Hi there,
Thanks for your interest in this hackathon. You can sign up via AWS builder ID (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/signin/latest/userguide/sign-in-aws_builder_id.html) where a credit card is not needed. It's a personal profile for accessing specific AWS tools and services like Amazon CodeWhisperer, Amazon Q Developer, and AWS Training and Certification, but not for managing and deploying resources in an AWS account. You still need an actual AWS account to provision resources like Amazon S3 or EC2 and to use tools like the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or SDKs for building applications. Additionally, here is more info on Setting up your AWS payment preferences (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/manage-payment-method.html).

Hi there,
You can get started with the free version. Once all credits are used, you can choose to upgrade to a premium plan.
Here is a blog post explaining in detail: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/aws-free-tier-update-new-customers-can-get-started-and-explore-aws-with-up-to-200-in-credits/.
