Can I buy a gift membership for someone who is already registered with NewspaperARCHIVE.com?
Yes, as long as your recipient doesn’t have an active paid membership. If you buy a gift membership and then find out your recipient has an active paid membership, you can transfer the gift membership to someone else — or request a refund within seven days of your original purchase date.

What are the gift membership options?
You can choose between a Quarterly, Semi-Annual, or Annual membership duration.

When does a gift membership begin and what happens at that point?
A gift membership begins on the activation date the gift-giver chooses during the purchase process. On the activation date we’ll send the recipient an email with details about accessing the gift membership. We’ll also send the gift-giver a copy of that email.

Can I change the activation date of a gift membership after I've purchased it?
No — so please choose your recipient’s activation date carefully.

What will you do with my recipient’s email address?
We’ll send the person an email on the activation date you choose, letting him or her know how to access the membership. That’s the only email we’ll send your recipient until the gift membership has been accessed. After that we’ll send standard account updates and occasional communications about new collections and promotions by email as we do to all NewspaperARCHIVE.com subscribers.

Do gift memberships automatically renew?
No. If a recipient wants to continue his or her membership after the gift membership expires, he or she can pay to renew it.

Can I set up a gift membership to automatically renew?
Not at this time. But you can buy a gift membership that lasts up to a full year.

Are gift memberships different from regular memberships?
The only difference is that gift memberships don’t automatically renew.

How will my recipient find out about the gift membership?
After you purchase a gift membership we’ll send you an order confirmation email with details you can share with your recipient if you’d like. On the activation date you’ve chosen we’ll send an email to your recipient telling the person how to access the gift membership.
