Gift Cards

Summary

Redeem a gift card code to add credits to your account.

What It Does

Gift cards add their stored credit value to your account. Standard cards are single-use; a narrow reusable-card exception exists for infrastructure and smoke-test cards that may also be restricted to a specific email domain. Once a normal card is redeemed, the credits are available immediately.

How to Redeem a Gift Card

  1. Go to Settings > Billing > Buy Credits.
  2. Click I have a gift card.
  3. Enter your gift card code.
  4. Click Redeem code.
  5. Your credit balance updates instantly across all your devices.

If you change your mind, click Cancel to return to the credit purchase options.

What to Know

  • Single-use by default: Standard cards can only be redeemed once. Server-issued reusable test cards are the exception, not the normal user flow.
  • Case-insensitive: You can type the code in uppercase or lowercase – it does not matter.
  • Stored credit value: The card’s configured credit value is added to your current balance.
  • Immediate update: Successful redemption updates your credit balance on signed-in devices.

Error Messages

Message Meaning
“Invalid gift card code or code has already been redeemed” The code was not found. Either it was already used or the code is incorrect.
“Invalid gift card: credits value is invalid” The gift card exists but has an invalid credit value. Contact the person who gave it to you.

Tips

  • Double-check the code for typos before redeeming.
  • Credits from gift cards work exactly the same as purchased credits – they never expire.
  • Your new balance appears on all your signed-in devices right away.
