Student account fee (edu).

Question

Hello I come from Vietnam.
I signed up for a student gmail (edu) account to receive free 100$. I have been using it for almost 1 month and the fee is already 120 $.
If I don't upgrade my account , will I have to pay a fee of 20 $ ? My account does not have VISA and Mastercard payment cards.
Thanks you very much.

Answer 1

You get only 100$ credit to use. Once that is used up, subscription gets disabled. Maybe 120$ is just the estimate and not the actual cost yet?

@hoan nguyen viet Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting your query here!

• After you exhaust your available credit or reach the end of 12 months, your Azure subscription becomes disabled. To continue using Azure, you may upgrade to a pay-as-you-go subscription in the Azure Account portal. To get detailed terms of use for Azure for Students, please visit the offer terms.
• Subscriptions provide access to Azure services. Azure for Students gives you $100 credit for 12 months. It includes access to more than 25 free services, including compute, network, storage, and databases. Any charges incurred during this period are deducted from the credit. To continue using Azure services at the end of 12 months or after you've exhausted your $100 credit, whichever occurs first, you must upgrade to a pay-as-you-go subscription.
• If you decide not to upgrade at the end of 12 months or after you've exhausted your $100 credit, whichever occurs first, any products you've deployed are decommissioned and you won't be able to access them. You have 90 days from the end of your free subscription to upgrade to a pay-as-you-go subscription.

Azure for Students Starter is available to verified students at no cost and without commitment or time limit. See the Azure for Students Starter Offer for detailed terms of use.
