I was assuming the $5k would be like a certain amount of credit towards S3, a certain amount towards RDS, a certain amount towards load balancers, a certain amount towards video transcoding, etc. so if you don't use video transcoding, then you can't access the credit earmarked for that service.
but is it literally just a dollar amount that offsets your AWS bill, and you get some variable amount? This post doesn't actually seem to include any information about "what you actually get" other than to say you don't get $5k.

It says that they got $1,000 instead of $5,000.
