IBM Cloud Code BUYBRS: $5,000 Backup and Recovery Credit for 90 Days

IBM Cloud currently displays promo code BUYBRS for US$5,000 in credit lasting 90 days on eligible IBM Cloud Backup and Recovery services. The official page says the promotion is valid for new clients and lists December 31, 2026 as the expiry date. This can materially reduce the cost of a qualifying evaluation, but it should not be described as a permanent free backup service.

Payment details are required for the IBM Cloud account, and charges can apply to usage that is outside the eligible backup-and-recovery scope, exceeds the credit or continues after the 90-day promotional window. Confirm that BUYBRS is still published, verify new-client eligibility, read the exact service conditions and check that the credit appears in the account before moving production data or creating billable resources. IBM does not publish an expiry time or timezone on the page, so DealVorio records the official date in attributes rather than inventing a precise valid_through timestamp.
