| Free tier | KRW 300,000 of credit to a new account that registers a payment method and is approved: '가입만 하시면, 30만 크레딧을 바로 드립니다'.

| Identity | card a payment method plus a vendor approval: the credit is granted on registering a payment method (the account application step), after signup and console login, followed by an approval mail and then the credit, so the gate is a manual approval on top of the payment method rather than a signup form. No authorisation or hold amount is stated, and whether the payment method may be a debit or prepaid card is not stated: unknown. GPU Server and Bare Metal Server need a 1:1 console enquiry first. |

| Composes with | KRW 300,000 at Korean list prices buys roughly 15 months of a 1 vCPU box or 60 hours of a 16 vCPU box, and it is the largest Korean credit found that is not tied to a school. |
| Reliability | no reliability event recorded |
| Notes | This changes an existing record: compute/samsung-cloud carries Samsung SDS as paid-only with no free tier, and the vendor's own promotion page contradicts that. The page found is a 2023 event page (the prize draw ran 2023-08-09 to 2023-09-27), and the current freetrials page at cloud.samsungsds.com could not be read because it renders client-side; a partner article dated 2026-02-05 repeats the mechanic, so the programme is treated as live but the amount is dated. The GPU exclusion is the detail that matters, because the headline credit reads as GPU money and is not. |
