$100 free AWS credits (instant)

awson

1. Go to https://aws.amazon.com/big-data/powerof60/, complete the short form to the right. Only the email really needs to be accurate.
2. You should get an automated email within ~5 minutes with a coupon which you can redeem at https://aws.amazon.com/awscredits/.
3. The credits should be applied, and expire in 11-12 months (check the date).

Only one coupon can be applied per account, though.

Got it. Thanks!

Signed up, thanks. I can't believe they say $100 will only get you 600 hours though.

Another thing to note -

AWS Credits will expire 60 days after the date of issue or on March 1, 2014 (whichever occurs first).

600 hours on a small EC2 instance. And you don't necessarily have to use them for EC2, use them for Route 53, SES, whatever.

Not sure about that. The credits page say they don't expire for a year, guess we'll just wait and see.

Odd, still working here. I've PM'd you a code.

Droidzone

Got it, thanks @awson

DalComp

Thanks, I just got mine.
Hopefully can be used for previous months outstanding balance for excessive usage of their free tier.

It goes towards your monthly bill, so any charges in September will be covered by the credits.

DalComp

Let's see end of month then.

Worked for me, same expiry date.

Sent.

Me too, would appreciate it.

Done.

I've edited the OP since it does takes a bit more than 1-2 minutes, but it is automated.

rldowling03

Sweet. Free Route 53 for a year was going to switch to Rage4 since amazons geolocation for DNS is pretty pathetic as it only supports their locations but free for a year I can't complain

GaNi

Would like to have the code too. Thanks!

vectorian

I got mine too...

fan

Weird, waited over two hours still no coupon mail in my inbox. If anyone has some extra codes could you please let me have one? Thanks in advance.

awson

@fan: Sent you a code.

I too have noticed something's up with their system. Not sure what.

Thank you very much, perhaps the problem is on salesforce, the form is actually handled by them.

bdtech

Maybe because they dont want to handout 100 bucks to all?

It's automatic, not manually approved.

ocean

Didn't ave any mail received after 1hour.
Can anyone send me a code?

Done.

I have just over a dozen leftover codes, if anyone wants one (until the form works again), send me a PM.

ocean

@awson

Big Thanks.

fly

@awson anything left?

awson

@fly Yeah, I sent you a code.

StellaEV

@awson Can I have one as well?

bcrlsn

I'll take one as well @awson.

Thanks.

nunim

Didn't get an email either If you've still got codes I'd appreciate one as my AWS free tier runs out tomorrow.

black

Do you have to give them a credit card when activating the EC2's?

black

@Zen said:
I just exited that window, no issue!

Have you tried deploying a EC2 instance?

awson

@black Pretty sure your AWS account needs an active debit/credit card linked to it at all times.

stirfriedpenquin

@awson PM me a code?

Ah ok. I created one and I was able to get the credits, but when I tried to create a EC2 instance it kept asking me for a credit card.

awson

@stirfriedpenquin done.

I'm out of codes now, so those who want one will need to wait for the form to work again.

DalComp

Get a VCC/VCN with $1 balance.

StellaEV

thanks @awson

rds100

@DalComp where do you get these?

Ruchirablog

got one thanks to awson and redeemed!

ewangke

Filled the form twice, didn't get the redeem code.
It said "An Amazon Web Services representative will contact you." and I got no mails.

Could anyone PM me a code?
Many thanks!

MuZo

@DalComp also interested where you get those vccs

DalComp

@rds100 @MuZo

I used to buy VCC in local forums, just pick someone reputable with a bunch of feedbacks. But now my bank (Indonesia) may issue one-time Mastercard VCN, with any balance I want it, as soon as I request it with text message.

Netxons

Can you kindly PM me the code as well? Thanks in advance.

spekk

@Netxons There is no unique code, it's a voucher, and each person receives a different voucher. I completed the form too to see if I receive something, if I don't and others will, it may be a country/free email/job combination thing.

Where I can get that voucher? I didn't receive any email or phone call from there?
