Check options and terms↗Make the choice part of the gift
Give the card with a short note about what you had in mind: an afternoon choosing records, a first show in a new city or an album from an artist they just discovered. Keep the card code private.
Do not assume every music subscription has a gift card
Subscription billing, country restrictions and existing account eligibility vary. Use the provider’s official current gift page rather than buying an unverified code from a reseller.
