There may be a variety of reasons why you aren’t notified if you receive Core Membership. If it’s given to you by another deviant, you may receive an email, but gifts can be given anonymously, and as such, their username may be excluded.

If you win Core Membership as part of an official DeviantArt contest, you will not receive a notification when you receive your Core Membership.

If you have questions or concerns with regard to your Core Membership, please contact DeviantArt Customer Support.
