How to gift AI credits

Steps that work

1. Choose the product. Lab-specific (ChatGPT gift card or credits) or multi-model prepaid credit.
2. Buy with your own checkout. Do not ask them for a password.
3. Send the claim link privately. Anyone with some links can redeem them (OpenAI gift credits are explicit about this).
4. Say the rules in one sentence. Expiry, what it pays for, that it does not renew.

Lab options in one line

• ChatGPT: retail cards and claim-link credits (cards, credits).
• Claude: gift subscriptions unavailable to buy as of 2026-10-07.

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.
