Hello guys,
I’m seeking some advice regarding the process of redeeming $2500 OpenAI credits through the Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub. I’ve successfully applied and received approval, and I see multiple services available for redemption, including OpenAI. However, I’m encountering some confusion post-application.
After selecting OpenAI and proceeding to ‘redeem > activate’, I’m directed to a form requesting details like first name, last name, email, and organization ID. Upon submission, I receive a “Thank you for your submission” message, but I haven’t yet received the credits. I’m curious about what happens next and if there are additional steps I need to take.
I’ve used my personal email for this process, the same one linked to my OpenAI and LinkedIn accounts. Could this affect the verification process? I’ve also noticed some discussions suggesting that further verification with OpenAI might be necessary.
Could anyone who has gone through this process provide some guidance? Did you encounter similar issues, and how did you resolve them? Any insights or steps I might have missed would be greatly appreciated.
I’ve included some images for context and clarification.
