Nope. Dev team has to look into it.

Upon checking with Linode support team. The promo code applies only for the new account :) @ben @jess Please check this issue. Thanks!

@qainsights Unfortunately, it looks like the credit is only available to new accounts. We've updated the announcement post to reflect this. Apologies for the confusion here. You can still make a new account with a separate email address to receive the $100 credit. Hope this helps!

No problem. I contacted the Linode support, they added the credit to my existing account :)

My new account is under review, I don't even know that they need to review it for registration.
