How do I redeem a gift card? Go to realpython.com/redeem and enter the gift card code. You’ll receive confirmation that the subscription has been successfully applied to your account. That’s it! Credit card information is not required to redeem a gift card.
Is this an appropriate gift for a beginner/intermediate/advanced developer? Our learning resources cover a range of skill levels, all the way from absolute beginner to experienced Pythonista. Take a look at our guided learning paths to see what’s available.
Is there an expiration date on the subscription? The gift card is valid 24 months from the moment the gift card was purchased. Once redeemed, the code is good for the length of the subscription that was gifted. For example, if you gift someone a year of membership, that year begins whenever they redeem it.
