Graduation gift: prepaid AI credit

A graduation gift that becomes an auto-renewing Plus plan is a poor thank-you.

Better shape

Prepaid AI credit for the summer of applications, take-homes and portfolio work. $50-$100 is a serious gift. $25 still helps.

Confirm they are 18+ for Brass. If they only use ChatGPT, an OpenAI gift card is fine.

Brass sells prepaid packs of $10 to $250 you can gift by email or as a card you print. Credits never expire. The recipient spends them across Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok and DeepSeek. US only, 18 and over; an unclaimed gift returns to you after 90 days.

Still shopping for the holidays? A Brass pack goes by email or as a card you print at home, so it is there the day you give it. Send a pack.
