From now until 3PM PST, we’re running a live test of our sale page ahead of our official sale, which begins on Wednesday, December 20th. If you don’t want to wait until next week, you’ll have the next few hours to check out our sale page and upgrade to Lifetime!
If you currently have a monthly or annual subscription, the proration amount will be automatically refunded after you purchase Lifetime. You’ll be asked to pay the full sale price of USD 199.00 (+tax) and you won’t see a proration discount on the final checkout screen. Rest assured, you will receive your refund as Stripe (our payment processor) cancels your current subscription and automatically upgrades you to Lifetime. The refund will be credited to the card you used last on your recurring subscription. You’ll receive an email about the refund from Stripe as well.
Note: If you used PayPal for your active, recurring subscription but you’d like to upgrade to Lifetime with a credit card, you’ll need to email us at hello@wanikani.com for the proration refund.
While you’re in the middle of upgrading to Lifetime, we would love if you are able to check the following:
Does the page work/look okay in your browser?
If you went through with the upgrade, did it work? Did you get upgraded to Lifetime status?
If you had an active, recurring subscription before the upgrade, were you notified by email regarding your proration refund?
Here are a few of the sale page variations you can try:
Everything functioned smoothly for me on Safari. Got upgraded to Lifetime, received an E-Mail about the Lifetime-Subscription as well as the successful refund. Glad to be a Lifer!
Everything worked properly with Firefox. All page variants are correct, the upgrade was successful, all emails were sent and received, the card was changed, and the refund was issued as expected.
Was down to my last 15 free lessons and was planning on upgrading. Couldn’t be luckier to get a 100 bucks off. I upgraded on chrome and it worked great!
There are many learners who are on freemium, monthly and annual plans! If you’re interested in lifetime, I would complete the first 3 levels first before making the commitment. The actual sale starts next week!
