It seems that gifting is a new feature? Anyway, I have an API integration that relies on currently\_entitled\_amount\_cents to distribute perks. For normal pledges this works fine, but I recently got a gifted pledge and the value is zero. Is this intended? Is there another field like currently\_entitled\_tiers that I’d have to use instead?

This is for the [https://www.patreon.com/api/oauth2/v2/campaigns/.../members](https://www.patreon.com/api/oauth2/v2/campaigns/.../members) endpoint

After experimenting with this further I can confirm that using the maximum value of `currently_entitled_tiers.amount_cents` is a functional workaround.

Yes, gifting is not supported in the api at the moment but some work is underway. For now try using workarounds.

Is there any progress on this?

I have the WordPress plugin running and am testing out gift memberships. It is showing a zero pledge.

I currently use `Patreon_Wordpress::getUserPatronage();` to determine the user’s pledge.

```auto
  // determine user's current pledge
  $user_patronage = Patreon_Wordpress::getUserPatronage();

```

Gifted membership support is still not implemented. If you are using the WP plugin, you could check for user’s tier from the user’s return response.

@codebard can you please supply the PHP code to do this.

I used `print_r` to output the json data.

```auto
print_r(json_encode(['user_patronage' => $user_patronage, 'pledge' => $pledge, 'user_response' => $user_response], JSON_PRETTY_PRINT));

```

This showed my Patreon account was not connected properly to Patreon.

After much testing I realised my issues were caused by an API error. I disconnected and reconnected my Patreon account. All is working now.

This function should give you the max entitled tier $ value of the patron:

In the same function, you can also see how you can get the exact tier.
