Whether you attended one of our events, participated in a challenge, or spoke with one of our lovely DevRel Team Members, you likely will have come across one of our coupon codes.
In this blog post, you will learn what a coupon code is and how to redeem it to build amazing things.
A coupon code is our way of encouraging you to build amazing projects. Redeeming a coupon code will increase your account balance and enable you to use this balance for various projects.
Typically, our coupon codes are alphanumeric codes and may be used for workshops, talks, or special events.
These coupon codes will only be valid for a specific period of time, so be sure to redeem them quickly!
To redeem your coupon code, you must create a Vonage API account. Once you have created your account and confirmed your email address, you can view your Dashboard.

On the left-hand side of your dashboard, you will see your balance. Typically, if you create a new account, you will see a balance of €2. (Note: Your balance will be shown in Euro (€) regardless of your location).

Next, click on Billing on the left-hand side, and then click on Coupons.
Enter your coupon code where prompted and click submit.
Note: If this is your first time redeeming a coupon, you will see a prompt to enter a service address first. See the image below. This is done for tax purposes and cannot be skipped. If you don't have a business address, please enter your home address.
Coupon code text boxIf your coupon was successfully redeemed, you will see two things:
A small pop-up with a green border will announce: "Coupon successfully applied."
Your balance will be increased by the coupon amount.
Congratulations, you have successfully redeemed your coupon code!
Coupon Not FoundIf your coupon redemption has failed, you will see a red border around the coupon code box with an error message stating why it failed. In this case, double-check that you have entered the coupon code correctly and try again.
If the redemption keeps failing, please message us on Twitter or send us a message in the Community Slack Channel. Be sure to include the coupon code you are attempting to redeem and the error message you are seeing so we can investigate (and resolve) the problem.
Now, it's your time to build cool projects using Vonage APIs! If you are brand-new to Vonage, take a look at our tutorials. Check out our blog posts if you are looking for new ideas and inspirations.
We hope you feel inspired, and we are looking forward to seeing what you build with your Vonage balance. Tag us on Twitter and share your projects in our Community Slack Channel. If you love creating content around your projects, take a look at our Developer Spotlight Program.
