AWS Activate

AWS offers over 200 services worldwide. You can use Activate Credits toward eligible AWS services and support, including infrastructure, machine learning, analytics, and more. For a full list of eligible services, see the AWS Billing and Cost Management console after receiving your approval email. Additional details are in the AWS Activate Terms & Conditions.

AWS Activate Credits cannot be applied to certain AWS Support tiers, AWS Marketplace products (except specific models on Amazon Bedrock), AWS Professional Services, or other ineligible fees. For comprehensive details on what's excluded, review the AWS Promotional Credit Terms & Conditions and the AWS Activate Terms & Conditions.

Once approved, your credits are automatically applied to offset eligible AWS services and support costs. You can track credit usage and expiration dates within the AWS Activate Console or AWS Billing and Cost Management Console.

An organization ID is a numeric code associated with your Activate Provider. It's required if you're applying for the Activate Portfolio package. If you are not affiliated with a provider, you can apply for the Activate Founders package without an organization ID.

Activate Providers are accelerators, venture capital firms, and other startup enablers that collaborate with AWS. They issue organization IDs to qualifying startups, enabling them to apply for and receive AWS Activate Credits.

You can view your AWS Activate Credits balance, expiration date, and usage within both the AWS Billing and Cost Management Console and the AWS Activate Console. Email notifications will also be sent prior to expiration or when approaching full usage.

Activate Credits apply to usage-based fees for Reserved Instances and Savings Plans. However, the upfront costs for RIs or Savings Plans are not covered by AWS Activate Credits.
