How to use github promo code (student developer pack)
Hi guys, I just received $100 from github student pack and now I am struggling to the Billing phase.. The credit card form requires to be filled and I am really confuse because I don’t have any credit card and the $100 credit is noted in the promo code tab. So i just wonder if there’s a button to use the promo code credit instead of filling out the Credit Card and pay. Thanks for the help and sorry for my grammar.

Active students can get $50 in credits to use on DigitalOcean via the GitHub Student Pack, but we still require you to either make a minimum $5 Paypal payment or add a valid Credit/Debit Card to prevent abuse and fraud on our platform..
Student Developer Pack Eligibility requirements (set by GitHub)
If you’re a student aged 13+ and enrolled in a degree or diploma granting course of study, the GitHub Student Developer Pack is for you. All you need is a school-issued email address, valid student identification card, or other official proof of enrollment.
How to Redeem the $50 DigitalOcean credit
Go to https://education.github.com/pack and click “Get Your Pack” and signup. Once confirmed you will receive an email with a unique $50 text promo code that can be redeemed in the DigitalOcean control panel on Billing page. https://cloud.digitalocean.com/account/billing
NOTE: DigitalOcean only allows one promo code per account. This one-promo limit includes the referral program: In order to redeem the $50 github code, you must not have used a referral code or different promo code in the past.
I got the GitHub Student Pack but I never got the email with the code. How do I get the code?
