Promo Code Puzzled
Here's what you need to know:
If you’ve received a promo code or are trying to redeem one, keep these key points in mind:
- Check the Expiration Date: Our promo codes have a time limit, so ensure yours is still valid before using it.
- Review the Terms & Conditions: Some of our promotions apply only to specific subscriptions, regions, or subscriber types. Make sure to read the fine prints sent to your email.
- Enter the Code Correctly: Promo codes are case-sensitive and must be entered exactly as shown—avoid typos or extra spaces.
- Confirm the Discount Applied: Before completing your checkout, double-check that the discount has been successfully applied to your total.
- Check for Compatibility with Other Offers: Promo codes cannot be combined with other discounts or promotions, so review the details beforehand.
- Verify Where It’s Valid: Some promotions apply only to direct BritBox subscriptions and may not be valid for subscriptions through Apple TV Channels, Amazon Prime Video Channels, The Roku Channel, and others.
BritBox Gift Card Hiccups
Here's what you need to know:
- Check Your Balance: Before redeeming your gift card for a subscription, make sure it covers the full cost. For example, an annual subscription requires a balance of $89.99 or more.
- For US Subscribers Only: BritBox gift cards can only be used in the US. If you gifted one to a friend in another region (like Australia), unfortunately, it won’t work.
- Direct Subscriptions Only: Gift cards can’t be used to subscribe via Apple (including Apple TV Channels), Amazon Prime Video Channels, or Google Play (including Android TV). They’re only valid for direct BritBox subscriptions.
- Go Straight to Redeem: New subscribers don’t need to sign up first, and returning or active subscribers don’t need to log in. Simply visit britbox.com/redeem and follow the steps to activate your subscription.
Troubleshooting Steps for Redeeming BritBox Gift Cards
If you're experiencing issues redeeming your gift card—such as error messages, an unresponsive website, or the system not recognizing your code—try the following steps to resolve the problem:
- Double-Check the Gift Code: Ensure you've entered the code correctly, exactly as shown, since it is case-sensitive. Common mistakes include confusing similar-looking characters, such as the number "1" and the lowercase letter "l".
- Clear Your Browser’s Cache and Cookies: If the error persists after verifying the code, try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies. This helps refresh the site by removing outdated or corrupted data that may be causing login issues, loading errors, or display glitches.
- Try a Different Browser or Device: If clearing your cache doesn’t work, switch to another browser (Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Mozilla Firefox) or use a different device to redeem your gift card.

Gift Subscription Glitches
Here’s what you need to know:
- Annual Subscription Only: Gift subscriptions can only be used for an annual plan and won’t work for monthly subscriptions.

- For Direct Subscriptions Only: Gift subscriptions can’t be redeemed through third-party platforms like Apple (including Apple TV Channels), Amazon Prime Video Channels, or Google Play (including Android TV). They only work for subscriptions made directly through BritBox.
- Redeem in the Right Place: New subscribers don’t need to sign up first! Simply visit britbox.com/redeem and follow the steps to activate your subscription.
