# Gift Premium

> Gift Premium to a friend or teammate. Search by username, pick a duration, pay once, and the recipient gets every Premium perk delivered to their account.

You can gift Premium to anyone on Esports Hub: a teammate, a friend, a member you want to support. Pick a duration, pay once, and the recipient gets the full Premium feature set applied to their account for the period you covered.

## What gets gifted

Gifted Premium is functionally identical to a paid Premium subscription, just paid by someone else. The recipient gets every perk for the duration you covered:

* Pro Discord bot deployment
* Free personal website + revamp option
* Free Discord server setup
* \$10 monthly store credit (one per month of the gift)
* 2x rewards points multiplier
* Resume builder access
* Premium-only Discord channels and Premium role
* Every other Premium perk listed at [Subscriptions](/subscriptions)

Gifts don't auto-renew. When the duration ends, the recipient drops back to Free unless they (or someone else) renews.

## How to send a gift

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the gift page">
    Sign in and head to `/gift`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Search the recipient">
    Type the recipient's username (their Esports Hub display name or Discord username). Pick the right account from the dropdown.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a duration">
    Gifts come in **1, 3, 6, or 12 months**, priced at a flat \$12 per month.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pay">
    Checkout runs through Stripe or PayPal, the same as a personal subscription. The charge is one-time; no card stays on file for renewals.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Done">
    The recipient sees an in-app notification confirming the gift and its duration the next time they open Esports Hub. Premium is active immediately.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Stacking and edge cases

* **Recipient already has Premium or Lifetime**: anyone with active Premium (self-paid or gifted) or Lifetime is excluded from the recipient search, so you can't select them. Only members currently on Free show up in the results.
* **Recipient deactivates**: if the recipient deletes their account within the gift duration, the gift is forfeited (no refund) because the Discord perks have already been delivered.

## Gifts vs store credit

Premium gifts are distinct from the store-credit grants that come with active partnerships and boosts. You can't apply store credit to a gift; gifts are paid in full from a normal payment method. Store credit covers store products (custom roles, server setups, etc.) on your own account.
