It still forces you to either make a PayPal deposit or add a credit card.
This is true
In the end, after depositing $5 with PayPal and using the SSDTweet10 code you are left with $16.25, which is enough to run one 512MB droplet for 3 months. Worth it.
Seems they intended you to get an additional $1.25
Beware, their CC processor blocked 3 of my cards at 2 banks completely (had to wait for a letter and then call the bank to unblock) - Better use paypal.
They've given SB an exclusive promo which will go live for the new plans tomorrow.
$20 credit on all new signups.
Oh great..! If I hadn't just signed up!

I tried to use the discount and it only applied $5 and did not pick up my selected image instead it use default Ubuntu 12.10 x32 Server.
the code SSDBEAR20 worked , you will need to add a found of $5 dollars in order to use the credit. I did have a problem where it picked the default image. However, the second time i tried it picked the right image. good luck.

Choose Paypal
Put in the code in Promotion code box. Don't need to make any payment. It will credit into your account within minutes with email confirmation.

I had this problem.
Open a support ticket saying you tried applying the coupon (the SB coupon) but it didn't add it at payment.
Mine was applied in 2 minutes (unfortunately not the SB one)

You can only apply promotion code one time. Once you have keyed in the code, it will not appear again. Same to me. The only different is I get the $20 Credit instead of $5
too bad. it applied less credit. It's alright as long as I got some credit.
Open support ticket. It's error at their end not yours.
This. Mine applied a 1.25 coupon, and I used the 10 dollar tweet one, but it wasn't applied. I opened a ticket, and it was applied to my account within 2 minutes.
In your / Spirit's case, mention the SB coupon

I will do that.
From their WHT offer it seems like they are aware of this issue and they request support ticket with promo code in subject.
(but use SSDBEAR20 code, not this one of course)
Not sure hat this is, but I think i got a trial from them but i never tried the vps. This is after i applied the SB code:
