How long does it take for updates to my billing information to take effect?

After you have updated your billing information, Yahoo! will authorize your credit card for the amount of the past-due invoice. Once the card is authorized, your account should become active within one hour.

  • You will no longer see the alert messages in your Business Control Panel (also known as the "Manage My Services" page).
  • You will no longer receive past-due email messages.

If you wish to confirm payment, you will need to check your billing history 24 hours after updating your billing information.

To check your payment history:

  1. Sign in to your account at http://billing.yahoo.com.
  2. You will be able to see the status (Active or Past Due) of a service on the Summary page.
  3. Click the "Your Payment History" link to see settled transactions.

If you continue to see alert messages more than one hour after updating your billing information, or if messages appear in your account days later, please contact customer care.

Note: If your account was suspended, it can take up to 24 hours for your DNS (domain name server) information to be updated and propagated across the Internet, during which time your domain will not be available and you will not be able to receive email. Learn more.
