An important step you can take to make sure our emails land in your inbox is to safelist our mailing addresses. "Safelisting" means adding Going to your address book to ensure your email provider doesn't accidentally mark us as spam (so you continue to receive those sweet deals!).
Simply scroll down to find your email provider in the list below, then follow the steps provided to add all of the following email addresses to your safelist:
- hello@deals.going.com for flight deals
- hello@marketing.going.com for all travel newsletters and other promotional content
- hello@notifications.going.com and support@going.com for all important emails regarding your Going account
If instructions for your email provider do not appear in this list, you can Google "safelisting emails in [your email provider]" or contact your email provider's support team. For more information on email deliverability issues, you can view this article or contact our support team.

Safelisting our email addresses in a security program
Certain firewall and intrusion prevention security programs can interfere (or block) email from Constant Contact. If your contacts aren't receiving your emails and you already had them safelist your "From Email" address in their email client, they sometimes also have to update the safelist in their security program as well. This is less likely to affect web-based email programs, like Gmail, Yahoo, or AOL, and more likely to affect desktop-based email programs, like Outlook, Thunderbird, or AppleMail, because they sit behind the firewall for an operating system or network.
If you don't see your contact's security program listed below, you'll have to visit the support webpage for your specific security program and search for instructions to add "safe senders" to the safelist, or contact them directly.
Important: Some security programs prompt you to restart your computer to allow the changes to take effect.
