AWS credits — buy or sell through AI Credit Mart
What AWS credits are, how they work, the different types available, and how you can buy them below retail or sell unused credits for cash through AI Credit Mart.
AWS credits are prepaid balances that can be used to pay for Amazon Web Services — EC2 instances, S3 storage, Lambda functions, Bedrock AI, databases, and hundreds of other AWS products. They work like a wallet: credits are applied to your AWS account and automatically offset your monthly bill as you consume resources.
Companies and individuals get AWS credits in many ways: through direct purchases, the AWS Activate program for startups, enterprise discount programs, accelerator grants, free tier allowances, or partner promotions. Credits are tied to an AWS account and almost always have an expiry date.
The problem? AWS is the world’s largest cloud provider — and with that scale comes a massive volume of unused credits. Startups pivot, enterprises over-commit, projects get shelved. That’s where AI Credit Mart comes in — we connect sellers with unused AWS credits to buyers who want AWS capacity at below-retail pricing.
Credits purchased directly from Amazon or through a reseller. Applied to your AWS account and consumed as you use services. The most common and flexible type — usable across virtually all AWS products.
Credits from the AWS Activate program for startups. Typically $1k–$100k in free AWS credits depending on the tier. Many startups receive these but end up building on a different cloud or using only a fraction.
Credits tied to an AWS EDP — a volume commitment where an organisation agrees to a minimum AWS spend over a set period. Unused EDP capacity is one of the largest sources of surplus credits on the market.
Credits for AWS Bedrock — Amazon’s managed AI service that provides access to foundation models. As companies experiment with AI at different speeds, Bedrock credits frequently go unused.
AWS credits granted through accelerator programs like Y Combinator, Techstars, or AWS Partner Network incentives. Often time-limited and go unused when the startup’s cloud strategy shifts.
Prepaid commitments for specific compute capacity (EC2, Fargate, Lambda) at discounted rates. When workloads change, this pre-purchased capacity can go partially or fully unused.
EC2 instances, ECS, EKS, Lambda, Fargate, Lightsail, App Runner — any compute workload running on Amazon’s infrastructure. The most common use of AWS credits.
Bedrock, SageMaker, Comprehend, Rekognition, Transcribe, Polly — all of Amazon’s AI and ML products can be paid for with credits.
RDS, Redshift, DynamoDB, Athena, EMR, Kinesis, Glue, QuickSight — credits cover the full AWS data and analytics stack.
S3, EBS, CloudFront, VPC, Direct Connect, Route 53, Elastic Load Balancing, Global Accelerator — infrastructure at every layer.
IAM, KMS, Secrets Manager, GuardDuty, Security Hub, WAF, Shield — security services are covered by AWS credits.
CodePipeline, CodeBuild, CloudWatch, X-Ray, CloudFormation, Systems Manager — the full operations and developer toolkit on AWS.
Whether you have unused credits to sell or need AWS capacity at a lower price — we can help.
Get AWS credits at a discount from verified sellers with unused capacity. EC2, Bedrock, S3, Lambda — any AWS product. Sourced and delivered in days. No long-term commitment.

Yes. Most AWS credits have an expiry date. Activate credits typically expire 12–24 months after activation. EDP credits expire at the end of the contract term. Promotional credits vary. Once expired, unused credits are lost — which is why selling them before expiry makes sense.
AWS credits are non-transferable by default. However, the value can be transferred through legitimate business mechanisms — sub-contracting, reseller arrangements, managed service structures, and AWS Organizations account management. AI Credit Mart handles this process for you.
An AWS account is where your resources and billing live. AWS credits are a payment method applied to an account. Credits automatically offset your monthly bill — if you have $10k in credits and use $8k of AWS services, you pay nothing and your credit balance drops to $2k.
Yes. AWS credits can be used for Bedrock and all other AI services on AWS, including SageMaker, Comprehend, and Rekognition. Bedrock is one of the fastest-growing uses of AWS credits as companies scale AI workloads.
Log into the AWS Management Console, go to Billing and Cost Management, and select Credits. You’ll see your available balance, expiry dates, and which services each credit applies to. You can also check via the AWS Billing API.
AWS credits are prepaid balances that offset your bill dollar-for-dollar. Savings Plans are commitments to a minimum hourly spend in exchange for discounted rates — you still pay, just less. Both can result in unused capacity that can be sold through AI Credit Mart.
Yes. While credits can’t be directly transferred, value can be moved through legitimate business mechanisms that work within Amazon’s framework. AI Credit Mart only uses methods that comply with AWS’s terms. No accounts are transferred, no ToS violations.
No. We never contact Amazon or disclose identities. The transfer mechanisms we use are standard business arrangements that don’t trigger any notifications. Your AWS relationship stays completely intact.
They’re gone. Expired credits cannot be recovered or extended. That’s why selling unused credits before expiry is the smart move — you recover cash value instead of losing the credits entirely.
