My $150 azure benefit is not working. Every time I open it, it says it has already been used.

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to access my $150 monthly credit on azure, and every time I open it, it says "You can’t activate this Visual Studio benefit more than once". Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Thanks,

Vikram

@Vikram - Welcome to Microsoft Q&A and thanks for reaching out to us.

This error message usually appears when you have already activated your Visual Studio benefit on Azure in the past.

Please try the following steps and see if it helps:

1. Check if you have already activated your Visual Studio benefit on Azure by logging into the Azure portal and navigating to the "Subscriptions" page. If you see your Visual Studio subscription listed there, then you have already activated your benefit.

If you have not already activated your Visual Studio benefit on Azure, then you can try signing out of the Azure portal and signing back in again. Sometimes, this can resolve the issue.

1. If that doesn't work, you can try clearing your browser cache and cookies, and then signing back into the Azure portal.
2. If none of the above steps work, you can contact Microsoft support for further assistance.

UPDATE: To contact Azure support, you can create a support request by visiting the following link:
