What's Wrong?

I redeemed a Max 5x gift card while my subscription had an overdue invoice. The $100 credit appeared on my Billing page but was never applied to subscription renewal. I paid $80 by card to clear the invoice. The credit then disappeared completely.

Three support tickets submitted — none received a human response:

  • Conversation ID: 215473790959444
  • Conversation ID: 215473835489747
  • Conversation ID: 215473919891596

What Should Happen?

Max 5x gift card should extend subscription by one month as documented. The $100 credit should not disappear without being applied.

Error Messages/Logs

No error messages. Credit silently disappeared from Billing page

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Have an active Max 5x subscription
  2. Miss a renewal payment (overdue invoice)
  3. Redeem a Max 5x gift card
  4. Observe: credit appears on Billing page but does not apply to the overdue invoice
  5. Pay overdue invoice by card ($80)
  6. Credit disappears from account

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can be mitigated by re-applying the Max 5x gift card after resolving the overdue invoice, as the credit's disappearance seems to be triggered by the manual payment.

Guidance

  • Verify that the gift card redemption process is working correctly by checking the Billing page for the credit after redemption.
  • Attempt to re-apply the Max 5x gift card after the overdue invoice has been paid to see if the credit is reapplied.
  • Review related issues (#45681, #41499, #45335, #47290) to check if similar problems have been reported and if there are any known workarounds.
  • Consider reaching out to support again, providing the conversation IDs of the previous tickets, to request assistance with reapplying the credit.

Notes

The root cause of the issue seems to be related to the interaction between the gift card redemption and the overdue invoice payment process. However, without more information about the system's internal workings, it's difficult to provide a definitive solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: re-apply the Max 5x gift card after resolving the overdue invoice, as this may allow the credit to be reapplied correctly.
