Review these terms before claiming an offer

Use a temporary email address to receive messages for a short time, such as completing a shopping sign-up where permitted, getting a one-time verification code, or testing an email delivery flow you’re authorized to test. It isn’t a long-term email account and can’t send email from the temporary address.

Use a forwarding alias to route incoming mail over time: messages sent to the alias are forwarded to the real email address you use to sign in. You can manage aliases and view archived messages in forwarding management. Forwarding depends on the sender, delivery network, and receiving mailbox; it isn’t permanent email storage or a guarantee of continued delivery.

If you’re new to the service, start with the step-by-step coupon sign-up guide. If you’ll need to receive email later, use long-term forwarding instead of treating a temporary address as a permanent contact.

You must still follow applicable laws and the terms of the sending and shopping platforms. A temporary address only changes where you receive email; it doesn’t change your identity, eligibility for offers, or a platform’s restrictions on sign-ups.

Only handle emails you’re authorized to receive and view. Don’t let someone else’s account details or sensitive information end up at an address you can’t keep under your control. The lists below explain what’s permitted and prohibited.

We may limit requests or suspend related services if activity involves abuse or threatens service security. If you’re unsure whether an offer permits temporary addresses, check the store’s promotion terms or ask the store. We can’t determine your eligibility for you.

The store’s terms for transactions, payment, delivery, refunds, and offers apply independently. Inboxtick isn’t involved in fulfilling orders, can’t verify a seller’s promises, and can’t cancel orders, issue refunds, or restore store accounts through its email service.

Decide which accounts are suitable for temporary addresses, and keep an accessible email channel for future verification. For payment records, delivery problems, warranties, refund confirmations, or account recovery, use your long-term email address or a fixed alias if you understand the limits of forwarding.

One more check before you order

• Check whether the store uses email as the only way to reset your password. If it does, don’t use only a temporary address.
• Check where future order updates will be sent. Getting a verification code now doesn’t mean you won’t need to receive email later.
• If you’ve already signed up with a temporary address, change the email in your account settings as soon as possible and complete any verification the store requires for the new address.

If you’re not sure whether to unsubscribe, filter messages, or change your address, read our comparison of four options. If promotions have already filled up your main inbox, see how to clean up promotional emails.

Protect your sign-in email, temporary inbox access details, and authenticator keys. Don’t share pages containing credentials, verification codes, or sensitive emails. On a public or shared device, sign out of your forwarding account and avoid leaving browser data that could provide access to your inbox.

Forwarding accounts support two-step verification. To set it up, scan the QR code with a mobile app such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, or 1Password, then enter the 6-digit code shown in the app to confirm. Keep your authenticator and its key secure; don’t send them to anyone along with a sign-in verification code.

If you don’t receive an email, check these things first

• Check the full address you submitted, the time remaining, and whether the sending platform explicitly says it rejects temporary email addresses.
• Refresh your inbox manually and check that the page has no connection error. Avoid requesting verification codes repeatedly in a short period.
• For forwarding, check that the alias is enabled, then check your real inbox’s spam folder and filter rules.
• If verification is time-limited, promptly use another verification method or email-change option provided by the sending platform.

Network issues, sender restrictions, recipient filters, or maintenance can cause delays and failures. We don’t guarantee that every email will be delivered, a specific delivery time, or uninterrupted service. Don’t rely on this service as your only channel for emergencies, critical business notifications, or recovery of important accounts.

Receiving an email doesn’t mean its contents are trustworthy. For payments, passwords, or identity information, open the relevant platform yourself to verify them; don’t rely on a brand name in an email. See our Privacy Notice.

If we change service features or terms of use, we’ll post the updated terms on this page and change the update date at the top. Review the current version before continuing to use the service. If you don’t accept the new terms, stop using the service and first save any information you still need that hasn’t expired.

If you have a problem, email support@inboxtick.com with the time it happened, the feature you were using, and the error message shown on the page. Don’t include sign-in verification codes, full inbox credentials, authenticator keys, or unnecessary sensitive email content.

We’ll reply by email, but we don’t promise a fixed response time, delivery service level, or compensation. For issues involving orders, offer eligibility, or payments, contact the relevant store as well. For information about how we handle personal data, read our Privacy Notice.
