We are currently participating in one of the Gener8tor Accelerators and they have a MS for Startups promo perk. How do I get it attached to our Azure account so we can take advantage of the credits?

    Hello @Trellis Usher

    It sounds like you want to attach the Microsoft for Startups promo perk to your Azure account to access your credits. Here’s how you can do that:

    Check Eligibility: Ensure that you qualify for the Microsoft for Startups benefits. Typically, this involves being part of the Microsoft for Startups Investor Offer (formerly Founders Hub).

    Access the Startups Portal: You'll need to sign in to the Startups portal.

    Redeem Your Investor Referral Code: Once you’re in the portal, locate the Benefits tab. In the Azure sponsorship benefits section, look for the option to redeem your Investor Referral Code.

    Use Your Azure Subscription Email: Make sure to use the email that is connected to your Azure subscription when redeeming your credits.

    Activate Within 90 Days: It’s important to activate your Azure credits within 90 days of accepting the program agreement. If not done, you may be removed from the program, but you can reapply afterward.

    Support for Administrative Ownership: Ensure that there is an active administrator for your Azure tenant. If you’re not the administrator, you may need to take administrative ownership.

    If you encounter any issues or need help with the process, you might want to reach out to Azure support for further assistance.

    I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.

    Thanks
    Manish
