Our system does now ask for bank details when redeeming a gift code, it is a stipulation of our shopping platform (the global shopping host Shopify) in order to verify the member's eligibility of for a subscription (to ensure members are over 18). As a company selling alcohol by post we are facing increasing rules and stipulations, and this is one of them. Your gifted subscription will not renew automatically and nor will any payment get taken from your card, as long as you enter the gift code and see that the total at checkout is discounted to £0.00.
