FAQs
Is McAfee free?
McAfee offers free software that any user can download and use. For instance, McAfee WebAdvisor lets you browse websites safely, whereas McAfee Antivirus (30-day trial only) gives you access to VPN protection and antivirus software. However, many of its premium features are only available with a paid subscription.
How much is Mcafee?
Depending on which plan you choose and the discounts currently available, Mcafee plans can cost anywhere between $39.99 and $269.99 per year. You'll generally save by choosing simpler plans with less users. From cheapest to most expensive, the plans on offer include the Starter Plan, Single User plan and Family Plan (for up to 6 family members).
How can I turn off McAfee auto-renewal?
If you're happy with your McAfee software but don't plan to renew your current subscription, you can turn off auto-renewal by logging in to your account, navigating to your subscriptions and toggling the 'Auto-Renewal' option. If a new subscription has been automatically purchased, McAfee even give you 60 days from the purchase date to request a full refund.
How can I contact McAfee customer service?
If you need support from McAfee customer service, head to their website and find the support section. From here, you can request a refund, get technical support, manage purchases & renewal, and more. You can also contact the McAfee customer service team via direct message on Facebook or Twitter.
Hints and Tips
Sign up for multi-year plans: Since there are no McAfee coupons — one of the best ways to maximize your savings is by signing up for extended plans or plans that protect more than one device. These plans/services tend to offer higher discounts. (And if you share the plan with someone else, you can possibly split the costs).
Shop on major holidays: Generally speaking, McAfee tends to offer deals all year round. However, one of the best ways to ensure you're getting the lowest price is by looking for deals during major holidays like Labor Day, Christmas, Black Friday & Cyber Monday. Big retail holidays tend to offer the lowest/best prices of the year, and can save you up to 70% off.
Get a McAfee free trial: McAfee occasionally offers 30-day free trials of select products. It's a great way to test-run McAfee services and see if they're the right choice for you and your needs before you commit to a paid plan.
Grab bundles: If you're planning to sign up for a few different McAfee products, you'll save on the cost of each individual piece of software when you buy them together as part of a bundle.

How we source coupon codes
The coupons you’ll find on Tom’s Guide have been sourced by our dedicated coupons team, who use the web, our relationships with retailers, & our affiliate networks to find the latest codes. The offers on each coupon page are updated every few days to ensure we feature the freshest ways to save, and our commercial team (based in London) also sources exclusive codes and sales info directly from some of the biggest retailers around.
How we test coupon codes
All the coupon codes we list on our pages have been tested by our deals & offers teams to check they work as intended before they’ve been uploaded. You’ll find a wide range of coupons on Tom’s Guide, including free shipping offers, student discounts, and savings on various kinds of products.
To ensure that all listed codes are available to use, we don’t include any one-time use or user-specific coupons. We also provide as much information as we can to keep things as clear as possible - any expiry dates or terms & conditions will be listed alongside the code. Look for the ‘Terms & Conditions’ text - you’ll be able to click this to expand this section for more details.
What to do if a coupon code doesn’t work
We take care to only list tried & tested coupons on our pages, so all codes should be active and confer the listed discount or deal. However, although we keep up to date with expiry dates and any terms & conditions, sometimes retailers change these before we can update our pages.
Should a coupon fail to work as expected, check you meet any listed requirements. These can include minimum spends, multibuy offers, or product-specific promotions (i.e. 10% off selected tablets). You can view all associated requirements by clicking “View terms and conditions” below your code.
If this does not solve your issue, you can contact our customer service team by emailing coupons.tomsguide@futurenet.com. Make sure to let us know which coupon you were trying to use and which page this was listed on, and we’ll be in touch to help as soon as possible.
How we make money
Tom’s Guide makes money from coupons through a commission-based model. We have agreements in place with each retailer on our site - for every purchase made using one of our coupons or deals, we earn a small percentage of the order total back in commission.
Thanks to this model, we can save our customers money without charging them a thing. You won’t pay a penny to get the discounts listed on our pages, so whichever code or deal you choose, you’ll get exactly what it says on the tin.
