Do I need a credit card to claim free AI credits?

Most offers don't ask for one. A few providers require a card for identity verification but won't charge it, and we flag that clearly on the deal page so there are no surprises.

Can students get free AI credits?

Definitely. Many AI tools run education programs that give students free or heavily discounted access, usually with just a school email. Use the student filter on the deals list to see them all in one place.

How do I claim a credit or discount?

Open the deal, check the eligibility conditions, then follow the claim link to the provider's official page. Most offers are approved instantly or within a few days. You never claim through us, always directly from the provider.

Do AI credits expire?

Usually yes, most credits are valid for 3 to 12 months once redeemed. Each deal page lists the validity window when the provider publishes one, so redeem when you're ready to use them.

How often is this list updated?

Weekly. New offers are added as providers announce them, and existing ones are re-checked on a rolling basis. Anything expired or broken gets removed.
