Hosting credits are not currency. Most startups will never need anything close to $5000 in AWS credits.
Not to mention that AWS basically gives them out like candy. I have several grand in AWS credit just from attending hackathons and conferences.

- cperciva 11y agoAlso, AWS credits usually last 12 months. You can spend $416.67/month at AWS with just one EC2 instance.
- morgante 11y agoIt might be easy, but that doesn't mean it happens to the vast majority of startups. The majority of startups never get any real traction and see only a small trickle of traffic every day.
