Long Beach, CA, – Zwift, the global online fitness platform, is proud to announce that beginning today, customers can take advantage of a new annual membership.
Delivering more value on the world’s largest virtual cycling platform, the new annual membership gives Zwifters 12 months for the price of 10, making it easy for cyclists to enjoy the benefits of Zwift year-round. The annual membership costs $149.99 + tax in the United States, £129.99 in the United Kingdom, and €149.99 in the European Union.
New members can enjoy 12 months for the price of 10 risk free with a 30-day money-back guarantee. To find our more head to zwift.com/memberships.
On this page it says $219.99AUD+applicable tax (AUD = Australian dollar)
But if I click on select for the annual plan it changes to $199.99AUD+applicable tax.
Likewise for the monthly plan. From $21.99+tax to $19.99+tax.
I clicked on the pay by paypal option and unfortunately the paypal checkout doesn’t show the actual amount either.
I clicked on the pay be credit card option and it requires entering my payment details. I’m unsure though if I enter my details and click Continue is that payment authorisation or is there another screen afterwards that will show the actual amount? I didn’t want to risk it.
Before committing to payment I’d prefer to see the actual amount being charged. None of this “amount+applicable tax” nonsense. Maybe amount+tax is fine in the USA but it’s not an acceptable form of quoting for payment in Australia (the full amount must be shown).
All in all it’s a bit unclear as to the actual amount I would have to pay (particularly when the amount goes from $219.99+tax on one page to $199.99+tax on another) for the annual subscription so I will wait until Zwift sorts itself out.
Apparently no gifting option. The account holder has to be logged on to set up the subscription.
Personally, I’m not sure the annual subscription will work for me as I skip 4-5 months per year (maybe using the free 25km a couple of times), but then I’m really not expecting Zwift to offer a 30% cheaper annual subscription. So, between 30% and the current 17% offer it becomes a matter of convenience.
@Cris_To Per our FAQ: Q: Can I buy a Zwift membership for someone else?
A: You cannot purchase a Zwift membership on behalf of another member. The Zwift account that is logged in at the time of purchase will be the account that receives the membership.

Thank you for flagging that. It’s a known glitch affecting the Australia and Japan pages that we’re already working on.
@d_sc
You can not pay for future years in advance. You will be charged when your next annual billing cycle is due for renewal. Monthly subscriptions work the same way in that regard.
I want to go over to an annual membership but currently pay by direct debit. When I try to switch there doesn’t seem to be an option for direct debit, there only appears to be credit card or paypal options. Am I missing something?
