Does GCP free trial credit continue if I just upgraded my billing account?

I just signed up for Google Cloud Platform's free trial, and the clicked to upgrade my billing account because it said I needed that to be eligible for the "Always Free" program.

However, what I am not sure about is if that took away the $300 credit that I received from the free trial (I literally just signed up, so the time didn't expire or anything).

Do I still have that $300 credit? If not, is there a way to get it back?

UPDATE: Google terms have been updated and now the credits expire after 90 days, the right answer now is https://stackoverflow.com/a/65745613/797708

You should have the credit, it's explained on the free-tier documentation

When you upgrade:

Any remaining, unexpired free trial credit remains in your account.

Earlier answer is outdated. As of August 17, 2020 new terms state that "users now have 90 days to use their $300 USD in Google Cloud credits." After 90 days any unused credits will expire.

For full details please see Supplemental Terms and Conditions For Google Cloud Platform Free Trial.
