Why can't I redeem my promo/offer code?

We're here to help.

First off, we know this can be frustrating. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

There are a few common scenarios when redeeming promo codes. Let's figure out which one matches your situation:

I redeemed the promo code but still don't have premium

If you successfully redeemed your promo code but your account still shows as "Roots Free", the subscription status with Apple likely got out of sync. Here's how to fix it:

First, confirm the redemption worked:

  • Open your iPhone Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions > Roots

  • Check if the promo code subscription is displayed there


If it's listed in Apple Subscriptions:

Go to Roots > Profile > Account Settings (top of the screen) > Your Name > Tap "Restore Subscription" (under "Subscription")

Your premium access should be restored instantly.
