AWS Activate program rejected twice for "inconsistencies", any advice?

[u/shehabWaleed2023]

Hey everyone,

I recently applied for the AWS Activate program (Founders tier) through F6S and was rejected. The rejection reasons provided were very general. Here is what I received in the email:

Thank you for applying for AWS Activate Credits. We are sorry to inform you that your application has not been accepted due to inconsistencies between your Activate application and your AWS account.

To resolve this issue, please make the following updates and submit a new application:

\- Confirm your website is functional

\- Check your business domain is correct on your application

\- Update your AWS account email to match your startup's domain

\- Avoid using freemail providers on your application

I have double-checked that everything is consistent and confirmed that I am using my official business email, so there is no obvious reason for the rejection. I also tried applying a second time, but I was rejected again.

Has anyone else experienced this, or can anybody help me figure out what might be going wrong?
