    Hi Mark,

     

    Upon accessing this offer, it has changed to $200 and 1 month. Also, I cannot find access to office. As a college instrutor hoping to teach Azure as a 3cr-15 week course, this is a non-starter and will cause me to use Amazon AWS instead as they provide 1yr of access for free over a greater scope of free options. Please advise how to access the previous offer you described, or when Microsoft is going to deliver a educational option that is not limited to 1 month.

     

    Thanks.

    Indeed, it is great offer from Microsoft. But why I cannot use credit card that I have once used with Azure? I mean in case if I exceed this offer limits, Microsoft will be charging me anyway, right? That is why they ask for valid credit card.

      Yes, if you exceed the month limit they will charge you. Also the CC is for identity validation as well.

        Yes, that I understand. 

        My question is why we can't use CC twice? 

        For example, if I want to activate this offer, I will need to provide my CC details. And since I already used my CC to activate other offers, now I cannot use the same CC. I have only one CC. So there is no way for me to activate this offer.
