I had HOLIDAYCHARGE10DR pop up when I opened the mobile app. It is a $10 credit toward your next charge. Both codes were able to be loaded to my account...

I got $20 credit in few codes. Can I charge $20 at once or I need to charge the car multiple times based on the credit amount, like $5, $10, $5?

You're good. You can use the $20 all at once. If your bill ends up being under $20 you'll have a credit for the remaining $. And if you go over you will just pay the overage amount.

Still works for $5, I just used it.

Plus another $5 but not sure which one I tried them all and got 2x$5 = $10. Winterdrive5dr or Winterdrive5du

I learned that you can technically get an unlimited charging session for $5 and accrue a negative balance with evgo.

They pre-auth for $5, and after your charging session they attempt to charge for full amount, which fails and puts your account in delinquent status.

Can technically make throwaway accounts using textnow numbers, temp emails, and readynow payment cards for a $5 unlimited session Wink

You can also take whatever you want from stores if you run faster than the security guard.
