The credits are then usable by subscriptions created in that tenant. When you click on the button, what it does is set up a new tenant for your Microsoft account that is associated with your Visual Studio subscription. When you go to my. and browse the benefits that come with your subscription, you are encouraged to activate your Azure credit benefit. Azure MVPs have it even better: they get 1000$ worth of free monthly Azure credit to play around with. Or perhaps you are an MVP or MCT? I am a Microsoft MVP (Office Development category) and an MCT (for Developers), both of which give me access to a Visual Studio Enterprise license, which again gives me 150$/130€ worth of credits per month. Either they’ve paid for it or they’ve got it through the Microsoft Partner Network. If you’ve ever needed to use Visual Studio IDE and/or Azure DevOps Services at work, your employer has probably assigned you a Visual Studio subscription. With that, you can get a certain amount of free Azure credits per month. If you are a developer like me, there’s a good chance that you have some kind of a Visual Studio subscription (previously known as the MSDN subscription).
