What's the difference between buying a gift credit versus a subscription plan?

There are two distinct differences between buying a gift credit versus a subscription plan. 

First, our gift credits do not automatically renew while our regular subscription plans do automatically renew until you cancel the subscription. The gift credit plans end automatically after the final box is shipped to complete the term of the gift credits purchased.

Second, our gift credit plans come with an emailed gift certificate that requires the gift recipient to activate the plan. Each gift certificate has a unique button allowing the gift recipient to register the account, apply credits to their account and select their preferred fish species and activate the plan when they want the boxes to start shipping.
