You need to submit a ticket, as it says in their blog post.

Does it apply to excisting customers or just new ones?

New customers but I heard some existing ones were able to claim it.

If you go to https://www.digitalocean.com/user_payment_profiles/new and see the option to enter a coupon, then you can do it.

emilv

Thanks, apparantly you can only use a coupon once.

For those who have yet to use the coupon option there is a coupon for $20 credit available, "SSDTWEET20".

I've been a customer for a long time and got the $5 DNS credit. Awesome! @digitalocean

I never had to submit anything.. I did not know this even existed until they emailed me regarding the $5 credit. I did setup a dot com domain if that makes a difference..

ztec

I got the 5 dollaz automagically.

Thanks for writing in about the DNS credit. Unfortunately this promotion is mutually exclusive with our previous promotions. As you were already able to successfully claim the ServerBear SSD credit, I cannot credit your account for the DNS offer as well. Thank you for your understanding.

Well, KSM is a wonderful idea, and doesn't abuse to much CPU resources

You have to add a credit card to your account to be able to use the SSDBEAR20 coupon.

gubbyte

Add the promo code first, then make a PayPal deposit
you'll have $25 credit

That VM is quite good but the CPU is a very weak point. DigitalOcean CPU
