee towards hosting credit. How nice of them. I feel better now. They should really document that somewhere, I searched multiple DO threads and FAQs and not a single thing was mentioned on that. Glad it’s settled now though.
