[EXPIRED]Get a Humble Choice annual membership for only $89!

Same here. I used $7 offer for this month and picked 12 month gift subscription. Question: is it okay to use 12 month gift subscription now or later when this month ends (when I picked this month for $7 offer)? I was thinking if I use now 12 month gift subscription, won't I lose one month from 12 month gift subscription because I used $7 offer for this month?

Also, I received email from HB. It is saying:
"GIFT INFORMATION
Remember, you will need to send this gift link directly to the recipient.

If you visit the link above, make sure not to redeem the gift yourself - that's what the recipient will do!"

Won't be problem to activate for myself as a gift?

From my experience Humble Support is excellent. I'm sure they'll take care of you.

Same here. Nearly 48hours without any answer :(

This used to happen to me in previous orders. It's likely you'll receive this message if you haven't bought a lot (or too much) from them recently. It shouldn't take more than a day or two to process, but if it takes longer make sure you contact support!

Try cancelling your current plan.

I'm on the Classic Annual plan, and in the exact situation you're in.

Just so you know, cancelling didn't work for me. I'm going to try what you're trying next month, and if that doesn't work, I'm hoping it will at least work when my subscription ends next year.

Same here. I opened a ticket to Humble, but no answer yet. If you want I can let you know what they say.

Did you open a ticket to Humble by any chance?

Order Canceled
We can only sell a limited quantity of Annual Plan.

Does that mean a limited quantity overall, or a limited quantity per account? Did you try to purchase several gifts?

You can buy it as a gift and redeem it whenever you like.

For me it didn't work before activating November choice or after as well.
So it looks like it is up to account for some reason, a few other people here said as well that they didn't manage to get it working

I have identical case but EU/PL -> I'm unable to redeem gift, watch out guys!

So i can get it gifting this to myself and activating it? Thanks for heads up.

If you can redeem it (because some of us are having problems with that) you would get this months bundle.
But you could also wait to try to redeem it next month

This page mentions gifting and provides a link to this other FAQ page:

There is no information there about any issue with gifting to yourself.

Q: Is it possible to gift a plan to my own account? 

A: Yes, you may purchase a gift plan and claim it to your own account. This will function the same as a personal membership; however, you will not receive a recurring charge unless you already have an active plan. If so, you will receive a credit added to your account for a future month, but this will not cancel your recurring charge. 

Q: Do gift links expire?

A: No, gifts links do not expire; however, you cannot claim a month that has already passed by using a gifted plan.

Interestingly, there could be an explanation for people who have trouble redeeming the gift:

This means the gift cannot be redeemed to your account, likely by having too many credits from a previous purchase or gift. Unfortunately, you cannot stack more than 24 total credits (24 separate months). 

Wait until your current membership ends to claim the gift. Fear not, gifts links do not expire; however, you cannot claim a month that has already passed by using a gift.

He has to cancel the gifted subscription since he is the subscriber at that point.

About gifts to a different account than your own:

If purchasing it as a gift, payments will not recur.
This means you will not be charged again once your friend's membership runs out.
https://support.humblebundle.com/hc/en-us/articles/360036684093#gift

However, keep it mind that payment will recur in two other cases:

1) Purchasing for yourself NOT as a gift:

If purchasing it as a personal (non-gift) purchase, payments will be recurring.

2) Purchasing for yourself as a gift if you already have an active plan with a recurring charge:

This will function the same as a personal membership; however, you will not receive a recurring charge unless you already have an active plan. If so, you will receive credits added to your account, but this will not cancel your recurring charge.

So, if your brother has a recurring charge, then gifting a 12-month plan to him won't cancel his (already existing) reccurring charge. He would get 12 credits, but his current plan would not be cancelled.

If what Humble support told me (since I have the same problem) is true we will be able to redeem it next month
I quote
"You will be able to redeem your annual plan on the first tuesday of next month. You will be able to do this because you have come to the end of your current annual plan.

Starting next month (December) you can do something by either unlocking your content early or waiting for content drop day (1st Tuesday of every month)."

Why? What did you do?

You can claim all the games for each month in humble choice.

As mentioned, you will keep all games and as for now, it seems to be 8 games per month

Nope, i just checked
89 USD = 131.83 AUD
So its not that high.

It won't, since this code is only valid until Dec. 2 and the December Choice won't be revealed until Dec. 6.

If you directly bought the annual offer or bought it as a gift and redeemed it already, you automatically bought November Choice.

The annual plan is considered to be multi-month, where 12 full months are paid for upfront. Purchasing the 12-month plan will give you credits that you can use as payment tokens for a future month of Humble Choice. As a note - you will automatically unlock the current month (there is no way to avoid this) when making your annual plan purchase.

They will have another promotion at Christmas time so you will have a chance to grab some good deal

As in it's a manual process and not automatic each time there is a new month?

No, it's automatic process :) If you don't skip a month you'll get monthly bundle (so it will be -1 credit and you'll get all games) - https://support.humblebundle.com/hc/en-us/articles/217300487-Humble-Choice-Early-Unlock-Games.

And from the annual plan if we pass a month does our store discount reset?

It will reset to 10% - https://support.humblebundle.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000303608-Humble-Choice-How-to-Skip-and-Resume-Your-Membership (but someone wrote here that discount will stay the same - will not reset)

Same here, waiting for a response.

"Classic" has given no benefits for over 3 years now. No loss.
