McAfee subscriptions renew automatically by default each year. You’ll receive email reminders 30, 14 and 7 days before renewal. To get the best renewal price, compare mcafee.com’s renewal rate with retail card prices at Argos, Currys or Amazon — retail cards are often cheaper.

How McAfee Auto-Renewal Works
When you first subscribe to McAfee, auto-renewal is turned on by default. On your subscription’s anniversary date, McAfee charges your saved payment card and renews your subscription for another year. You keep the same plan and device coverage.
How to Turn Off McAfee Auto-Renewal
- Sign in to mcafee.com
- Go to My Account > Auto-Renewal Settings
- Toggle auto-renewal to Off for your subscription
- Confirm the change
- You retain McAfee protection until the current subscription end date
Best Ways to Renew McAfee at a Lower Price
Option 1: Retail Cards (Usually Cheapest)
McAfee retail cards at Argos, Currys, Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Amazon are frequently priced below the standard mcafee.com renewal rate. During back-to-school and Black Friday sales, discounts of 30–50% are common.
Option 2: Call Us for Best Available Price
Call +44-800-066-8910 — our team can advise on the best current McAfee renewal options and any promotional pricing available to you.
Option 3: Upgrade Your Plan at Renewal
Sometimes upgrading from McAfee Total Protection 3-device to LiveSafe (unlimited) costs only £5–£10 more per year. If you have additional devices to protect, renewal is a good time to consider this.
McAfee Renewal Failed — What to Do
If McAfee’s auto-renewal charge fails (expired payment card, insufficient funds), McAfee sends email alerts. Update your payment details in My Account > Billing, or switch to renewing with a retail card.
