Frequently asked questions
What exactly is the promotional credit?
A one-time Google Cloud promotional code worth $4,999. Your billing contact redeems it inside Google Cloud → Billing → Promotional credits. Once redeemed, the credit offsets Vertex AI, Gemini API and related SKU charges for 12 months.
Is this an official Google program?
VertexCredits s.r.o. is an independent intake and verification partner. We assist eligible EEA organizations with claiming legitimate promotional credits made available through Google Cloud's partner channels. We are not Google.
Do I need to submit financial information?
No. We collect your Google Cloud organization ID, authorised billing contact email, and workload description. We never ask for payment cards, bank details, or financial statements.
What services does the credit cover?
Vertex AI (prediction, training, pipelines, endpoints), Gemini API (Pro, Flash, context caching, multimodal), Tokens API for Gemini, BigQuery ML, and selected Google Cloud compute SKUs used in Cloud Next reference architectures. Full SKU list is sent with your approval email.
How long does the review take?
Typical review completes within 2 business days. Larger organizations with complex billing hierarchies or multiple projects may take up to 5 business days.
Can I apply more than once?
Each organization is eligible for one credit per 12 months. If your organization has multiple billing accounts, indicate the preferred one on the form — we apply the credit there.
What is the deadline?
Applications must be submitted by November 3, 2026. Credits issued after this date are not guaranteed. Early applications are prioritised.
What happens with my data?
We process the submitted information under GDPR for the sole purpose of verifying eligibility and delivering the promotional code. We do not sell, share, or use it for marketing. Full details in our privacy policy.
Can I cancel my application?
Yes. Email [email protected] at any time before approval — we delete your submission within 48 hours. After approval, the code remains yours to use or ignore.
What if my organization is outside the EU / EEA?
This specific program covers EU and EEA entities. If you are elsewhere, email us — we can refer you to the correct regional partner if one exists.
