The suggestion of donating these concerns me.
IIUC these credits aren’t transferable so you’d have to set them up with access to an AWS sub account attached to your credit card. Last time I used AWS personally (it’s been a while) there was no way to limit spending in a subaccount.
Giving someone access to your account to burn through exactly $10k in credits where you are on the hook sounds… financially dangerous.
Am I missing something? Is there a way to make sure they only spend the $10k in credits and not a penny more?
- fckthisguy 3y agoA prepaid credit card, or virtual card (like those provided by Wise) would do the trick. Unless AWS doesn't allow those.
