Give a year of Plan to Eat to anyone, whether or not they already have an account. Annual gift subscriptions are $49 USD, and they never expire.

Choose how to deliver your gift
Email my friends now: The recipient gets a welcome email from you right after you pay, with a link to redeem.
Email them on a date. Pay now and pick a date, such as a birthday or holiday. Welcome emails go out around 7 a.m. Central Time on the chosen day. You’ll get a receipt now, and your recipients get their email on the date you chose.
I’ll give it to them. Deliver the gift yourself. You’ll get an email with a receipt and each gift’s certificate and redemption link, and you can:
Print a certificate with a QR code that the recipient can scan to redeem. See a sample certificate.
Share the link by text or email.
Email it later from your My Gifts page whenever you’re ready.
Recurring gift subscriptions
Givers can turn auto-renew on or off anytime from their Account page under gift management.
Recipients can see who gave them the subscription and when it next renews. They can also switch billing to their own card from their Account page on the website.
How renewal billing works
You (the giver) are charged $49 each year on the gift’s anniversary. Your recipient is never charged. You’ll get a receipt for each renewal, and your recipient gets a renewal notice.
When you update your card on your Account page, all of your active recurring gifts move to the new card automatically. If a renewal recently failed, Plan to Eat retries it on your new card.
If a renewal payment doesn’t go through, you’ll get an email asking you to update your card. Your recipient keeps access during a 14-day grace period. If the payment still hasn’t gone through after that, auto-renewal is canceled.
If you turn off auto-renewal, the gift stays active through the year you’ve already paid for, but it won’t renew again.
If your recipient later starts paying for their own subscription, they take over, and your recurring gift stops billing you.
