Q:
I applied Online but did not receive an email confirmation. What should I do?
A:
Email confirmations are generally sent within a few minutes of application submission,
however in many cases it may take longer for delivery. If you haven't received your
email confirmation 1 hour after applying you should first check your SPAM or
Junk Mail folder as some Internet service providers,
especially smaller providers, employ browsers or other utilities which may erroneously
identify your confirmation email as SPAM and block its delivery. Using an email account
from a popular provider such as MSN, Yahoo, Hotmail or Gmail normally prevents blockages that
may occur with smaller providers. If you haven't received your confirmation email after 24 hours or
require assistance in changing your registered email address, please contact our customer service department at 1-888-378-9766 by
having tracking number ready or by email at advanceautoparts@help.4myrebate.com. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
