Can I buy a years worth of Pandora without having to sign a subscription?

I want to know if I can sign up for a year at a time, WITHOUT having a subscription.

I don't do subscriptions - ever.

While I'd like to pay for an account - I've been a user for a long time - I refuse to sign up for subscriptions that get automatically recharged. It's against my religion.

I've asked about this before and have been continually blown off. Will Pandora ever give this option to those of us who can not sign up for re-occuring charges?

@banner Nice to see you around the community.

One option would be to purchase an annual gift subscription to Pandora Plus, and then redeem it to your own account.

These subscriptions do not renew automatically.

To purchase a one year gift subscription of Pandora Plus, first log into your Pandora account from our website and then visit the Pandora Plus gift subscriptions page.

If you were looking to upgrade to Pandora Premium, unfortunately, we do not currently offer gift subscriptions.

This being said, a workaround for this would be to purchase a Pandora Gift Card from one of our partners. These gift cards can be purchased for any amount and used as a standard form of payment when upgrading to any of our subscription tiers from the Pandora website. If you choose an amount equal to the total of the subscription you choose, 

You'll need to consider your local tax rates when purchasing the gift card for annual subscriptions. In order to apply the gift card as a form of payment, the balance of the gift card must cover the total of the upgrade including tax.

I hope this is helpful!

Thank you.

What is the difference between an annual subscription and a premium subscription, in terms of the services each account offers?

@banner We offer annual subscriptions for both Pandora Plus and Pandora Premium.

This being said, we only offer annual gift subscriptions for Pandora Plus
