[Start building in console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/console/home/)
## Get up to $200 in credits for new customers
When you create a new AWS Free Tier account, you get $100 in credits immediately. As you explore key services, you can earn up to $100 more. That's up to $200 over 6 months to build, break things, and experiment with no charges and no surprise bills on the Free plan. The account closes on its own 6 months after you open it or when your credits run out, whichever comes first. You won't be charged unless you convert to a Paid plan.
