I have created an account to test out development on Azure. Now I need to move my organization to Azure. I would like to take advantage of startup credits.
Is it possible to take advantage of startup credits even though I have already created a Azure account? Each time that I try to access the startup portal, it redirects me to my existing account. Is this even possible at this point.
