It’s possible.

Sear for this: “elftronix digitalocean free credits”.

That post has useful information and the link to get the $100 credit without a credit card, doesn’t look difficult.

Have a nice one.

Hello Bobbyiliev, I signed up for the 60-day trial with $100 credit but I ended up getting charged $5 in my paypal. Can you please help check?

Hi there @nangwang53,

According to the official documentation in order to create Droplets or other resources, you must have a valid payment method on your account even when using a promo code.

For more information you could take a look a the documentation here:
