Opened in a browser on 2026-09-04 because Oracle returns HTTP 403 to automated requests. The page states 'Start with a US$300 cloud credit' with 30 days to use it, and that you continue to get Always Free Services if you do nothing after 30 days. A footnote limits the credit to select countries, and the FAQ asks why credit or debit card information is needed at sign-up.
