Gemini platform credit eligibility update

Starting on November 16, 2026 Gemini platform will no longer be eligible  
for $300 Free Trial Welcome credit. If you’d like to use your credit  
towards Gemini platform you’ll need to upgrade to a paid billing  
account<https://c.gle/AGSJxQyv93BD2jyD1YERF8Hlsyt6UFE1tzWbAjk4LPzNDA2_QnjhUC6EY9-AG73TqVd1tMgTVJlUFqEOd21-lseg5VMbIo3x3Uhc4u5uFMFGpDMCCsWz0bkxmTqpzHjw8SGLrJuCz8I7bX-57dYL24yRn9fjXBNAcTKO8p7cwV7byoaWtjdEb9Xj26x2K7cZs3Tfvrv8ux6Nkq7DTQfwoeKBEMZPHlw97QIp0aHCO7LmY8Zgf99tkoxeUBaYmttFKafiEyFXqvRN3ebA6MnohAW1hE8XA2njyghoPDSicrOnJOaJdoXrv7iwB0u6smbbKUjwuy7efR-9Q6CLBxOr_rvent1E7DnkDUE6Dw>

Hi Charles,

We’re reaching out about an important change to how your $300 Free Trial  
Welcome credit can be used. Starting November 16, 2026, Welcome credit will  
no longer apply toward Gemini platform usage. No other Google Cloud  
services are impacted by this change.

Here’s what this means for your account:

- What's changing: On November 16, 2026, Welcome credit will no longer  
apply to Gemini platform usage. Welcome credit still applies to other  
eligible products and services until your free trial expires.

- If you upgrade to a paid  
account<https://c.gle/AGSJxQz3smEewsJVUTPr_MshU3YUcfLcpReqY5iqQ5kgGWYq9-D4mDF5feqfaJI8tq5GrGG6IO8P1LpELh3jIaIozEWOxSK04KmXz-RWnkPvsJXP8LR3ST68BAgI9pMtfCSkaBh-kYNwBwjhduHpABWokofJJcZwzDhbbzApQ7pvHwb9MkpCxOa6qzGfAO6CS2YHI8zktqshGlzzJg2lQ19VaR2ZvqsDdGm2a6bAczFYMZ0h8ypAjyFwHd8Om4a7LMOfEbZV3lmQmDTBDVjPGCtlCfm74RU_K3pShrJlm6TDzNMWp1VD3OSYgDFfNWxKDs1IyAeDDevnfsERVi-tt9LtqgyEgPxOjVqzTNVzn3I>  
before November 16, 2026: Your remaining Welcome credit will still apply to  
Gemini platform usage and other eligible products and services. Once  
remaining Welcome credit runs out or expires, usage is billed pay-as-you-go.

- If you upgrade after November 16, 2026: Gemini platform usage is billed  
pay-as-you-go right away. Any remaining Welcome credit will not apply to  
Gemini platform usage. You can still use remaining Welcome credit on  
eligible products and services until it runs out or expires. After that,  
usage is billed pay-as-you-go.

Trial
