The best value I've gotten out of this pack is the DO credit. 10 months on a 5$ plan for free is a great deal, I recommend it to friends in education

  Was that a long time ago? I’m pretty sure it expires within 2-3 months now.

    Also if you created an account before, even if you never used it, you'll be prevented from redeeming your student developer credits... Pretty disingenuous to offer free credits to verified students For educational use, but put the stipulation they can't have an existing account. Makes the thinly veiled ploy to lock in "new blood" all that more transparent.

      You can contact support and they'll add it for you.

        They won't... I tried back when I was still a student. It was a pretty awful support experience, including patronizing responses and being accused of just demanding free credits from DO. "It appears that you have already tried out our platform and decided that you did not wish to pay to use it." "I was attempting to introduce you to what I'm faced with here and a bit of a background on why other people have forced my hand toward being skeptical of people's intentions from time to time." "The bottom line is I have people begging for free credits outside of the promotion rules constantly and I wanted you to give me a reason to skate around those rules for you." All this over $50 of credits... cost them a lifetime of recommendations and lost business.

  Google's got a pretty nice 'always free' plan, and the 300 bucks will get you a fair bit more.
