How does the recipient redeem a Scribd gift subscription?

If we send them their giftcard via email, they just need to click on the “Redeem Now” link embedded in the email to view their card and redeem it.

Regardless, of whether the card is emailed or printed, they can go to scribd.com/redeem and enter in the gift code to start reading.

What if the person I give a Scribd gift subscription to is already a subscriber?

That’s ok, it just means that you know they'll love your gift! The time value of the Scribd gift subscription will be applied to their existing account starting the next payment month!

They won't be charged for their regular subscription until your gift expires.

What devices can subscribers use to access the Scribd library?

The Scribd app is available on iOS devices (6 or newer), Android devices (2.3 or newer), Kindle Fire/HD/HDX, and Nook HD/HD+. Readers can also use Scribd through a laptop or desktop browser, so your recipient should have no trouble reading on Scribd.

Do Scribd gift subscriptions expire?

Scribd Gift Subscriptions have no expiration. If your recipient isn't quite ready to read, no worries! They can redeem the code at a later date when they're ready to dive into a good book.

Is this a physical gift card?

E-Cards are sent by email with the gift code to redeem the purchase, but if you prefer a physical gift you can print out the customized card instead and give it to the recipient in person. You can see their smile when they realize they now have access to more books than they can read in a lifetime.

I don’t have the email of the person I want to give this to. What do I do?

Not to worry! You can give Scribd gift cards the old school way. During the customization process, choose the option to give it in person, then print the card out and deliver it yourself!

I’m purchasing this gift card today so I don’t have to stress about it anymore, but I don’t want the recipient to get it until Christmas. What do I do?

We understand; you want to plan ahead and not be caught by surprise when the big occasion finally comes up, we totally get it. You're welcome to schedule the email to be sent on a future date! Or simply go with the physical card option, print it out, and hand-deliver it when the day arrives. But never fear, if you want to buy ahead, you just have to put in the date that you want it emailed to your gift recipient and we'll email it that day and send you a confirmation when it's done.
