Did the gift email mention any deadlines for redeeming the subscription? I have at least a couple of months left for my annual subscription.
edit: hm or maybe I can apply it now and it will add to my current months?
edit2: Ok I read through the second link. Seems like the gift will add as long as you don’t exceed 24 months.
This means the gift cannot be redeemed to your account, likely by having too many credits from a previous purchase or gift. Unfortunately, you cannot stack more than 24 total credits (24 separate months).
My current membership plan is ‘Classic Annual’, but it only has one month left to go so I’ll try it again in December. Apparently gift links don’t expire, and worst case scenario is that I set up a new account to get the year’s games. At about £6/month it’s worth the slight hassle I think.
@wavey it might be due to the Classic plans not existing any longer. I am thinking if you switch to monthly you won’t lose your existing credit you still have for December, and then when you apply the gift link membership it will switch you over to the default Annual membership.
Thanks for this, I think you were right - I had a poke around, switching to monthly didn’t seem to help, but cancelling it did let me then apply the gift link ok. Happy days!
I almost bit on Wasteland 3 for $10 on it’s own yesterday as the Star Deal on Fanatical. Glad I decided to hold out a little longer. I’ve heard good things about Where the Water Tastes Like Wine as well. I’ve never heard of the rest of the bundle, but the headliners were enough for me.
This is an amazing lineup, but yeah I already own the games I care about. I believe they’re on game pass too. Humble needs to not use anything on GP to make any money off me ever.
