What happens if an AI gift goes unclaimed

Unclaimed gifts should not become stranded money.

Brass

If the recipient never claims the pack, it returns to you after 90 days. Paid credits that were claimed never expire.

OpenAI gift credits

OpenAI refunds the buyer if the link is not claimed within 30 days.

Claude

When Anthropic gifts are on sale, recipients have 365 days from purchase to redeem (article). Buying is unavailable right now.

Nudge the recipient once. If the date matters (birthday morning), send a few days early.

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.
