Check that the recipient can use the relevant Amazon marketplace, and review the checkout information before submitting payment. Amazon’s public help materials do not establish a universal rule for redeeming a gift across marketplaces, or confirm delivery-scheduling and code steps.

Check the recipient’s country and devices
Kindle Unlimited eligibility depends on country or territory, and additional restrictions may apply. Before buying, check the recipient’s location and the Amazon marketplace where they expect to use the membership; do not assume a gift bought in one marketplace will work in another.
A Kindle e-reader is not required. Amazon says members can read on Kindle devices or use the free Kindle app on smartphones, tablets, and computers. The recipient also needs an Amazon account and a current valid payment method to use the service.
