How can I actually get Google Cloud Credits? (Too much is never enough)
by•
I’m growing a small SaaS. And cloud costs are starting to hurt. I keep hearing about founders stacking $100-300k in Google Cloud credits, but all the advice feels vague or locked behind big-name accelerators.
Where did you actually get credits?
Any creative hacks or things to avoid?
If you’ve cracked this, I’d love to hear what worked.
And if you’re still figuring it out too, just drop a comment. If I’ve gathered some useful stuff, I'll be happy to share.

When we started scaling, cloud bills felt like a second rent. Tbh, Spendbase helped a ton, they actually secured us with a $100k credits, provided CUD analysis and cut cloud expenses by -5%. (plus solid -20% on Workspace and other saas perks too). It didn’t take us long and made scaling sooo much easier.

I just went the self host route. For cloud credits, it easy to get if you're part of some incubator/accelerator programme. If you absolutely need to use GCP, only put critical things on there, the rest, you can self host.
