Well I must say that was worth doing. I decided to Activate my Azure account via my MSDN (which I already have done) and it created me another Azure account. My old Azure account that I am using has a free credit of $110 (and its linked to my MSDN Premium account). My new Azure account it just created has given me a spending limit of $210 (and its linked to my work MSDN Professional account). What the...?
Also I'm paying money for the Premium one (for a couple of websites and databases. Not sure if i've gone over my freebie amount, don't think I have yet) Guess its time to ping the MSDN guys on the support chat. At least I'm in the competition now. :) On Fri, Aug 23, 2013 at 3:15 PM, Stephen Price <[email protected]>wrote: > I'm using mine already. I guess I miss out on the competition.
