I bought my box earlier this week after speaking to someone at work. I think he bought a 12 month "gift" but after reading this forum, it seems like this is unlikely. The first place I looked was Ebay and a lot of the sellers were between 20-30 feedback, not longterm sellers. I bought my first month from Ebay this week but the user has over 1000 positive feedback going back 2 years. So I only bought a month to see what the service is like and he has been nothing but helpful. As per the old adage, "If it looks to good to be true, it usually is".
