Actually, they only emailed users to warn them about this ca. 10 days before it was revoked.

I had gotten $100 promotional credit from DO with the GitHub student pack, and planned to use it in my second year of university, as I knew we had to do a practical project there where I’d need it. Well, a few weeks before that project was about to start, I got the email from DO telling me they’d invalidate all my credit next week. In the end, I hosted that project with OVH, and spent over 80€ on it.

But that was extremely annoying, and while I originally wanted to also move servers of a few projects I was hosting to DO, after this I decided not to.

I said 1 month because the initial email I got was on 3/31/16, stating expiration effective 5/1, then another email retracting the expiration of my referral credits on 4/27.
