Why won’t it let me subscribe to a specific product when I’m a member?
Even if you’re an AOL member, there are a few reasons why you might be having difficulty subscribing to a product:
- Only the Primary, Designated Primary or General AOL Username can be used to order AOL Premium Subscription Products for an AOL account, so you’ll have a difficult time placing an order if you try to do so with a different AOL Username. To learn more about AOL Usernames, visit My Account.
- Unfortunately, not every location complies with our offers. You might not qualify for the product if there are legal restrictions where you live.
- AOL members who have an active AOL Advantage Plan and attempt to purchase a AOL Premium Subscription service or product that is associated with the AOL Advantage Plan will not be eligible because one or more of the products are provided in the AOL Advantage Plan subscription. Please visit your mybenefits.aol.com page to view the products and services included in your plan.
- AOL members who have an active AOL Security Essentials subscription and attempt to purchase a AOL Premium Subscription service or product that is associated with AOL Security Essentials will not be eligible because one or more of the products are provided in the AOL Security Essentials subscription. Please visit myaccount.aol.com to view the products and services included in your subscription.
- No one’s perfect. We could be experiencing technical difficulties. But don’t give up on us! Try back later, and if you’re still having issues, contact the appropriate tech support provider.
