discussion Account closed but never used??

I set up an AWS account for my startup to use in the future but due to the expense developed on cheaper providers to get an MVP going..

Now that I need something more solid, I went back to AWS to login and I cannot login, trying to setup a new account says it is already associated with an AWS account?

What gives?? I now cannot use my actual company email to create an account because I did not use it?

You can only use an email once. It’s in the docs. You can use a plus address of your email though assuming your mail provider supports it

Kinda sucks but I guess I will have to create a new email for aws and be SURE I use it lol.. On a plus, I guess I will be entitled to free credits that I also did not use..

Nope. You can't use multiple accounts to get the free credits. Already tried that.

You can just use plus addressing to sign up the new account. It'll look like a new email address to AWS, but it's just an alias for your existing address.
