Right now, the main RunPod credit offer we track is the new-user bonus credit program. After you create a new account, add a payment method, and then actually spend roughly $10 on RunPod usage, RunPod awards a one-time bonus credit amount that can be small or surprisingly large. Those bonus credits can typically be used across core services like Pods, Serverless, and storage. This page lists the current program details, the steps to qualify, and what to watch for (like “spend” vs “deposit”).

Yes. If you have RunPod credits you won’t use, you can list them on AI Credit Mart and sell to buyers looking for cheaper GPU compute. You set your price, and buyers get credits at a discount versus paying RunPod directly.

On AI Credit Mart, unused credits across providers often trade at about 20–40% off. The exact discount on RunPod credits depends on supply, remaining balance, and how quickly a seller wants to move them. If you’re flexible, you can usually find a better deal.

You don’t get the bonus just for signing up. You need to (1) create a new RunPod account, (2) add a payment method, (3) load funds, and then (4) spend about $10 on real usage. After that first spend, RunPod automatically grants a one-time bonus credit that’s randomly sized, from a few dollars to a few hundred. It shows up in your account balance and can be used for RunPod services, but it can’t be withdrawn as cash.
