Attended a startup event where Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced a $1000 credit valid for two years.

Wanted to share for all those potential Aussie tech founders out there!

  I haven't received any email correspondence as yet, but I just checked the credits section (https://console.aws.amazon.com/billing/home?#/credits) and there's $1000 credit! It has an expiration date of 31/08/2019.

  I have no idea how long that has been sitting there for. The only thing I did was update billing information yesterday (as per the OP), but I never checked for credits until now. Thanks OP!! This will come in handy for my humble start up :)

    thorpef1 on 18/08/2017 - 08:29

    You currently have no redeemable credits.

    :(

    flangeflange on 01/09/2017 - 13:11

    what do you mean you updated billing information yesterday (as per the OP)? is it a requirement to update your billing info?

    • 

      jcrew on 04/09/2017 - 22:06

      The billing info wasn't up to date so I updated it. I was just pointing that out as there was not other reason I could pin point on why it was approved, other than the fact that the business is a legitimate start up.

  PeterC86 on 17/08/2017 - 21:29

  rejected despite meeting criteria.

    tech777 on 22/08/2017 - 18:59

    How do you the application got rejected, did you get E-mail?

    • 

      PeterC86 on 08/09/2017 - 18:50

      yes got an email saying it was not accepted or something generic

• 

  lukira nasimura on 18/08/2017 - 09:50

  Lucky, mine was approved last night. I can see the $1000 credit on my billing console.
  Not sure if it made a difference but when I noticed in the initial application confirmation email from AWS, there were 3 hyperlinks to learn about AWS and they looked like they have embedded unique id within the url, which I thought they may be tracking, so I clicked on them anyway.

  • 

    PeterC86 on 18/08/2017 - 12:42

    that could possibly be it. i didnt click them. oh well!

• 

  damage on 18/08/2017 - 11:41

  Mine also came through as approved.

• 

  brettule on 18/08/2017 - 12:26

  Mine rejected too. They give no reason. Anyone know why?

  • 

    tech777 on 22/08/2017 - 12:00

    How do you the application is rejected, did you get E-mail?

• 

  dsl1108 on 19/08/2017 - 23:57

  they found me is a free tier user and has serval years experience with AWS, thats maybe the reason for rejection

  Congratulations! Your application for the AWS Activate Builders program has been approved. We're excited to help you get started with building your business on AWS.

  AWS Promotional Credits
  We've applied $1,000 in AWS Promotional Credits to your account. To view your credit balance, applicable services, and expiration date, log in to the AWS Billing and Cost Management console and click on "Credits."

  Lucky me, I was approved back on the 18th of Aug

  Now I'm currently trying to upload 2TB worth of DNA sequencing data via my home broadband connection. Which caps at 2Mbps (1.5Mbps effectively). Only going to take 4374 Hours, 30 Minutes and 13 Seconds, if all goes well. SO only half a year, good thing the credit has a 2yr expiry.

  Might need to use the AWS Snowball. Costs "seem" to be included as eligible spend for the credit, but can't tell if that's just the xfer once they have the snowball.

  Does anyone know for sure?
