Hello,
Just wanted to let you guys know there is a problem redeeming the student developer coupon offered by Github for digitalocean credit. I get the error “Sorry, this promo is not available for your account at this time” I’m thinking this is because I’ve already redeemed a coupon ($10) a few weeks ago.
Is this planning on being fixed? At this point my best option is to create a new account.
Thank you

I was just reading their documentation: “Keep in mind that we only allow one promo code per account, so if you’ve redeemed one in the past you may not add another. To see your promo code history please visit your billing page.” That’s ridiculous. At least allow people to redeem the difference of the coupon and previous credit. So if I’ve already redeemed $10, I should be able to redeem $90. I’ll file a ticket anyway
Hello, all
If you navigate to your billing page you should be able to see a link which says Apply Promo Code.
In order to activate your package you need to get your personal unique code and also to add a valid payment method to your DigitalOcean’s account (credit/debit card) or add some funds using PayPal.
Please note that you have taken advantage of a different promo code at some prior point each account is only allowed to use one promo code during it’s lifetime.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
Hi,
You can’t create multiple account and currently Github offering Student repository offer. Please check github coupons site for more details on that.
Hope that would help you out.
