- Waived payment processing fees

### How long does the offer last?
The offer expires 365 days after your company’s incorporation date or when you reach your offer limit—whichever comes first.
### Can I wait to activate my offer?
No. The offer activates automatically on your incorporation date, and cannot be extended.
### How do I track my fee credit usage?
Check your remaining balance in the [Fee Credits](https://dashboard.stripe.com/fee-credits) section under Reports in your Dashboard. Fee Credits show how much of your offer you’ve used so far and the fees we’ve applied the credit to.
### Can I get other fee credit offers on top of my Stripe Atlas credits?
Yes. If you qualify for other fee credits from Stripe (for example, from the Stripe Startups Program), they can be used in addition to your Atlas credits.
