McAfee Saving Tips

Understand Renewal Prices: When you sign up for a McAfee plan, you're likely getting the introductory offer, usually 70% or more off. But when it renews in a year, it will shoot back up to full price. McAfee emails you before the renewal date, and it takes payment 30 days before renewal. So make sure you change your renewal settings on your account page to dodge the hefty renewal price.

Don't Pay for more than you need: Here at TechRadar, we found that even the cheapest McAfee plans give you the same level of antivirus and web protection. What the higher plans add is identity theft protection and covers more devices. So if you don't need those extras, there's no point paying for anything above basic.

Use one household plan: If you want to cover a family, there is no point having multiple plans. The McAfee+ family plans let you add up to five other people, which is two adults and four children. Each member gets their own login and identity monitoring, and family members don't even have to live with you.

Commit to Annual Plans: While McAfee offers month-to-month billing on select tiers, an annual subscription is almost always the smarter move if you need coverage for more than a few months. Yearly plans slash upfront costs by up to 75% and include a 30-day money-back guarantee that monthly buyers don't get. Just keep in mind that the heavy introductory discount expires at renewal, so prepare for a noticeably higher rate once year two begins.

How we source coupon codes

Whether it's through our affiliate networks, the depths of the world wide web, or our connections with big name brands, here at TechRadar we use every tool at our disposal to source the latest codes. Our coupons team updates each of our pages multiple times a week with the most recent deals, including exclusive coupons negotiated by our Commercial team. We also include the latest sales info directly from retailers to offer the most up-to-date discounts around.

How we test coupon codes

Each coupon you find on TechRadar has been tested before being uploaded by our dedicated Deals & Offers teams. You’ll see a range of offers, from free shipping to student discounts, with savings available on all kinds of products & services. To make sure every coupon is ready to use, we don’t list any user-specific or one-time codes.

We also include all relevant information about coupons, such as expiry dates and any terms & conditions, near the ‘Get Code’ button. You can see the details for an individual offer by clicking on the ‘Terms & Conditions’ text below the code and expanding the code area.

What to do if a coupon code doesn’t work

Although we do our best to ensure all listed codes are tried & tested, sometimes coupons expire or terms & conditions are changed before we can update pages. Our team works hard to make sure our coupons are active and work as intended, and should you encounter an issue when using one, we’ll work just as hard to help.

The best place to start is by checking the requirements. Click “View terms and conditions” to expand the code section and see any guidance on your chosen coupon. For example, you may need to meet a minimum spend, add other items to your basket to qualify for a multibuy offer, or confirm that your chosen code applies to the items in your basket (i.e. 10% off laptops).

If you’re still having issues using your code, you can email our customer service team on coupons.techradar@futurenet.com. Include as many details as possible - such as which code you used and which coupon page it’s listed on so our team can address your issue as fast as possible.

How we make money 

When it comes to coupons, TechRadar earns money via a commission-based model. For every brand we have a coupon page for, we’ve negotiated a deal that means we earn a percentage of total basket value in commission back from every order.

Using this model means we can offer our coupons to our customers free of charge. You won’t pay any fees to add your chosen coupon to your basket - you’ll simply pay the final order total once your discount has been applied.
