Microsoft 365 Developer Program Eligibility

I was excited to hear all of the buzz around the revamped M365 Dev Program and eligibility for MAICPP participants (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/developer-program/microsoft-365-developer-program) especially for the sandbox subscription benefit:

Eligible MAICPP partner levels include:

  • Azure Expert Managed Service Providers (MSP)
  • Solutions Partners
  • Specialization Partners
  • Managed Partners
  • Microsoft Action Pack Subscribers
  • Partner Success Core Benefits Recipients
  • Partner Success Expanded Benefits Recipients
  • Partner Launch Benefits Recipients
  • Legacy Gold/Silver Partners
 

However, when I log into my dashboard (https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/profile), it says "you don't currently qualify for..." instead of the experience outlined in the help docs and announcements. Has anyone been able to provision a new M365 sandbox subscription with the new provisioning method?

I have reached out to partner support, but they referred me to the dev program alias and nobody there has replied.
