QuoteBonus Program
Adobe offers complimentary Creative Cloud codes for 12-months to active Contributors, based on criteria identified as adding measurable value to its content collection. In 2026, Contributors received Creative Cloud Pro, which includes 20+ apps such as Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro and more. The program is continually re-assessed, and details are subject to change on an annual basis.

To ensure fair distribution of program benefits, Contributors who previously received a bonus code but did not redeem it were not eligible for the 2026 program.

Those eligible will see a blue banner in the Contributor Portal with their redemption code on Thursday, March 19, 2026.

1 No signup necessary. Contributors located in countries where the apps are not available are excluded from the Bonus Program.

2 Adobe employees are excluded from the bonus program.

There's no info about criteria already.

I'm trying Anyway, thanks for the explanation and your suport!

Thank you Mat,

As I got all the creative apps I have a question:

I already have a subscription for photoshop and lightroom on the same account, will this payment stop automatically or do I have to cancel this subscription?

This question has been asked in a couple of different ways here and the answer applies to all. If the subscription you currently have is EXACTLY the same as the new subscription provided with the bonus code, then you can redeem the bonus code and the expiration date will simply extend by 1 year.

If however, the subscription you have is different in any way (such as the amount of cloud storage included) then redeeming the bonus code will open a new subscription running in parallel with the old one. You need to cancel the old subscription or you will continue to pay for it.

As many of you have discovered, the codes are applied to the contributor portal for those who have qualified. Thank you to everyone for your active contribution and helping to make Adobe Stock what it is. We are truly grateful to you for your efforts and hope you enjoy the year of Creative Cloud!

As always, stay creative!

Mat Hayward

Mat,

Based on my experience, it can be tricky. I thought my current plan was the "generic photography plan". However, I did run into the parallel subscription issue. I think what may have happened is that the "generic photography plan" of a year ago is not exactly the same as the "generic photography plan" of today....so I ended up with a parallel subscription.

OK, thanks for the report. I'll look into this and share what I find out. It's possible there is a change I'm not aware of. Can anyone else confirm they redeemed a code for EXACTLY the same plan but instead of extending the expiration, a different subscription opened in addition to the existing sub?

Thanks again,

Mat

Mat, have the same problem as you described. Now I have active two Photography plan (20GB). The number of applications varies, but I didn't check it before activation...

Matt, when accepting the terms of use of the Firefly plug-in in Photoshop, a message appears that commercial use of the beta version is prohibited. Does this mean that the Photoshop plug-in is still in beta or is it safe to upload files to Adobe Stock?

The verification rules have become very strange. When I send illustrative editorial photos, obviously not generated by AI, I have to accept the conditions, among others: the photo does not contain logos and trademarks. After all, this is the essence of illustrative editorial photos. And Adobe is threatening to suspend my account.

Something about reviews - for several days I have to accept conditions on pop-up after click "send". And It's a little crazy - I send editorial photos, and yet I have to accept that the photos have no visible logos or trademarks. And they threaten to suspend the account. I've sent a lot of pictures with logos before and they were accepted, what's the point?
