Why haven't I received my Avast subscription after making a credit/debit card purchase?

If you do not receive an order confirmation email containing your Avast subscription details after purchasing a subscription with a credit or debit card, we recommend you check the junk/spam folder in your email account in case the order confirmation was filtered from your inbox.

Order confirmation emails can take several hours to process and send. If you do not receive the email immediately after making the purchase, check your email inbox and junk/spam folder again later.

If your order confirmation email does not arrive to your email inbox or junk/spam folder, you can obtain your activation code from your Avast Account:

  1. Log into your Avast Account using the same email address you used to make the purchase.

Once we identify your order, we will adjust your email address and resend the subscription details to you.
