I won't sue either, but as I had to pay actual money to be able to use the promotional key — and now lost the ability to use it — I'll do a chargeback via PayPal.

I thought about going to the Verbraucherzentrale, I mean, it's their job to do this.

Prolongation of the deadline wouldn't help me much either, though, because I'd need at least half a year — which they definitely won't give me, I've already asked.

And I was actually planning to switch a new hoster with my servers this month. Won't be DO now.

For what it's worth, they gave me a year.

I am now going through PayPal’s resolution center, asking for the 2 extra years I was promised, or a refund.

(As I don’t have a credit card I had to pay the 5€ activation fee through PayPal)

EDIT: I also sent a message to GitHub’s student contact mail, warning them that they might be on the hook for promising free $100 DO credit for unlimited time, and they might want to ask DO to fix it, or change their advertisement.
