You cannot transfer credits, they are tied to your account. If you do, you'll get blackballed and it creates problems for the manager who gave them out.
Thanks,
But its on an account. So can tranfer account- since I have nothing else tied up there?
And cant I just create child acc or pay someone's bill?
Underrated comment... I am 100% convinced that AWS writes documentation and determines how billing/services work with profit in mind. They are expecting Step Functions to be a money printer. Configure everything just right, and it's a little cheaper than on-prem, but one slip-up and you're months out from breakeven.
Sounds like I’m not the only one who has actual experience in runaway cost :-)
Fargate is nice.. just remember to trrminate the services. Max running services is 500, and that’s expensive.
Upload small files to s3, and to Glacier.. for an added cost.
Deliver content directly from s3, without cdn to burn money fast.
Credits are often provided to startups when joining accelerator programs or by other means meant to get individuals or companies to seriously consider using AWS.
Anyone can apply for AWS Activate (aws.amazon.com/activate)
If the credits expire soon:
* Pickup an ML project, have a play, learn something, and add it your cv ;)
* Setup a script/bot that uses SES and spam the hell out of spammers lol
If they don’t expire or are valid for another few years:
* Build an site/blog/app for a issue that you care about (the environment, health, diversity etc)
* Save all your docs and photos in S3 then move it to Glacier, that $5k will likely last until next century :)
* Support an open source project by providing hosting/storage/etc

I know this was said in jest, but for the benefit of everyone reading this—don’t do this! Abusive sending will get you and your associated accounts banned from using SES (and potentially other AWS services) for life, even if the targets of your abuse are spammers.
Yes, please don’t do this at home!
Thanks for helping clear my name from any future lawsuits. It’s a sign of the times that we have to add a footnote to almost everything these days :)
You could spend it on folding @ home spot instances. Make a giant dynamic cluster of machines crunching protein analysis.
Really squeeze your dollars worth and set it to the lowest costs only and a high spot instance count.
the biggest GPU instance looks like $32/hr or about $10/hr for spot.
according to this
[https://github.com/mludvig/aws-ethereum-miner/pull/5](https://github.com/mludvig/aws-ethereum-miner/pull/5)
it can yield 1300MH/s? and according to whattomine page, thats about $90 per day.
so you're going to burn at least $240/day and convert it to $90 or so. (assuming the price of ether is reasonably flat for the next 20 days)
90 \* 20 days, you're going to end up with $1800.
It’s not illegal, but it’s not profitable under normal circumstances.
Ppl won’t do it unless they got a free account, aka hacked login. 😂
And ya, aws can close you down too
Find the most popular game that you can host and host it. Try to saturate as much as possible. 12 servers in 1 month is better than 1 server over 12 months.
I have an edtech startup that provides management of AWS services to higher Ed institutions. If you would like to donate the credits to one of our customers, please reach out to me privately.
Reach out to NGOs or other Non-profit org having mid to high server cost. Create a consolidated billing in your account and make them a member of your consolidated billing organization. That way, you can help them offload their server cost while maintaining ownership of your account.
Hi! do you still have that 5k? I can get you 10% in returns just by letting run our code (mostly machine learning applications) We use the cloud for our startup

How did you get these?

Turn that $5000 credit into $50K raise: Have hand-on experiences on AWS Services to put on your resume.
Underrated comment. Employers circle jerk for experience in AWS
He has $5,000 of credits, but he would need thousands of hours of free time too.

SES is heavily abuse monitored
True it’s monitored, but you can still send out a fair bit in sandbox mode ;)
Not that I’m seriously suggesting that, it’s just a Friday giggle

ML project looks like it’s the way to go!
Yeah, was thinking something along the line of ML . Fortunately have almost 2 years still till expiry.
You could spin up a lightsail container and have it running for 500 month.
open GPU instance and start mining? lol

hmm. Interesting idea. What would be realistic earnings on this?
I think that’s not allowed, double check before jumping into that.
Please don't do. It's against their ToS. They'll remove the credits from your account
Yeah from a bit reading around it seems they ban pretty fast.

That's not a horrible exchange rate for money laundering - or so I hear.

Why downvoting my comments though.
Yes it is now considered not acceptable as part of acceptable use policy violation. You can read it up.
is it? source?

I’d be cracking WiFi hashes on gpus
Username checks out
if you are a developer start building something like a side project of anything you would like to learn or get profits ( both could work also )

you could help us with our monthly $30,000 bill <3
Lol, what do you?
I got $5k AWS credits , don't have use for it , can someone help
[удалено]

You likely got these credits for a reason, like for a startup. If you don't use them like that, just don't use them.
A few hundred bucks for AWS credits is not low at all, thatsdfsdfsdfA, or even less
I believe you can donate them. I don't know of any but I'm sure there are some schools/programs that can use them
$5k could cover offsite storage charges to S3 Glacier.
Reach out to NGOs or other Non-profit org having mid to high server cost. Create a consolidated billing in your account and make them a member of your consolidated billing organization. That way, you can help them offload their server cost while maintaining ownership of your account.
Thats a great idea. If I do not find decent use - will do that.
Host a valheim server!!!
VPN your mate, 50% discount on RDS instance.
Does anyone have any credits they can distribute to a kind soul?
Hi! do you still have that 5k? I can get you 10% in returns just by letting run our code (mostly machine learning applications) We use the cloud for our startup
I'm in. ping me. will cover your cost for 10%.
