Gift a subscription
Gift Premium, Ultimate or AI Ultra for 1 or 12 months with one payment that never renews, and follow the gift's status under Billing.
A gift gives someone a full LuxAlgo plan: state-of-the-art charts with Vela, our next-generation charting platform, with Quant, our coding agent, built in, and everything else a paying subscriber on that plan gets. You pay once; the gift never renews, and your friend is never charged.

Open Gift a Subscription
Sign in and open Gift a Subscription, listed as Gifts under Rewards in your account.
Pick their plan
Choose the term, 1 month or 12 months, then select Premium, Ultimate or AI Ultra. Each card shows the price for that term.
Check their email
Under Who's it for?, enter the recipient's email and select Check email. Checkout unlocks once it says the account can receive your gift.
Pay once
Pay by card or Link, tick the agreement to the Terms, and select Send gift. Any sales tax or VAT is shown before you pay, and the button shows the total.
The confirmation reads Your gift is on its way. To send another, select Gift someone else.
Who can receive a gift
Any email address, with three exceptions:
- an account that already has an active plan (gifts never stack on a plan),
- an email that already has another gift waiting,
- your own account.
If the check says the email can't receive a gift right now, double-check the address, or try again once their current access ends.
When the gift starts
- They already have a LuxAlgo account: their access switches on the moment you pay.
- They're new: we email them an invite. The gift unlocks when they create their account with that same email address, and the term starts then, so claiming later doesn't cost them any days.
We send an unclaimed invite a reminder after 7 days. A gift still unclaimed 30 days after purchase is refunded to you automatically, in full.
Follow a gift
Once you've sent a gift, Gifts sent appears on Billing, listing each gift's recipient, plan and term, and status:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Processing | The payment is going through. |
| Invite sent | Waiting for the recipient to sign up, with the date to Claim by. |
| Active | The recipient has access, until the Access ends date. |
| Expired | The term is over. |
| Refunded | The gift was refunded, for example because it went unclaimed. |
For the recipient
A gifted plan ends automatically at the end of its term. It can't be cancelled, paused, upgraded or downgraded; when it ends, you can choose your own plan. See Cancel your subscription.
Gift purchases aren't refundable, apart from the automatic refund of an unclaimed gift. See Refunds.
