I signed up through a referral but I'm a student

Posted on August 25, 2021

Hi,

I signed up to DigitalOcean through a referral link one of my friends sent me, but I’m a student an have access to the GitHub Developer Pack. I see no where on my Billing Page to put a Promo Code. If this is because I signed up with a referral link, then I’d rather use the GitHub Pack Promo Code than the referral credits.

How can I use my GitHub Developer Pack Code?
