you are purchasing a redemption code. make sure you qualify with the small print terms.

For subscription products, you can skip entering credit card details by clicking Remind me later. Entering credit card details helps ensure continuity of your subscription.

I just noticed this on the bottom of the page after giving it a re-read, does this mean that the subscription will function without adding any payment info to my Adobe account?

I also wanted to know, if anyone has personally experienced buying through Amazon, New Egg, Best Buy etc. whether or not they subscription is managed through the reseller or directly through Adobe.

I have seen one post back from 2019 claiming that the Auto Renewal function is managed through Amazon for Amazon purchases via Amazon Subscription section of their account.

the subscription is managed by adobe. when you purchase from a vendor that's selling a redemption code.

and you're increasing the likelihood of a problem when purchasing elsewhere.

you can't get anything from adobe without credit card info. you can't even get a free trial without a credit card on file.
