Kids Month Pass added but not requested

I have today received an email informing me that I now have a kids pass free for 4 months which then becomes a monthly subscription.

 

As I don't have children, I have no use for a kids TV pass and didn't request it.

 

I have logged into my account and cancelled it but I'm curious as to how it might have been activated in the first place, especially as I don't even have a current, valid payment method registered to the account?

Thanks for your messages on this.

 

We identified a glitch in our website where customers thought they’d applied vouchers for a NOW TV Pass included in their NOW TV Box bundles to their accounts, but hadn’t.

 

To make sure no one missed out on what they purchased, customers who have activated their NOW TV Box but not applied their voucher have now had this automatically added for them.

 

As always, customers can cancel before their renew date via ‘My Account’ once logged in.

 

If you need any further help please reach out to one of our agents via webchat here

We’re very sorry for the confusion this has caused.

 

We identified that some customers have had problems applying vouchers for a NOW TV Pass included in their NOW TV Box bundles to their accounts. To make sure no one missed out on what they purchased, customers who have activated their NOW TV Box but not applied their voucher have now had an additional matching voucher automatically added for them.

 

Please be assured Auto-renew will be turned off and you will not be charged at the end of the voucher period.

 

We’re sorry again for the confusion.
