What Changed

Gift codes for Buzz and Memberships are no longer available on Civitai. Previously, gift codes were distributed through third-party providers like Kinguin, and more recently through Coinbase Commerce. Both of these options have been discontinued.

Buzz and Membership purchases are now handled directly through Civitai:

Existing Gift Codes

If you already have an unredeemed gift code, it will still work! Gift codes do not expire. You can redeem them at any time from the Purchased Codes section of the Buzz Dashboard.

FAQ

Q: What happens if I apply multiple prepaid Memberships to my account?
A: They stack! If you already have an active Membership (annual or prepaid) and purchase additional months at the same tier, they’ll be added to the end of your current Membership period.
Note: You won’t receive any Buzz when activating another Membership while one is already active. If you need Buzz immediately, consider purchasing Buzz directly instead.

Q: What happens if I have an existing Membership, but also apply a higher tier?
A: Upgrades are immediate. Your renewal date will update, and the higher-tier Membership will take priority over your existing one.
For example, if you activated 12 months of Silver, used it for 2 months, and then redeemed a 3-month Gold Membership, you’ll immediately receive Gold benefits. The remaining Silver time for the current month will be pro-rated.
After your 3 months of Gold ends, your account will automatically drop back to Silver for the remaining 10 months (plus any pro-rated days).

Q: What happens if I have an existing prepaid Membership, but also apply a lower tier?
A: Downgrades are not immediate.
For instance, if you purchased 12 months of Silver and then added 3 months of Bronze, your Silver Membership will remain active until it expires. After that, the Bronze Membership will begin.

Q: How many prepaid Memberships can I stack?
A: You can stack up to 24 months (2 years) of prepaid Memberships on a single account, across any tier.

Q:  I’ve purchased and activated a number of prepaid Memberships – how do I see when each tier ends and what my stack looks like?
A: Visit your Membership Management page. If you’ve stacked multiple Memberships, you’ll see a chart showing how long you have left at each tier and when each one begins or ends.

Q: Are there fees?
A: For crypto purchases on Civitai.com, network (gas) fees apply depending on the coin and network you use. We recommend USDC on the Base network for the lowest fees. Civitai does not charge additional fees. On Civitai.Green, standard payment processing applies.

Q: Do Gift Card Codes Expire?
A: No, there is no expiration on Gift Card Codes.

Q: Do I have to redeem the code myself, or can I gift it to someone else?
A: Codes can be redeemed by anyone with a Civitai account, so feel free to pass them along.

Q: Can I use multiple gift codes on one account?
A: You can redeem as many codes as you like.

Q: Can I get a refund on my gift card?
A: Gift card purchases are non-refundable, so make sure you’re happy with your selection before checking out.
