Google Cloud advertises US$300 in Welcome credit for eligible new customers for 90 days, with no acquisition charge, plus free monthly usage allowances for 20+ products. While the account remains in free-trial status, GPUs cannot be attached to VMs and the trial credit cannot pay for Gemini API in AI Studio or partner generative-AI managed APIs; credits are advertised, not confirmed received.

Free-trial billing accounts cannot add GPUs to Compute Engine VMs; the $300 credit cannot cover Gemini API in AI Studio or third-party generative AI partner managed APIs. Eligible new customers only; trial expires in 90 days or when credit is depleted.
