A gift is a separate official subscription path
Anthropic’s gift flow lets an eligible Claude Pro or Max subscriber purchase a selected plan and duration for somebody else. It is not a way to move the purchaser’s existing paid plan, account history, mobile purchase, or payment method to another person. Use the official Claude gift page and the recipient’s own Claude account; do not send a password, one-time code, or full card information to anyone.
At checkout, Anthropic currently presents the available plan and duration options in the purchaser’s account. Eligibility, available options, tax, currency, and the final amount are determined by that live official screen. This guide intentionally does not quote another account’s price or promise availability in a particular country.
Buy and redeem in the correct order
- Check the purchaser. Anthropic says most Pro and Max users can buy a gift, while Free users and Team or Enterprise members cannot currently do so. Sign in and look for the official Gift Claude option or go to the official gift page.
- Choose only from the account’s live options. Select the plan and duration offered there. Verify the recipient name or delivery address if using email, or retain the official shareable link privately until you pass it to the recipient.
- Give the recipient the correct route. They should open the official email or link, sign in to their own Claude account on the web, and confirm redemption. A gift code can also be entered through the official redeem route.
- Check the result once. Confirm the displayed plan, current subscription status, and next billing information in the recipient’s account. Keep the order confirmation and a redacted copy of the gift details; never save login secrets in a chat or screenshot.
Anthropic says a purchased gift expires 365 days after purchase. That is different from the subscription duration after a successful redemption, so do not leave an unredeemed link unattended.
Check the recipient’s status before you send a gift
| Recipient status | What to do first | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| New or Free web user | Sign in or create the intended Claude account, then redeem on the web | The gift is applied to that account after confirmation |
| Web Pro user receiving a Pro or Max gift | Read the official redemption result before confirming | Anthropic documents extension or upgrade handling that depends on the plan combination |
| Web Max user receiving a different gift tier | Read the account confirmation and official terms | Anthropic documents account-credit treatment for some lower-tier gifts |
| Active iOS or Android subscriber | Wait until the mobile subscription ends, then redeem on the web | Mobile billing cannot be combined with immediate gift redemption |
Important boundaries: no stacking, no mobile shortcut
Anthropic says recipients cannot redeem more than one gift at a time or stack redemptions. A recipient with a current App Store or Google Play subscription must wait for that subscription to end before redeeming; uninstalling the app, changing devices, or signing into a different account does not cancel the original store billing relationship. Check the original billing platform and next renewal date instead of buying a second plan to “test” it.
This site is independent. It does not sell Claude gifts, issue codes, process refunds, or manage recipient accounts. If you are choosing a personal Claude plan for yourself rather than giving a gift, use the exact domain chatchongzhi.chat and first review the existing Claude purchase guide; verify the account, current product and terms before taking any purchase action.
