What happens once the gifted paid plan duration ends?
If the gifted plan was different from your prior plan
Towards the end of the duration of your gifted paid plan, you can choose to stay on the same paid plan by automatically switching to paying the subscription fees for the plan (refer to our Paid Plan Terms, Plan Gifting Terms, and Fees page for more information).
If you don't opt to stay on the gifted plan, you'll be moved back to the type of plan you had before accepting the gift.
For example, if you were on the Standard plan and accepted a Premium plan gift, you'll be notified towards the end of your gifted plan duration and given the option to pay for Premium and stay on the plan after the gift duration ends. If you don't do this, you'll be moved back to the Standard plan.
If you were gifted the same plan that you had previously
If you were gifted the same plan that you had previously, and accepted the gift, you'll automatically be switched to the regular billing plan for the type of paid plan you had before you accepted the gift (refer to our Paid Plan Terms, Plan Gifting Terms, and Fees page for more information).
For example, if you were on the Premium plan and accepted a gift for another Premium plan, you'll automatically be switched back to a Premium plan once the gift duration expires.
What will happen to the insurance benefit if I don't renew?
If you switch to a lower plan after your gifted plan expires, any insurance that applied to your gifted plan will immediately come to an end, including travel, purchase protection, accidental damage, and cancellation insurance coverage. This depends on the new plan chosen.
Can I re-upgrade?
You can. However, your insurance benefits, depending on your previous plan, will start as brand new, and you need to be on your plan continuously for your insurance to cover you.
This also includes travel insurance. Read your insurance terms and conditions to make sure you have valid insurance cover before your next trip.
