I’m a student and applied for the GitHub student pack which apparently gives $100 in DO credit. How does this promotion work? The email I have registered on DO is not my student one, so I’m afraid the promotion will only work if I’m signed up using the same email as I applied for the promotion for.
Also, in the event that I’m just sent a promotional code and I can use that on any account, what’s the deal with only 1 promotional code working? I already used one when my friend referred me but I’d rather use the $100 credit if that’s the case.

The Github student developer pack was updated and now includes a $50 DigitalOcean credit for new accounts. Unfortunately we are not able to offer additional promotional credits to existing accounts but if you are working on a class project, open source project, or on something for a non-profit we are always happy to provide a seperate sponsorship. In those cases you can reach out to us at opensource@digitalocean.com
For any questions or issues related to an email address that does not match, I would recommend reaching out to our support team who can help ensure the credit is applied.
Heya,
This credit is available only for new users who are verified through the GitHub program as students. The credit is valid for one year from signup.
