[Human hand-off] It happens, it is fixable, and it never costs you a second purchase.

It happens, it is fixable, and it never costs you a second purchase.

What went wrong

Capital Prep grants access to the address used at checkout. Sign in with a different address and you land in a different account — one with a trial in it. The pass is not lost. It is sitting on the other address.

Common versions of this:

  • You paid with a personal address and signed in with your work one, or the reverse.

  • You paid with a Google account whose address is not the one you type.

  • There is a typo in the address you gave at checkout, so the receipt went somewhere that is not quite your mailbox.

How to check

Compare two things: the address on your Stripe receipt, and the address under Account → Profile. If they differ, that is the whole problem.

How to fix it

Email [email protected] and tell us:

  • the address you paid with (from the receipt), and

  • the address you want to use from now on, and

  • your exam.

A person moves the purchase to the account you want, with your studying intact. There is no self-serve merge, on purpose — moving a paid entitlement between accounts is not something we let a form do.

If you cannot reach the address you paid with at all — a closed work account, a typo that went nowhere — say so. We can still find the purchase from the card's last four digits and the date.

Meanwhile, do not buy again. A second purchase does not merge the first one; it just means a second refund for us to process.
