Testing the Lifetime Sale live for a few hours today

Happy December!

We’re running a live test of our sale page for the next few hours so if you’ve been considering the upgrade to lifetime, now’s your chance.

From now until 2PM PST today, the Lifetime plan can be purchased for $199 USD (plus any applicable taxes) instead of $299 USD. The official sale will start next Wednesday though, so don’t worry if you miss it today.

If you currently have time remaining on your monthly or annual plan, you will automatically receive a prorated refund after you purchase lifetime. You’ll receive a second invoice email to inform you of the refund.

:warning: Note: We are not accepting gift purchase requests during this sale test. It will be available during the official sale, but today, we’re only testing our sale page.

Here are a few of the sale page variations you can check:

WARNING: The sale page is real and WILL charge your account, so don’t go through with it unless you actually want to upgrade.

While you’re in the middle of upgrading to Lifetime, it’d be very helpful if you can check the following:

  • Does the page work / look okay on your browser?
  • If you go through with upgrading from monthly or yearly, is your membership type now set to Lifetime?
  • If you were upgrading from monthly or yearly, did you get an email about your prorated refund?

Comment below with any issues you find with the sale page, send us a chat, or email hello@wanikani.com!

Just upgraded to Lifetime! I either used version 1 or 5? Can’t remember because I read them all to admire your cheeky copywriting :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: I was refunded $6.71 from my monthly membership that was paid on 12/3.

Regarding the page design—I found it a little confusing that clicking the big pink “Get Lifetime” button takes you to the Subscription page where there are no big pink buttons indicating which one will upgrade you to Lifetime.

I appreciate having a heads up for next week because I will definitely be able to get it then. :grin:

Although wanikani is not available in my native language or on Android, I’m liking it so much that I couldn’t resist. Although the taxes paid on top of the base price hurt a bit.

I saw the banner in the app and successfully made a purchase. I can also see the prorated refund receipt too.

I shall now proceed to learn as slowly as possible to maximally justify my purchase. If I finish within two years I am throwing myself out the window

Quick question:
Can I use a different card to make the upgrade and still receive the refund?
I might have to check that, but I belive the (virtual) credit card I used for the yearly sub got cancelled a couple months ago

Just got my Lifetime. I checked through the Variations. They look fine on my browser (Firefox). Thanks!

Will there be a sale on the yearly plan or only the lifetime one?
Thanks!

Yes, Yes, and yes (I got a credit memo and also a refund email, with all the breakdown taxes).

Great question! The refund will be on the previous purchase, so it would be to your old credit card, but the banks typically work it out so that the money goes into your correct account. If not, the refund will return to our account and we can figure out a different way to get you the money. Could you email us (hello@wanikani.com) with the specific info and we can look into this better? :slightly_smiling_face:

For sure! Thank you for the quick reply - I’ll upgrade on next Wednesday though, I believe the bank will sort everything on its own, but in case not, I’ll make sure to send the info over to you guys!
