But I shot off a ticket to DigitalOcean&amp;#x27;s support, and they applied the $100 promo to my account within 5 minutes. So definitely send them a message if you have an existing account that you would like to have the credit applied to.&lt;p&gt;Awesome pack, and great service from DigitalOcean as well.&lt;p&gt;Also of interest is that  my account is apparently already flagged as a &amp;quot;student account&amp;quot; since I&amp;#x27;ve gotten the 5 free private repos in the past with it. Which means once I hit &amp;quot;Get your pack&amp;quot; it immediately gave me access.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>sondh</author><text>I have just redeemed the code in my DO account and it worked on the first attempt. I think they have fixed the issue. To any students out there: try first before reaching out to support, they are busy men&amp;#x2F;women.</text></comment>

To see your promo code history please visit your billing page.&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.digitalocean.com/help/pricing-and-billing/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.digitalocean.com&amp;#x2F;help&amp;#x2F;pricing-and-billing&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
