Anthropic dangles 20% prepaid credit bonus; user reads it as IPO prep
MartinGTobias · x · 2026-10-13
Anthropic is offering a 20% bonus on prepaid usage credits for purchases of $381.27 or more (screenshot shows $76.25 free on $381.27, offer listed through Oct 25, 2026).
Poster Martin Tobias reads the aggressive discounting as a sign an Anthropic IPO is approaching and the company wants to juice ahead-of-sale revenue figures. He says he'll stick with his Max plan instead of prepaying.
