Frequently Asked Questions

Find the answers to the most frequently asked questions for this topic.

Where can I find my activation code?

Your activation code has been sent to your email. If you don’t see it in your inbox, please check:

  • Your spam or junk folder.

  • Any folders where your email filters or rules may have redirected it.

If you still can’t find it, please contact the retail store for further assistance.

What do I do if my payment is not going through?

If you’re having trouble with a payment, try these steps:

1. Check that your card details (number, expiration date, and CVV) are correct and up to date.

2. Try a different payment method, such as another card or PayPal.

3. Contact your bank or card issuer to find out if there’s a hold, limit, or other issue blocking the payment.

Why does activation require manual steps?

When you purchase Quicken Simplifi from a retail store, the subscription is not automatically activated. This is intentional: it protects your product and lets you decide exactly when to start your subscription, ensuring you receive the full year of service you paid for.
