FAQs
Does the recipient need a GameChanger account to use their gift subscription?
Yes, a gift subscription can only be redeemed after a gift recipient has signed into or signed up for a GameChanger account.
Can I gift a subscription to someone who already has a GameChanger subscription?
Yes! If they have an individual Premium subscription, their year of gifted Premium will begin after their current paid billing period ends. If they have a Plus subscription, they'll receive Premium access immediately upon redeeming their gift.
In either case the recipient should be sure to cancel their existing subscription.
When does the gift subscription start?
The gift subscription starts as soon as the gift recipient signs in or creates an account and taps on the "Redeem your gift subscription" button.
Can I purchase any kind of gift subscription?
At this time, gift subscriptions are for one year of Premium. Gift subscriptions can't be upgraded, downgraded, or switched to another plan.
Will the gift subscription automatically renew?
No. Gift Subscriptions do not auto-renew, and no one will be charged when the gift ends. After 12 months, Premium access expires. If your recipient would like to keep Premium, they can purchase their own subscription.
Can my recipient purchase a subscription while their gift is active?
Yes, but the new purchase will not be prorated or discounted based on the remaining time on the gift. We recommend waiting until the gift subscription ends before purchasing a new subscription.
I entered the wrong email address for my recipient. What should I do?
No problem. You can forward the copy of the gift email you received to your recipient's correct email address. You can also contact our support team with your purchase confirmation details and the correct email address, and we'll help.
Can I share the gift link with others?
The gift can be redeemed by anyone who has the link, so treat it like a gift card and keep it private.
Can I get a refund for a gift subscription?
Purchasers can request a refund as long as the gift has not yet been redeemed. Once a gift has been redeemed, it can no longer be refunded. Gift recipients are not able to request refunds. If a gift is refunded, the gift link will no longer work and the recipient will be notified that the gift is no longer valid.
Will I get a receipt for my purchase?
Yes. Your confirmation email includes your receipt, your recipient's details, and information about how your recipient can redeem their gift.
