Copilot gift alternative for someone who codes

A surprise Copilot seat can collide with an existing employer license or student pack. Prepaid credit never needs a GitHub org admin.

Coders use the gift for second opinions from Claude or GPT, for agents, and for scripts that should not touch the company Copilot quota.

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.
