Subscriptions & Rewards:

Q: How do I cancel my subscription?

A: You can pause your subscription at any time but logging into your account, navigating to Manage Subscriptions, selecting "Manage Upcoming Orders" and selecting "Pause Future Orders." You can resume your subscription at any time by selecting, "Resume Future Orders" at the top of your subscription. While your subscription is paused, you will NOT be charged for any upcoming orders. If you are still experiencing issues, please contact us through our customer service contact form

Q: I cannot log into my account even though I have a subscription; can you help? ​

A: Although you signed up for a subscription with us, you may not have set up an account yet. You will need to set up an account with us to make modifications to your current subscription. Once logged in, click "Manage Subscription" to review your options like address changes, product changes, skips, cancelations, and more. You can create an account by going to our website, clicking the profile icon in the top right of the browser, https://www.ascentprotein.com/account/register.

Q: I manually updated my subscription date. Why did I receive a notification that another order is shipping to me?

A: When an order is entered as “Order Now” ahead of the next planned subscription ship date, the upcoming order must be skipped, or it will ship out on the day it is planned for. Any date changes to a subscription order will cause a duplicate order, separate from the subscription order. Please check all your upcoming subscription dates by clicking on the "manage upcoming subscription" drop-down and refreshing your page after any changes are made.

Q: Can I combine my subscriptions/add products to my subscription?

A: Unfortunately, new products cannot be added to existing subscriptions, (only swapped out). To have more than one item on the same subscription, you will need to place a new subscription order with all your preferred items and cancel your previous separate subscription(s).​

Q: Can I use rewards points or discount codes on subscription orders?

A: Our system only allows for one discount code to be used at checkout per order, (discount codes cannot be stacked). Since subscription items are already discounted 10% plus free shipping, they are not eligible to be combined with rewards or additional discount codes. You will need to place a non-subscription order to redeem rewards discounts.

Q: How do I “swap” one product for another?

A: To change products, log into your account and go to the “Manage Subscription” page. Select the drop-down, “Product in your subscription” and click “swap products” on the right-hand side of the screen. Refresh your screen to ensure the changes you made, and the next order date is accurately displayed.

Q: What is your cancellation policy?

A: Please make changes at least 24 hours prior to the next scheduled date to avoid any unwanted orders from being processed. Your order confirmation emails have links to your order, and you can manage your subscription from there.
