I tried to add my student promo code while signing up for the service. I added my code on the credit card billing page and confirmed it. I then continued to the Paypal page and added 5$ to my account completing the sign-up process. When I checked my credit I saw that I had not received the promo. When I tried to add the promo on the settings page, I alerted me that "my account is not eligible for this promo.
I was wondering how I can still get my promo as one of the mods on the forum stated that the promo would still be added even if I used Paypal https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/how-to-use-github-promo-code-student-developer-pack

Hey @bestrandomnameever,
In our public community, we aim to answer open questions about anything SysAdmin, DigitalOcean and beyond. However, we make every attempt to keep personal information safe and so don’t ever access personal account information here. This means we can’t provide help with any account or billing-related issues.

Hope that helps! Alex
