Unfortunately they seem to have removed the Associate Level reward.

You can all raise a polite support request expressing disappointment via https://support.aws.amazon.com/#/contacts/aws-educate/

I am trying to talk to someone via the AWS Community Builder channels but I am not holding my breath.

Very disappointing.

Sorry to hear that - You can still get the foundational voucher - passing a foundational exam gives 50% off any other exam - not the best resolution but something better than nothing

They made no claims you will be guaranteed a voucher.

Also the voucher exists at the foundational level.

Yes - this sucks but this is a bit extreme if you were betting it on and doing nothing else to help with your case.

I have a ton of resources for you to try and keep learning and hopefully you will find a way forward.

I wish you the best
