All Adobe Stock Credits Disappeared!

Hi,

I purchased a monthly subscription to Adobe Stock and had accumulated over 50 credits, having only used 7. I had the subscription for a total of 6 months, the total cost of which was £216.

On cancelling my subscription to Adobe Stock, my credits remained there, as expected. But on logging back in a couple of week later, all the credits had disappeared. I received no notice whatsoever that the credits would expire (if that is the reason for them vanishing).

I chose Adobe Stock because I checked in detail whether credits would be lost on subscription cancellation. At the time, I found no information within the registration process or within the Adobe website. I chose Adobe over it's competitors such as Shutter Stock (which I used previously) specifically because I saw that credits would remain after cancellation.

Now I am unable to contact Adobe Stock as there is no contact or email to contact them. If there was any notice in regards to the removal of credits then it was not clear.

I am appalled with the service and lack of information regarding this matter and the only option Adobe have given me in relation to this is to post on this forum.

I hope someone from Adobe can explain this predicament.

Regards,

Mustafa

I accessed the link you gave me in order to contact Customer Care. However, after going through the automated process of gaining contact details, the only option I was given was to post my issue on the forum.

Load of dog sh*t from adobe. lost $500 worth of credits and that's ok in thier eyes with no support from CS other than 'sorry too bad'. Really, just not cool man. Never subscribing to this robbery of a service ever again.

You have 10 asset subscription which has a cap of 120 assets a year. There was an issue where some users were granted more than should have been and the issue was fixed.

I too lost a lot of credits.  When I contacted support the resolution was too bad, your subscription ended.  I am going elsewhere for my assets now.

Please be sure to read the conditions. It’s the same with other providers...

This is awful!  If I sign back up for the stock plan will I get all of my credits back?

Hi Matt,

We will be able to add the credits back in your account once you subscribe to the Stock plan.

The credits which were valid and active in your account at the time of the subscription cancellation will be added.

Thank you Sheena.

Can I please have the credits back now?  I'm really struggling with something that I paid for and saved month after month, disappearing without notice.  Is Adobe becoming one of those companies that hides dishonest business practices deep in their terms and conditions?  This is a big swing for you guys.  Pretty disappointing.

Hi there,

I totally understand the issue that you are seeing but as per the terms mentioned in our FAQs here: Common Questions about plans, purchasing, and availability, Adobe Stock the unused credits are only valid till the time your subscription is active.

If I cancel my subscription, can I still use any unused licenses in my account?

Yes. Once you have licensed an asset, the license is permanent. You can use the assets you license regardless of your subscription status as long as you adhere to the general terms of use restrictions.

Let me know if that helps!

Sheena

Hi Sheena,

I appreciate your swift reply. However, before purchasing the credits I tried finding any clause both within your website and during registration that stated that credits would vanish when the subscription has ended. I was not able to find any such notice. What's more shocking is that no notice was given even after cancelling the subscription, through email or during the cancellation process.

The only reason I let the subscription continue was because I thought I would have the credits at hand for future use. Had I known the truth, I would have instantly cancelled my subscription after the first month.

I must note that whilst searching for the best stock photo site to use, other sites were much clearer straightaway in regards to credits in this situation; and rightly so.

With such a large loss occurred to customers such as myself, having this critical information within your FAQs is simply not good enough; it's abysmal. It's actually ruined my trust for Adobe.
