What’s new
Gifts can now be for one teacher only
You can now choose what a gift is for:
- For lessons with one teacher only. Start from a teacher's profile with Give lessons with … as a gift, keep For lessons with [teacher] only, and the gift is kept for that teacher: the person who opens it can spend it on that teacher's lessons, packages, courses, group classes and voice reviews, and nothing else. Their balance shows it apart, as "$50 for lessons with [teacher]", and it is used first whenever they book that teacher.
- Any teacher. Choose Any teacher (added to their balance) and it is ordinary balance, as before.

If a lesson paid with a gift for one teacher is cancelled or refunded, the money goes back to that teacher's gift balance. If the gift is never opened, or you cancel it, the amount comes back to your own balance as ordinary balance.
Gifts you gave before today keep working as before: ordinary balance for any teacher.
