What to Do If Your Top-Up Voucher Email Has Not Arrived
If your mobile top-up voucher email has not arrived, do not worry straight away. In most cases, the voucher has not been lost. The email may be in a different inbox folder, the payment may still be processing, or the email address used at checkout may need checking.
UPTOP sends mobile top-up voucher codes by email. If your code has not arrived, use the checks below before contacting support.
Quick answer
Most UPTOP voucher codes are sent to the chosen email address within seconds of successful payment. In some cases, delivery can take up to 2 minutes.
If your voucher email has not arrived, first check your spam, junk, promotions and deleted folders. Then confirm the email address used at checkout and make sure your payment completed successfully.
If you still cannot find the voucher email, contact support@up-top.uk and include the email address used for your order, the network selected, the voucher amount, and the approximate time of purchase.
1. Wait up to 2 minutes after payment
Voucher emails are usually quick, but they may not appear instantly in every inbox. Some email providers take longer to process automated order emails, especially emails that contain voucher codes or numbers.
Before contacting support, wait up to 2 minutes after successful payment and refresh your inbox.
2. Check spam, junk and promotions folders
If the voucher email is not in your main inbox, check the folders where automated emails often get filtered.
Check:
Spam or Junk
Promotions
Updates
All Mail
Archive
Deleted or Bin
You can also search your mailbox for:
UPTOP
voucher
top up
the network name, such as O2, EE or Vodafone
If you find the email in spam or junk, mark it as safe so future voucher emails are easier to receive.
3. Check the email address used at checkout
A small typing mistake can stop the voucher email from reaching you. This is one of the most common reasons an order email does not arrive.
Common mistakes include:
typing
.coninstead of.commissing a letter in the email address
using an old saved email address from browser autofill
entering a work email by mistake
entering the recipient’s email incorrectly when buying for someone else
If you think the email address may have been entered incorrectly, contact UPTOP support and include the details you remember from the order.
4. Make sure the payment completed successfully
A voucher email is only sent after successful payment. If checkout was interrupted, the payment failed, or the payment is still processing, the voucher may not have been issued yet.
Check whether:
you reached the order confirmation screen
your card payment was approved
you received any payment confirmation from your bank or card provider
the payment is showing as pending rather than completed
If you are unsure whether the payment went through, contact support before placing another order.
5. If you bought the voucher for someone else
If you bought a voucher for another person, check which email address was entered during checkout.
You may have:
sent the voucher to your own email address
entered the other person’s email address
typed the recipient’s email address incorrectly
If the voucher was sent to your own email address, you can forward the code to the person who needs it. If it was sent to the recipient’s email address, ask them to check their spam, junk and promotions folders too.
6. Contact UPTOP support if the email still has not arrived
If you have waited up to 2 minutes, checked all inbox folders and confirmed the payment completed, contact UPTOP support.
