Extending credits

Question

Hi, we expect the bulk of our work to come next year but our credits are expiring. What is the process for extending credits by another year?

Thanks.

Hi Andres Restrepo,

Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.

To qualify for an extension of your Azure credits, you'll need to reach the next level based on your current level by meeting the following criteria:

• Your business must be a verified legal entity.
• If you received a $25,000 Azure credit offer, at least 50% of those credits must be used.
• Your business must have a verified domain.
• You must provide a business contact email.
• You must submit a product demo video.
• You must add a new team member to your account.

Since your account has a strong Engagement score, sign in to the Founders Hub and go to the Home page to complete the tasks listed in your verification checklist.

Your account will be reviewed about 45 days before your credits expire. If all requirements are met and your account is approved, you’ll automatically receive additional credits and program time.

Please note that the only way to extend your credits is to reach the next level before your current credits expire.
