Access codes are not replaceable. The code is good for one-time use only, cannot be combined with another offer and has no cash or stored value. No balance remains after use. A gift code recipient may not apply the gift to an existing subscription; it may be applied only to a new subscription or different subscription type. The gift subscription period begins the day it is redeemed by the recipient.
