I've been using AWS for hosting my backend servers. What's the best way to sign up an account so I can call Watson services from my servers directly, without an account on Bluemix? If yes, how? I couldn't find that at Watson's website. Thanks.
If you are trying to make an account for an IBM course, there is no need to have a credit card. You'll need to follow the instructions provided in your course to create one.

You can absolutely use the Watson APIs from platforms and endpoints other than Bluemix. They are all REST APIs that do not restrict access by the source of the call. You do however have to use Bluemix to sign up, get credentials and for billing.
