- Visit brilliant.org/gift-premium
- Choose subscription duration (1 month or 1 year)
- Choose the delivery date for the gift email

How recipients activate their gift
Recipients need to:
- Check their email for the gift notification
- Click the activation link in the email
- Create a Brilliant account or log into their existing account
- Start learning—Premium access activates immediately
Existing progress and streaks are preserved if they already have an account. The gift period starts on the day it's activated, not the day it was bought.

Frequently asked questions
Can I gift Brilliant to a child or grandchild?
Yes. Learners under 18 use Brilliant with a parent or guardian's permission, and children under 13 need a parent or guardian's consent when their account is created. For a younger child, it's usually easiest to send the gift to their parent's email address. The parent can then open the link and activate the gift on the child's account, or create the account from the link. See Does Brilliant Premium make a good gift? for what kids learn.
Which email address should I use?
Use the email address of the person who'll activate the gift: the recipient, or a parent for a younger child. The email is how the gift link is delivered; the gift is activated on whichever Brilliant account is logged in when the link is opened. You can't send a gift to your own email address.
What if the recipient already has a paid Premium subscription?
A gift can't be activated on top of an active subscription. The recipient should keep the gift email and activate it once their current subscription ends.
What if the recipient has free classroom access through school?
Students whose teacher uses Brilliant for Educators get free classroom access to the course catalog, without Koji. Classroom access and gifts are kept separate: a gift can't be activated on a classroom account.
Students usually sign up for classroom access with their school email. To give them a gift, send it to a different, personal email address (theirs, or a parent's for a younger child) and activate it on a personal Brilliant account. Their gift account includes full access to Koji, and their classroom account stays as it is for school.
Is there a deadline to activate a gift?
No. A gift doesn't expire before it's activated, and the 1-month or 1-year period starts on the day the recipient activates it.
Does a gift renew automatically?
No. Neither you nor the recipient is charged when the gift ends. The recipient's account returns to the free plan, and they can subscribe if they'd like to keep Premium.
The recipient lost the gift email. How do I find the link?
If you were logged in when you bought the gift, open Subscription Settings and find the Gifts section. It lists each gift you've bought, its status, and its link. Otherwise, contact support@brilliant.org.
Can I get a refund on a gift?
Gift purchases follow our Terms of Use, under which payments are nonrefundable and any refund is at Brilliant's discretion. If something went wrong with your purchase, contact support@brilliant.org. A refunded gift can no longer be activated, and any access it gave ends.
For questions about gift subscriptions, contact support@brilliant.org.
