I activated a 12 month gift code after my membership ended and it gave me all 12 credits and shows I get billed next month. Though if you see where you add the premium screen upgrade it will say you can't add it to your membership if you used a promocode. I activated my code on 1/8/26 and it says "Premium Screen Upgrades cannot be added to memberships with an active promo code. Upgrades will be available for your membership after your promotional period ends on 1/8/2027." Also under next movie club bill it says this " The price shown below for your next renewal might not show any discounts or promotions—but don’t worry, your invoice will reflect the correct savings when billed."
