AWS Free Associate voucher

I understand your concern about the disappearance of the Associate level free voucher redemption option. Based on available information, the 100% discount Associate Voucher that was previously available for 5200 points in the AWS Emerging Talent Community (ETC) Rewards Tab has indeed been removed.

As of March 24, the AWS Emerging Talent program has been undergoing maintenance, which could be affecting the visibility or availability of certain rewards, including certification vouchers. However, there's no clear information on whether this voucher will be added back or if it has been permanently removed.

Many ETC members have reported the same issue and expressed disappointment about the unexpected disappearance of the AWS associate 100% voucher that they had been collecting points for.

If you need more specific information about the current status of the Associate Voucher and whether it will be reinstated, I would recommend reaching out directly to AWS Customer Support through the support contact page. AWS has acknowledged these concerns and suggested contacting their Customer Support team for further assistance.

In the meantime, there are still other options for obtaining discounts on AWS certification exams:

1. The AWS Emerging Talent Community typically offers a 50% discount voucher for associate-level exams
2. If you've previously passed an AWS certification, you may be eligible for a 50% discount on your next exam
3. AWS occasionally runs certification challenges that provide discounts
