Starting with your AWS Activate Credits
If your application for credits is approved, you will receive an email informing you of the approval and the value of your credits. Your AWS Activate Credits are automatically applied to your AWS account upon receipt of your application approval email. You don't need to take any action. AWS Activate Credits are automatically applied against your monthly bill.
You can find the exact credit amount, expiration date, remaining balance of your AWS Activate Credits, and the applicable AWS services in the bottom section of the Credits Page on the AWS Billing and Cost Management Console.
If your application for credits is denied, you will still have access to your resources within the AWS Activate Console, and can apply for credits again as your startup continues to evolve.
