Why do I see ADS if I paid for the Premium Membership?

  • Updated

If you've paid for a Premium Membership but are still seeing ads, several factors could be at play. Here are some possible scenarios to consider:

  • Third party Payment Failure: If you signed up through a third party payment method and experienced a payment failure, please refer to their support article on resolving payment issues at:
  • Payment method was rejected: Your account will automatically cancel after a few days.
    • Any pre-authorization taken will be removed from your account soon, but you can not see it yet.
  • Payment Not Received: Verify your billing statements. If we do not receive the payment, your membership subscription will automatically be canceled after a few days.
  • Wrong Account: Check your Order History to ensure that you are logged in to the correct account. If you do not see any recent purchases, it is possible that you have a different account with an active Premium Membership subscription. If you are unable to locate the account, please contact our support team for assistance.
    • We highly recommend checking the email address entered on your Crunchyroll account: My Account > Change Email.
  • Deactivation Error: If the money for the membership was withdrawn from your account, and you did not cancel your membership, but it still got deactivated, please contact our support team, so we can fix the premium status.
