Payment Info and Subscription Questions
Q: Why do I need to submit my payment info to redeem Nitro?
A: Because Nitro is a subscription plan, at the end of your 1 month trial, we will start your first billing cycle so you can continue to enjoy Nitro on Discord.
However, you can cancel the Nitro subscription at any time before the end of the 1 month.
Q: Why do I see a temporary hold/charge on my account when this is supposed to be a free promotion?
A: Just to clarify, this Nitro promotion is free, however, there will be a temporary hold placed on the payment method upon activating the promotion. This is to help Discord confirm the payment method works as expected and to prevent the use of fraudulent payment methods. This charge will appear in your Discord transaction history, and it may appear as a hold on your payment method.
We immediately reverse the temporary hold, and you’ll see that reflected in your Discord transaction history. Your bank may take longer to remove the hold from your payment method.
If your Discord transaction history does not show the hold released after 5 business days, please let us know at https://dis.gd/contact, and our support team will be able to investigate this issue further.
Potential Errors and Other Issues
Q: What if I didn't receive an email from Epic Games Store with the Nitro promo link, even if I have an Epic Games Store account?
A: In order to receive an email from Epic Games Store with the Nitro promo link, you must have an Epic Games Store account.
Additionally, make sure that you've opted to receive marketing emails from the Epic Games Store. If you've unsubscribed, you sadly won't be able to see this offer.

Q: I see a Sad Trombone error when I try to redeem my Nitro promo link.
A: Would you happen to be entering this Nitro promo link from the promotion into the Discord Gift Inventory or as a link within Discord chat?
If so, this is the incorrect method for redeeming the Nitro promo link, and you will see an error when attempting to redeem the promotion.
In order to successfully claim this promotion, enter only your unique 24-digit code from the Nitro promotion link in the following format: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX.
Q: I see a "Oh no! It looks like you have Nitro already" error when I try to redeem my Nitro promo.
A: If you're seeing an "Oh no! It looks like you have Nitro already" error, that means that the Discord account you're trying to redeem this promotion on currently has a Nitro subscription so it is ineligible for this Nitro promotion.
Please make sure you're logged into the account that you want to redeem this promotion on. Or you can give the promotion link to a friend who hasn't had Nitro before.
Q: I see a "Sorry, looks like you’ve already had a Nitro sub!" error when I try to redeem my Nitro promo.
A: If you're seeing an “Sorry, looks like you’ve already had a Nitro sub” error, that means that you've previously subscribed to Nitro on your Discord account and you won't be able to redeem this 1 month perk.
If you have never subscribed to Nitro, please submit a ticket through our support system: https://dis.gd/contact and our support team will be able to investigate further.
Be sure to include your full Discord ID and email address tied to your Discord account.
Q: I see a "Looks like this gift has already been claimed" error when I try to claim my Nitro promo.
A: If you are seeing a "Looks like this gift has already been claimed" error, that means that the Nitro promo has already been used and cannot be used again. You may need to double check if you've claimed this promo on another Discord account.
In particular, if you redeem this promo link using your mobile device, double check the browser on your mobile device and see which Discord account you are currently logged into.
Unfortunately, once the promo link has been redeemed, the promo link cannot be re-enabled, and the Nitro cannot be transferred from one account to another.
Q: I see a "Wait a Second...Looks like this code didn't work." error when I try to redeem my Nitro promo.
A: If you're seeing an “Wait a Second...Looks like this code didn't work.” error, that means that the link is invalid. If you've copy and pasted this link, we recommend you double check the link you were given once more and make sure it exactly matches the link sent to your email.
If you received this link from a friend, double check with your friend on the exact link to make sure that it matches the link in their email.
Please note that our support team is unable to intervene if your friend has given an invalid link and we will not be able to provide a new link.
Q: I see a "Sorry, This Payment Source Cannot Be Used for Redemption" error when trying to redeem my promo!
A: If you're seeing a "Sorry, This Payment Source Cannot Be Used for Redemption" error, that means that the payment method you've selected to cover the temporary $1 hold cannot be used for that purpose.
Please keep in mind that prepaid payment methods, such as Gcash, cannot be used to cover temporary holds due to the nature of how prepaid payment methods function.
For more information on temporary holds, please check out this article!
Q: I see a “Looks like this promotion has reached its maximum number of claims” error when trying to redeem my promo!
A: If you are seeing a “Looks like this promotion has reached its maximum number of claims” error, that means the maximum limit for claims of this promotion has been reached and this promotion can no longer be claimed. If you have claimed this Nitro promotion, you are still able to redeem it to your Discord account!
Please note that the support team is unable to assist you if you run into this error and we are not able to increase the limit of claims.
Q: I see a “Looks like your email isn’t verified. Make sure to verify your email before claiming this gift.”
A: If you are seeing a “Looks like your email isn’t verified, make sure to verify your email before claiming this gift” error, you are trying to redeem this Nitro promotion on a Discord account with an email that hasn’t been verified yet.
