title: GCP "12 Months 300$ Free Trial" removed due to billing account change?
body: <p>I registered few months ago on the google cloud platform for the &quot;12 months 300$ trial&quot; to test the possibilities of the cloud.</p>
  <p>On top of gcp there was always a banner saying how many days and how many $ left for trial period.</p>
  <p>When the first billing with 0$ came in, I got a lot of trouble with our accountant because the bill wasn't set on our company but personal/private.</p>
  <p>After a lot of problems adding a new payment method for a new billing account (also with Google Billing Support) - Long story short: I had to delete the private billing account and added a new company billing account.</p>
  <p>Now I do not have that free trial banner with information anymore.</p>
  <p>Rereading the conditions I'd say there should be no problem:</p>
  <ul>
  <li>1.1 The Free Trial applies only to the use of the Services.</li>
  <li>1.2 Only new Google Cloud Platform customers are eligible to participate in the Free Trial.</li>
  <li>1.3 The Free Trial starts when Customer creates a billing account in the Google Cloud Console (“Free Trial Start Date”) and ends on the earlier of (i) the date that Customer’s fees for usage exceeds $300 or (ii) 12 months from the Free Trial Start Date.</li>
  </ul>
  <p>So:</p>
  <ul>
  <li>How can I verify if I am still in the trial phase?</li>
  <li>If I got kicked out, what can I do to continue the trial phase?</li>
  <li>Is there anything else I'm probably missing?</li>
  </ul>
  <p>Thank you for your time!</p>

  <p>Sidenote (or better said my opinion):
  Until now I didn't try more than the AppEngine.
  With all the problems that I had with the payment method verification and the support (took 1 1/2 months), now loosing the free trial phase, I must say that I did not enjoy this whole bureaucracy in any way and am almost done with the &quot;cloud hype&quot;, feeling to me like a &quot;big giant buzzword bureaucracy monster&quot; :'(.</p>
