New gift Gotcha!

There was a new update posted today https://civitai.red/changelog?id=292 You can now gift any tier membership to any user regardless of what tier they already are. There is a very important gotcha in the bullet points. "Higher tier: they move up, free for every month you paid for. After that it renews at the new tier unless they change it." Meaning if you already have a membership and get gifted a tier higher than yours make sure you downgrade before the gift ends or you will be charged for the higher tier at renewal!

Sorry for posting multiple articles back to back, this update came in while I was writing the previous one.

Update 1: I heard back from support. Here's Sarah's direct quote "Yes, that's how it works right now for a membership billed monthly by card. Accepting a higher-tier gift moves the membership up, and once the gifted months are used it renews at the higher tier unless it's changed back. Nothing happens until you press Accept, and the gift tells you this before you do."
