It seems like some vendors really want to push ARM and a side-effect of that 
might be more bang for your buck. I'm sure plenty of folks still only want to 
run on x86 or are running something with spotty ARM support for 3rd party 
packages and they might be convinced with some savings to try ARM...

For example, Oracle is offering a free tier that's way, way more generous than 
others, but only on their ARM servers. If you can get an account there, that's 
certainly an option.

(I'll note I tried with 4 different personal cards and 3 different biz cards 
both debit and credit to sign up and their "anti-fraud" stuff won't let me in, 
so YMMV in setting up an account there).
