No, credits can't be used for purchases beyond the credit expiry. This is how AWS[0] limits it: > Promotional Credit will be applied only to offset eligible fees and charges incurred during or following the billing cycle in which you apply the applicable Promotional Credit code to your AWS account. Promotional Credit will be applied only to the specific Services designated by your AWS contracting entity (collectively, “Eligible Services”). Promotional Credit will not be applied to any fees or charges for Amazon Mechanical Turk, AWS Managed Services, Ineligible AWS Support, AWS Marketplace, AWS Professional Services, AWS Training, AWS Certification, Amazon Route 53 domain name registration or transfer, any Services for mining for cryptocurrency, any other Services as may be designated by your AWS contracting entity, or any upfront fee for any Services such as Savings Plans and Reserved Instances (collectively, “Ineligible Services”). For purposes of this Section 1, “Ineligible AWS Support” means AWS Support (as described on the AWS Site) that is at the Enterprise Support level. Can't find the relevant GCP doc, but I'm sure that is similarly limited. [0]: https://aws.amazon.com/awscredits/ https://aws.amazon.com/awscredits/
