Your AWS Activate Credits Are About to Expire
Every year, hundreds of millions of dollars in AWS Activate credits expire unused. Startups raise on AI/cloud-heavy theses, get $25K-$100K in credits, then pivot, slow down, or switch providers - leaving most of the credits to evaporate.
If your AWS Activate credits are approaching expiration and you can't realistically burn them, you have one option to recover real value: sell them through AI Credits at 50-70% of face value.

How AWS Activate Credit Expiration Works
AWS Activate credits have hard expiration dates:
| Tier | Typical Validity | Extension Possible? |
|---|---|---|
| Founders ($1K) | 12 months | No |
| Portfolio ($5K-$25K) | 12-24 months | No |
| Portfolio Plus ($25K-$100K) | 24 months | No |
| Strategic ($100K+) | Custom | Negotiable |
The key fact: Once expired, credits go to zero. No refunds, no extensions, no transfers to other AWS services. They simply disappear.

Why You Can't Burn All Your AWS Credits
Common scenarios that strand AWS credits:
- Pivot away from AI - Your AI feature got cut, the heavy compute it required is no longer needed
- Migration to other clouds - You moved to Vercel, Cloudflare, or another provider for ecosystem reasons
- Slower growth than projected - Your accelerator gave you $50K in credits assuming you'd hit certain milestones
- Product simplification - You removed expensive ML workflows or eliminated dependency on AWS-only services
- Team changes - Engineering team turnover means nobody remembers how to fully utilize the AWS account
What Your Expiring Credits Are Worth
| Time Until Expiration | Recovery Rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 12+ months | 60-70% | Maximum value, easiest to sell |
| 6-12 months | 50-60% | Strong recovery |
| 3-6 months | 40-50% | Still worth selling |
| 1-3 months | 25-40% | Limited buyer pool |
| < 1 month | 10-25% | Very difficult |
Example: $50,000 in AWS Activate credits expiring in 8 months could recover $25,000-$30,000 through AI Credits.

What If You Have Less Than 30 Days?

If you have credits about to expire, contact AI Credits immediately - even partial recovery is better than zero.
Don't Make These Mistakes
- Waiting until the last week - the closer to expiration, the lower the recovery rate
- Trying to sell on gray-market forums - no buyer protection, scam risk, no escrow
- Hoping AWS will extend - they won't, no exceptions to the policy
- Spinning up wasteful workloads - running services you don't need just to burn credits is bad business
- Ignoring the credits - watching $50K expire is real money lost
