Buying someone a Gift Membership for Christmas?

You can still buy a Gift Membership as a digital Christmas present. Gift Membership Packs will now be delivered in January, but you will receive a digital voucher immediately by email.

 

If you wish to keep the gift membership a surprise for the recipient(s), make sure to only use your details when purchasing. You can then personally pass on the gift membership voucher code and/or physical gift membership pack for them to redeem in their own time (within 12 months of the purchase date).

HOW DOES IT WORK?

What you will receive

Once you have bought your gift membership online, you will be sent a gift membership code by email, which you can pass on to the recipient of your gift. This code will be needed to activate the membership.

A physical Gift Membership Pack will also be posted to you within 2 working days which will include a beautiful welcome card, outlining our membership benefits, as well as the same gift membership code sent to you by email.

If you wish to keep the gift membership a surprise for the recipient(s), make sure to only use your details when purchasing. You can then personally pass on the gift membership voucher code and/or physical gift membership pack for them to redeem in their own time*.
