A gift

The present for someone
who plays bridge.

Cuebids is where bridge players practice their bidding. Give a year of it, or a pack of tickets, and they will use it on a Tuesday evening rather than putting it in a drawer.

You do not need a Cuebids account to buy one. Prices are shown at checkout, in your own currency. Been given a code? Redeem it here.

What you are actually giving

Bridge is a bidding game before it is a card game, and the bidding is the part that is hard to practice. Cuebids deals hands to a player and their regular partner, they bid them whenever each has a minute, and the app shows at once whether they found the best contract.

  • Used by club players, by world champions, and by a good many people in between
  • Works on iPhone, iPad, Android and in a browser
  • Bidding with a human partner is free, so a gift buys the extras rather than the basics
What to give

Four gifts, and none of them renew

Two are a year of a subscription. Two are tickets, which is what Cuebids charges for a robot partner and for entry to its competitions. If you are not sure which, tickets are the safe present: they never expire and they suit any kind of player.

Heart, for a year

Everything the app has. Unlimited tickets, every deal type, every analysis tool, private groups. The gift for someone who plays a lot and would notice the ceiling.

Diamond, for a year

240 tickets a month, ten deal types and three analysis tools. The popular one, and plenty for a player who practices most weeks.

250 tickets

A few months of practicing with a robot partner, or a good run of competitions. Nothing to cancel and no date to remember.

1500 tickets

The same thing, at the size where nobody is counting. Works for a player at any subscription level, including none.

Gifts of the same subscription stack end to end, so two people giving a year each give two years, not two overlapping ones.

How it reaches them

Three ways, and you pick at checkout

A gift can go straight onto their account, arrive by email on a day you choose, or come to you as a code to write in a card. Whichever you pick, you also get the code yourself.

  1. 1

    Straight to a friend

    If you play Cuebids yourself and they are on your friend list, pick their name. The gift lands in their inbox in the app and they open it there. No code to keep track of.

  2. 2

    We email it, when you say

    Give their email address and we send the gift to them. Leave the date empty and it goes at once, or choose a morning and it waits until then.

  3. 3

    You hand it over

    Take the code yourself and print it on a card we lay out for you, write it in one of your own, or read it down the phone. It works for a year from the day you buy it and can be used once.

Before you buy

Do I need a Cuebids account?

Not to buy a gift by code. You need one only to send a gift straight to somebody on your friend list, because that is how Cuebids knows which account to put it on.

Will it charge me again next year?

No. A gifted subscription is a fixed year that simply ends, and nobody is asked for a card when it does. Nothing here renews or turns into a subscription.

What if they already pay for Cuebids?

A gifted year of the same subscription is added to the end of what they already have, so nothing is wasted. If they have a different one, they keep whichever is better while the gift lasts.

What if they do not play bridge yet?

Then tickets are the better gift. An account is free and they can bid with a partner without spending anything, so the tickets sit there until they want a robot partner or a competition.

What if they never use the code?

It is good for a year. Until it is redeemed the gift is not on anybody’s account, so a code that gets lost in a coat pocket in March still works in September.

Can I print it?

Yes. Choose to take the code yourself and it is emailed to you, large enough to read out or copy into a card. You can forward that email or print it as it is.

It takes about a minute

Pick a gift, pay, and decide whether we deliver it or you do. Nothing to install and no account needed unless you want to send it to a friend directly.
