Two clocks run against you. The thirty day activation confirmation is the one people lose the whole offer to, and after that an account sitting unused for three months gets a warning and then thirty days before removal. The region choice cannot be undone.

What the terms actually say
The largest observability offer we have verified, and the one with the most ways to lose it. You cannot apply directly: the FAQ states that all applicants must come through a referral partner, which means a VC, accelerator or technology partner from the list in the application dropdown. After acceptance you have thirty days to confirm activation or the acceptance expires. An account left inactive for three months gets a warning and then thirty days before removal. The data region you pick is permanent. Prior Datadog customers and anyone who has had these credits before are excluded.
Who can claim it, in Datadog's words
Series A or earlier, new to Datadog, and referred by an official partner. There is no direct route.
What you get without this
The standard fourteen day Datadog trial, then list pricing per host.
We list a perk because it beats walking up to the vendor unannounced. If it ever stops doing that, it comes off the index.
