AI Token Cheat Sheet
Dense, boring-on-purpose notes for spending fewer tokens and not getting burned by stale promos. Not financial advice. Not model benchmarks.

Dynamic deals
Each deal carries a last-updated stamp. If the date is old, re-check the vendor yourself.
Check vendor promo pages before buying credits
Promo stacks change weekly. Confirm eligibility on the vendor site the day you purchase — don’t trust screenshots.
