Bunsgiving? The Gift of Grammar™?
Over the years, we have had users reach out about gifting Bunpro subscriptions to friends and family. We turned this into a dedicated event (Bunsgiving) a few years back.
With how successful Bunsgiving was the last couple of years, and the time it takes each year to process all the gifting, we have decided to make it a dedicated feature.
We have created a new Bunsgiving page, that you can use to buy gift Subscription Tokens and donate to the Donation Pool
How can I gift a subscription?
This year it’s very simple. Visit the Gifting page, and click on one of the big nuggets:
Follow the purchase flow, and you will be emailed a unique token that you can send to that special someone.
The codes of purchased/unredeemed tokens can also be viewed in the Available Gift Codes part of your Subscription Settings.
The Bunsgiving sale prices are as follows:
| Length | Price |
|---|---|
| 1 month |
|
| 3 months (new) |
|
| 1 year |
|
| Lifetime |

Lifetime Sale 
Maybe that special someone in need of a little grammar TLC is you. While the Bunsgiving Sale is active, you can give yourself the Gift of Grammar™️ directly with a discounted lifetime membership ($150 → $120).
See your subscription page for details.
PS. The Bunsgiving Sale on Lifetime memberships is separate from the upcoming annual sale of lifetime memberships ($120) that will begin in late December.
🏊♂ Community Pool 
Our Mission
Whether it is how we build the platform, our recent localization efforts, or making learning material freely available (like our recent release of 25 full JLPT practice tests), our mission to make Japanese learning more accessible is a core part of why we do what we do.
However the premium and expanded features that we offer (SRS, progress tracking, cram etc) all require a subscription, and while Bunpro is one of, if not the cheapest paid tool out there, sometimes not everyone has the means to utilize these tools on an ongoing basis.
Behind the Scenes
From time to time, individuals reach out to us about their circumstances or socioeconomic struggles, and we do our best to grant free subscription time where we can.
At the same time we also have generous users who reach out to gift subscription time to be granted to users on an as needed basis.
We decided to formalize and combine these into the Community Pool.
The Pool
We have initially stocked the Community Pool with 1200 months of subscription time!
Any user who is struggling or unable to afford a subscription can apply for a six month subscription from the pool. This will open a custom support ticket. We will look at account activity, forum activity and the information provided to help us make an informed decision about the application.
Donating
Any user who has the means and is feeling generous can also contribute to the pool by donating Tokens.
We will match every donation made, month-for-month.
That means that for every 3 month donated to the pool by the community, a learner in need will be able to receive a 6 month subscription to keep their journey going.
Donations can be made anonymously. There is an activity display showing donations as well as distributions from the pool (distributions are always anonymous).
Note: This is just an example to show what it looks like
The Community Pool is a bit of a social experiment for Bunpro. We couldn’t find many examples to use as inspiration or to know what to expect. We ultimately went with this approach because it allows us to standardize giving subscription time to those in need while amplifying the impact of any user contributions.
Free Stuff 
Last, we have some FREE Bunsgiving-themed items available in the B-Point Shop!
For a limited time only, during the Bunsgiving period (25th Nov – 3rd Dec).
Snag them quick!
As always, we are eternally grateful for the continued support and feedback everyone provides!
You are what we are thankful for this Bunsgiving Season. 
With love, The Bunpro Team 
Based on what you said I gave it a shot but they charged me the full $120.
