Grants rarely move between accounts
Most AWS promotional credits cannot be transferred to another account. Selling the grant itself is usually blocked by the program terms.

Why unused AWS credits go to waste
Activate and promotional AWS balances rarely move to another account. If burn is low, the remainder expires — StackCredits pays for agreed usage instead.
Balance sits until expiry
If your burn is low, Activate credits can expire with a large remainder still unused — cash you never received.
You keep billing control
StackCredits does not take over the account. You keep the AWS console, root access, and the ability to revoke the key.
Boundaries
What stays yours on AWS
You keep
The AWS account, root access, billing alerts, and the grant itself. Nothing is transferred off your console.
We need
A limited IAM or API credential you create, plus the remaining balance and expiry date. No root password.
Three steps for AWS credits
01
Tell us the balance and window
Share how much AWS credit is left and when it expires. We confirm whether the remaining window is enough to set up.
02
Issue a restricted key
You create a limited IAM or API credential — not your root password. We start with a small usage test.
03
Get paid for real usage
An agreed share of the credits gets used. You see every charge in the AWS console and receive payouts on the agreed schedule.
Payout rates
Payouts for AWS usage
Rates depend on remaining balance and how much time is left on the AWS window. Send the numbers — we reply with a clear path. Full rate bands live on the homepage.

FAQ
Usually no — promotional AWS credits stay tied to your account. StackCredits is different: the credits remain yours, and you get paid for agreed usage through a restricted key.
No. We only need a limited credential you control. You can revoke access at any time.
Yes. Every charge appears in your AWS billing and cost tools. We start small so you can verify before scaling.
Tell us how much time is left. If the window is enough, we can still set it up; if not, we will say so upfront.
