Other than Amazon Certificate Manager as moatra mentions (which I don't think let's you export the certificate), I don't think there is currently an option for free wildcard certificates.

As an alternative you could incorporate provisioning of a Let's Encrypt certificate for the new subdomain into your deployment process since the process is designed to be automated.

Current rate limiting wouldn't really make it possible, unfortunately.
Not if you have more than five subdomains, you have to wait for a week, like me.
... if you need a different certificate for each subdomain. You are limited to 5 certificates per domain per week, each of which can be valid for many subdomains. Bad if you want to be able to add them dynamically every time a new name comes up, but if it is a static set...
I used SubjectAltNames on my setup. One domain/one cert, though I only did 2 subdomains.
