you can easily upgrade your account from free to trial and get a $1200 credit in IBM Cloud at the same time.

For this, open an account in Cognitive Class, using your IBM Id.

Then register for a class, whichever you want. How to build a chatbot for instance. You can now claim your Gift.

Now log in in your IBM Cloud account and go to your account settings. Click on “Apply Code” and enter your code.

You now have a trial account with $1200 credit. You cannot see this credit by itself in the Account page as it is in the Trial account itself.
