Well, this has been fun...

Redeemed a 12-month Photography plan code in October 2018, but my account shows as being up for renewal in May 2019. Apparently a year isn't what it used to be.

Contacted support who said there's nothing they can do, even when presented with the email from Adobe confirming the credit, along with the redeemed code used. Oh, they did offer to waive a cancellation fee if I cancel right now, though! How generous.

Quite possibly the worst customer support experience I've had with any company as there was zero attempt to investigate.

Be careful, everybody.

May I ask where and how you got this Photography Plan redemption code and when did you actually get it?

A request has been made for a Staff member to try and help you.

Oh I see you bought a subscription from Amazon and they supplied you with a redemption code.

But that doesn't mean that whenever, at whatever time, Adobe gave you a new redemption code, for what it sounds like for FREE, to "EXTEND" your original subscription that the subscription should start when you redeemed that code. It was to Extend your subscription not start a new one.

Hi,

I think you're wrong about the dates and your code has been applied before. have you had a subscription before applying this code or is it the first time?

Can you give the details of what you had before ?

There was a 12-month redeemed code before, then around renewal (April/May) there's an email from Adobe talking about renewal, then an email saying "We made a mistake" because prices were wrong. No valid card on file, services stopped working. Then redeemed 12 months in October.

I know somebody is going to claim that the 12 months backdated to the original renewal date, but there was no service in that time and the subscription was inactive.....

Have you used the products between May and October 2018 ?If yes ,that means you applied your code in April or May 2018 or you paid monthly fee between April and October .

Do you have a case number you can post here? I will ask Adobe staff to look into that.

I'm afraid not. This was done via the web chat and the agent wouldn't escalate it further.
