Sign-up and redemption codes

A code can give you a plan, extra limits or a discount without buying anything. You might get one with early access, from a club deal, or from us.

When you sign up

• While sign-up is invite-only, the first thing the sign-up page asks for is your Access code. Enter it and press Verify code, then fill in your details.
• Otherwise, enter any code you have in Discount or Promo code as you sign up.
• Came from a link with a code in it? It's filled in for you. It also carries through if you choose to sign up with Google.

If a code can't be used (it's expired, used up, or already used on your account), you're told why.

After you've signed up

Go to Settings › Subscription and use Have a code?. Your plan and limits change straight away.

What a code can give

A code can do any of these together:

• A plan, free for a set number of months or for good.
• Extra limits on top of your plan, an extra cup for example. Extras from different codes add up.
• A discount on a paid plan.

A code never moves you to a smaller plan than the one you have. If you're already paying for a plan, a code for a different plan isn't applied, but any extra limits and discount in it still are.

The rules

Each code can be used once per account. A code can also have an expiry date and a limit on how many people can use it; once either is reached, it stops working for everyone.
