Redeemed code for annual plan not reflected in plan on account

Hi,

About an hour (or so) ago I redeemed a code for Adobe Creative Cloud Photgraphy Plan (12-month prepaid membership) that I got from Amazon, however, I cannot find it under my Plans and Products. I tried re-entering the code but it told me the code was already redeemed despite the fact that I cannot find the download for it or any order history of it in my Adobe account. Up until now I have been paing monthly for the Photography Plan (20GB). I have also tried the chat system, which seems to be the only method of contact, and now waited for nearly 1h30mins I'd quite like to do something fun. I need know what has happened to the redeemed plan and why it hasn't been added to my existing one.  I do still have the physical software download card and I'd appreciate any and all help with my issue. Thank you in advance for any assistance!

So you're in your 12 month of service which is good.  The redemption code you obtained from Amazon probably has to be processed before it's credited to your account.  Wait 24 hours.  If it's not showing on your plan tomorrow, contact customer care.

As I understand it, you must cancel the old subscription before you can create a new one.

When does your current subscription expire?

It shows, as before, that the next payment date is 19/08/2019 (Under Payment Info) Annual Plan, Paid Monthly, with the Annual Plan, Paid Monthly 'annually renewing' each June (Under Plan Info).

I don't believe any of the documentation says that you need to cancel an existing plan first. It doesn't ask you to stop the existing subscription in the Adobe help or on the card I bought. When I put the code it recognised and had me logged in with my Adobe ID - The code now shows as having been redeemed but doesn't show on my account.

You are, of course, correct that a little more patience would have resolved my issue. I have now received an email confirming the additional year and it also shows on my account.

My only comment for others in my situation would be a small message somewhere to say that the prepaid code was being processed, as this would have alleviated unnecessary worry.

Thank you for your assistance!

I have exactly the same issue. I submitted a redeem code from a retailer to extend my subscription. But no confirmation follows. And on my account page I'm still prompted to submit a redeem code. Why doesn't Adobe send a message confirming they're processing the code.

After I submitted the code, my account page turned up, with the same prompt that I should submit a code before a certain date. So the info was NOT updated yet. Not even now after 24 hrs, still not updated.

You're actually implying here, that I should have gotten some sort of confirmation! Right?

yes, when you check your account do you see your subscription extended by the expected amount?

the op ib 2019, not that i remember.  your op, yes.

 

in any case, contact adobe support.  there are 3 ways to contact adobe; chat, phone and twitter:

chat:
use a browser that allows popups and cookies
and click here, https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?rghtup=autoOpen
in the chat field (lower right), type AGENT
be patient, it can take quite a while to reach a human.

phone:
https://helpx.adobe.com/contact/phone.html

twitter:
tweet @AdobeCare

p.s. if you're contacted by anyone (via email or private message), it's much more likely to be a scammer than an adobe representative. ie, double check for an employee badge if contacted in the forums and look for an adobe.com domain in the email address if you click reply to an email. then check again and be very suspicious. any other method of contacting (or offering to contact you) is almost certainly a scam, https://community.adobe.com/t5/using-the-community-discussions/staying-safe-in-the-adobe-support-com...
