Hey @_erolism ,

Welcome to the Community!

I'm sorry that you're having issues to redeem your Gift Card, I'd recommend taking a look at this article for the next steps to take.

Also, I'd suggest giving a try to redeem it using an Incognito Window on your web browser.

Let me know how you get on. 🙂

Could you please tell me any error messages you're seeing?

A screenshot of the error page would be really helpful. Just make sure to hide any sensitive info. Thanks!

Won't let me send a screenshot, but all it says in a red box is "Something went wrong. Try again, or get help."

Can you please let me know exactly what steps you tried? It's just to make sure that the article was completely followed. Was the Gift Card bought in the same country you live in?

Also, have you given it a try by trying to redeem your Gift Card in an Incognito Window? Preferably using a Desktop.

If it's still not working, please let me know if you have any active subscription, if so, which one?

Thank you!

Gift card was purchased in the same country I live, yes.

Tried incognito in both desktop and mobile browsers, still getting the same error message.

No active subscription now since I did have premium before for almost 3 years uninterrupted

Thanks for confirming, @_erolism.

Can you please check with the store where you purchased the Gift Card to make sure it was activated?

There's a possibility that you may have a second account, and the Gift Card was activated there, but you just can't see it because you're not logged into it. It would be worth it to check if there aren't any additional accounts that are causing confusion.
