Long time Sufferlandrian (mp4 era). Used the code to get Zwift after Wahoo killed RGT. Was anticipating that Zwift would tell me that my free Wahoo term was done and that I’d be on the monthly plan. Nope. Logged in to find that I’ve paid for two months of Zwift subsequent to the RGT free period. Paused Zwift for 8 weeks (maximum) and added a note in Outlook. BUT - what about the rest of the Sufferlandrians that used the RGT-to-Zwift code 14 months ago? Pay attention - you might be giving away a monthly sub to Zwift with no notice. Shameful.

Happened to me after my 3 months were up. I stayed for 3 more then cancelled. Haven’t missed it. Been using SYSTM and IndieVelo.

I’m thankful I caught mine just before it automatically renewed and charged me. I ALSO did not have a legitimate card on file with them, since I used a Virtual number to begin with, and had already had reason to end that one and create another. If you have that option with your card company, it’s a good way to safeguard such types of recurring charges. Cancel the Virtual # from time to time, create new one, and then companies like ZWIFT that fail to notify you (which in my book makes them unprofessional and untrustworthy) will be forced to contact you when the renewal charge fails.
Yes, they MAY cancel your subscription, but that’s not likely, IMO. They WANT your money, one way or the other.
I totally had the impression in my mind that mine would run out in December, but something a fellow rider told me about her subsc. having ended made me go back and check into it. I rarely used ZWIFT anyway, so it would have really been grievous to have paid for something I never asked for and didn’t care for to begin with. Z won’t see my money ever; it’s not even a consideration to subscribe again.

I had the opposite problem - I decided to extend with Zwift, and set up an annual subscription 6 weeks before the trial was going to end (planning ahead!) and it terminated the trial early to start the annual subscription! I contacted Zwift who solved it (applying additional free trial tokens for one month + 5x3 days). But with the hubbub around IndieVelo and more advertising around Rouvy and its improvements, I probably won’t actually do the Zwift subscription when my trial ends in a week or two. I might add a month to finish this ZRL round but I don’t see myself missing Zwift.
