We're Back, Baby: The WaniKani Lifetime Sale Starts 今 (Dec. 18, 2024 - Jan. 3, 2025)

It’s that time of year when the Crabigator descends upon us from Planet Kanji and blesses us with a once-a-年 sale! WaniKani Lifetime memberships are now $100 cheaper than usual! Time to get started on those New Year’s resolutions a bit early. The Crabigator demands it, especially if you want to join us back on Planet Kanji.

The Crabigator doesn’t grace us with its presence very often, so if you planned on getting Lifetime and you want a ride on the flying saucer, now is the time to do it. That being said, if you’re a level 1 or 2 earthling and you haven’t tried the free levels yet, don’t let the Crabigator’s durtles fool you, hold off on Lifetime. You’ll want to make sure WaniKani is working for you first. But if you’re gonna be at level 4 soon or you have a recurring subscription and want to upgrade, the Crabigator wants YOU.

The sale is on now until 9PM PST, January 3. If you already have an active monthly or annual subscription, you’ll get a proration refund automatically after you purchase lifetime.

If you have any questions, send us a chat, email us at hello@wanikani.com, or tag @Mods in this thread!

Happy Holidays and a Merry Crabsmas to all! :crab::crocodile::christmas_tree:

Will there also be the usual 50% off for the annual and monthly subscriptions ?

Welcome to WaniKani! Feel free to send us a chat or email at anytime if you’re stuck with something while studying!

Maybe! But in the past, this has typically only been for completely new users.

Start of sale: Almost 50k lifetimers :crabigator:

Looking forward to see how much it’ll grow by the end of the sale :sparkles:

Wish I could get it but I paid for my annual through a work subsidy program and refunds are a pain to deal with (and not reporting the refund could get me in trouble). If it was a direct prorated upgrade discount, it would be easier for me.

So I’m stuck on annual. Which is fine, more motivation to become proficient quickly! :running_woman:

If it’s any help:
The refund will go to the card/account that was used to purchase the annual subscription.
The discounted lifetime rate can be paid through a different card/account.
Separate invoices will be issued for each.

I’m reckless, and got it at level 1. The way I see it though if I don’t I’ll be waiting months for the next sale, and I really, really don’t like subscription models… so time to make it worth the jump!

Hi, is there a way to pay in €? Or just USD? My bank does some not so nice automatic exchange unfortunately

Edit: Well, it turned out even tax is 47$ based on my region so I guess no lifetime for me this year :smiling_face_with_tear:

Alright, Wanikani, I’ve officially joined your kanji-crab cult. I’ve did the free levels a couple of times in the past (and then deleted my account). I’ve got lifetime now so there’s no going back! Going to learn all the things and then burn all the things!

…but I am kinda slow though…it might be a while.
