Can I use AWS Credit to purchase Reserved Istances?

0

I've already looked for it in any email and Q&A/Faq all over the AWS environment but I can't find if it is possible to use my AWS Credit to purchase a Reserved Instances and/or a Reserved Amazon RDS. Does anybody know if I buy one, the billing system will use this credit or if it's not intended for this purpose? Thank you very much in advance to everybody who will help me!

AWS credits can't be applied to the upfront costs associated with Reserved Instances. If your credits include Amazon EC2 as an applicable service, they're applied to the discounted hourly rate for any Reserved Instances- https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/purchase-ec2-ri/

No. Reserved Instances require an upfront payment, with one to three years of commitment based on estimated usage, which AWS Promotional Credit are not designed to support. https://aws.amazon.com/vi/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/credits-ri/
