2. Can I purchase a gift subscription for someone who is already a subscriber?
No. You can only give a gift subscription to a new subscriber. If the intended recipient is an existing digital or home delivery subscriber, they won’t be able to redeem the gift.
3. How is the gift subscription delivered?
You will be required to supply a recipient email address and delivery date during the purchase. An email containing a redemption code is sent to the recipient email address you provide on the date you specify. The email will also include a short gift message that you provide during the order process.
4. Can I purchase multiple gift subscriptions?
Yes. After completing a gift purchase press the Buy Another Gift button. Please note: a single recipient cannot redeem multiple gift subscriptions at once.
5. Can I schedule the delivery of my gift?
Yes — you can set the date the gift email will be sent to the recipient during the order process. You can also choose to have the gift email sent immediately after purchase.
Please note: access to the gift subscription will begin once redeemed by the recipient.
6. I tried to give a gift subscription and the recipient never got the redemption email — what should I do?
The redemption email will not be sent until the delivery date specified during the purchase process. If that date has passed and the recipient still hasn’t received the redemption email, please contact Customer Care.
7. What are the terms of sale for gift subscriptions?
The full purchase price for gift subscriptions will be charged at the time of purchase and is nonrefundable.
Gift subscriptions are one-time purchases. For more information, see the Terms of Sale. Redemption codes are not replaceable and will expire if not redeemed within five years of the purchase date.
Please note: additional or different terms may apply for complimentary gift subscriptions.
8. How are gift subscription purchases billed?
We accept major credit cards and PayPal. Orders are processed at the time of purchase.
