When looking for ways to get free AWS credits to be used on AWS services such as LLM training for your AI SaaS or EC2 instances, I discovered many resources that provide broken or stale links (or worse, harmful links), so I thought providing this list would be helpful for many Finxters.
To obtain free AWS credits, consider the following programs:
- AWS Activate: Ideal for startups, AWS Activate provides up to $100,000 in AWS promotional credits to help grow your business. With resources available quickly, it offers a low-cost, easy-to-use infrastructure.
- AWS Activate Founders: A part of AWS Activate, this package is for bootstrapped and self-funded startups. It offers credits, resources, and dedicated support to help startups build, test, and deploy on AWS.
- AWS Activate Portfolio: Aimed at startups affiliated with an AWS Activate Provider, this package provides up to $100,000 in AWS Activate Credits for AWS services or AWS Activate Business Support credits for technical support.
- Publish an Alexa Skill: Developers can earn a $100 AWS promotional credit for each Alexa skill published, aiding in unlocking your skills’ potential.
- AWS Webinars & Events: Attend AWS webinars, events, and conferences to earn AWS credits. Proof of attendance is required. Often, you’ll get an email inviting you to an event to gain AWS credits.
- AWS Educate: Designed for institutions, educators, and students to learn cloud skills, AWS Educate provides AWS credits for hands-on experience with AWS tech and training.
- AWS Cloud Credits for Research: This program evaluates academic research, awarding credits to researchers building cloud-hosted services or migrating research processes to the cloud.
- AWS Imagine Grant Program: Open to registered 501(c) nonprofit organizations, this grant provides up to $100,000 in AWS Promotional Credit to those using technology to address critical global issues.
- AWS Free Tier: A great option for new users to access AWS products at no cost up to specified limits for one year from account creation.
- Customer Surveys: I get an email from AWS asking me to complete a customer survey roughly every quarter. The survey takes 15 minutes to complete, and I’ll get a $100 credit.
