This is a $100 TiVo service gift card that can only be applied to a new service activation. It cannot be applied to an existing account. You can use this in conjunction with a new activation in a multi-service account. You must provide a credit card with activation and use of this card to handle any balance this card may not cover in your agreement. And you will probably sign up for at least a one year service contract which will be well more than $100. May not be used to purchase TiVo merchandise. Only for new activations. So if you already have a TiVo account and want to apply this card to your account you can not. If you are purchasing a new TiVo or adding another TiVo service to your account then this can be applied to your new service. Not exactly what I thought it was. If your thinking about giving this as a gift, just make sure the recipient is going to activate a TiVo with it.

When acquired in a bundle, as I did, this was icing on the cake for a sweet deal on a new Tivo. Series 2 Tivo for $99 with this thrown in? its like paying you 1 dollar to try Tivo.

This was worthless unless you know not to activate your Tivo prior to receipt of the gift card. Somehow I think it is designed to do just that it cannot be used for anything ELSE! Good it was so-called free!

Getting this gift card allows you to get TiVo's program listings service. It's possible to use TiVo without it, but a big pain in the butt. And this gift card is worth about 10 months of service.

I used my gift card for my new subscription but Tivo still charged my bank account the entire amount anyway-- even though it said it would only charge me $29. When I called the next day, they were friendly and said it would be fixed immediately.
