After reactivate my account, I added the promo code $50 dollar, my credit was not $50 dollar but $19 dollar, no idea why. My profile was on hold for verfied, so I wait. Later I get a message that they had problems with my credit card. Checking my credit card, Digital Ocean was trying to write $19 dollar from my credit card. Uhm what is this ? and a promo means a promo after all the promo code is not a promo code at all but simply the fact that Digital Ocean is trying to get money from your credit card for no reason, I didn’t even create a droplet.

Be careful with Digital Ocean, Digital Ocean is just New but I don’t trust them at all, taking money from your credit card after add a promo code is just a shame.

Hello all,
This is just a quick update on an old topic in case someone stumbles upon it:
Usually, in order to get your Free Trial credit you need to add a valid payment method, that’s all. It should appear in your Control Panel in the Billing Section. If you’ve added a valid payment method (Paypal, a payment card, etc.) you should get the credit. Having said that, if you’ve not added the Payment method the best possible way forward would be to contact DigitalOcean’s Support.
They should be able to help you out with your account issue. You should be able to reach them here:
Hope that helps! - KFSys.
