Where is the 100$ credits DO promised at sign up?

Question

I signed up on DO 5 days ago, and was promised will receive, 100$ credits for 60 days period after I add my credit card and verified with payment; which i did, but haven’t received any mail about this, or there’s no way to check where the 100$ credits are. I have used a droplet for 4 days for which DO has charged me 2.27$ (including tax), then destroyed it yesterday. Even after destroying the droplet, I have been charged for no reason, like my outstanding amount today is increased to 2.61$.

I have raised a ticket in this regard with Ticket #3450311, but still, there’s no response from DO support.

Please respond and let me know what’s wrong, why i am being charged even after destroying the droplet.
Thanks

Hey @ghazi,

In our public community, we aim to answer open questions about anything SysAdmin, DigitalOcean and beyond. However, we make every attempt to keep personal information safe and so don’t ever access personal account information here. This means we can’t provide help with any account or billing-related issues.

I will ask our amazing support team to check-in on your ticket. They will be able to help you further where we cannot! :)

Hope that helps!
- Bobby.

Oh, as I was not able to find the credits, I thought someone from the community could help me.
Ok, I won’t be going on the personal info questions here in the future.

Anyways, the support team has solved the issue, as the credits didn’t credit automatically due to some error, they have added the credits manually.

Thanks.

  Hi @nimitcodes,
  
  I just raised the ticket and waited for few days, but got no reply from support, maybe due to getting so many tickets..
  
  Then raised a question on community, hoping someone could have faced the same problem and guide me through,
  
  Then dear friend @bobbyiliev from community, followed up my ticket number to the support.
  The support team added the 100$ credits, the dues are cut from 100$, and the leftover credits are displayed.
  
  Hope this helps you and others who don’t get the credits automatically!

Good day. I also got this issue. I created an account and added $5 from my paypal but did not get the $100 free credit for 60 days. I hope you can also help me with this.

  @bobbyiliev,
  Is it okay for me to create a droplet while waiting for the issue to be fixed? I just wanted to try and learn setting up a lemp stack in ubuntu.
