Before you sign up
- The $100 is a credit, not a free tier. When it is used up Microsoft emails to ask whether you want to move to pay-as-you-go; if you do not, the subscription and its products are switched off. Anything you have running stops with them.
- Moving to pay-as-you-go is where the card comes back. The offer opens without one, and continuing past the credit does not.
- One account per person. The 12 months of free monthly amounts on the popular services are for new Azure customers only, so an old account narrows what this is worth.
