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.

How long are you wating for the credits now? Most people waited round about 2-10 working days.
 
I have heard you gotta wait 2 weeks. Let's see if it works, keep us posted please.
 
It's been 7 days now. Will see then for few more days
7 business days? monday-friday?
Could take a little bit longer now. The thread with the guide has now over 21.000 views, we might spammed them with applications :D
 
I got it, provide detailed use of OpenaAI.
 
Do you have any tips for getting accepted in the first place?

I did apply and got told my linkedin didn't have enough about start up
 
I got the credit but they hadn't sent me any email about it.


Did you apply through microsoft founders hub?

Yes i did, then after a few days they said my LinkedIn didn't have enough info, so I updated it with a post, etc. and re-applied
 
I managed to get approved for 2 of those 2500$ credit offers, with my real Startup projects, in a legit way...

Needed just one, and probably won't be able to fully spend that either, with my use case, lol.

I doubt those credits will last with fake info, at some point they may contact & ask questions... Also, there are still limits, if not CC verified, the limit is lifted with a $50+ deposit, different account levels, etc. & expiration dates.

I am giving away one of them to my SaaS customer, with an LT deal - https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/r...zon-autoblogging-saas-platform.1480873/page-6
 
Where can I use this API credit (for writing), any advice? Without extra spending.

Update: Merlin - is a good idea?
