FYI: It only goes downhill from this 😄

Yes! This is fun!

Try creating anything in Azure like a Compute instance after signing. It tells you: "This service is not available on your Free Trial subscription".

Okay. The Subscription shows one Subscription, but not which type it is or how to change it! This is bonkers.

Peter, if you're still not too deep and not forced to use Azure, use something else 😀 For your own sanity!

Had exactly the same experience this week 🤬

well that's good because it means that they must be working on a hotfix already!

I doubt it. By sending out unique signup links they get a bonus. The sales team has zero incentive to report that signup is broken.
@mhadaily.bsky.social can you report this internally?
