I've been seeing this quite a bit in recent months.
I recently picked up a closeout that had an expiry date of 2025.
When it was delivered, the expiry date remained the same.
I thought this was very odd. I paid the renewal, the expiry date should have been 2026, but they didn't apply it.
I actually had to request a refund for the renewal that was paid.
I couldn't believe it.
That being said, when you see something like this and the domain is delivered, make sure you check whether or not they applied the renewal. If not, request the renewal be refunded.
