Whoop 5.0 Upgrade Policy Update: Company Listens to Customer Feedback

Whoop recently announced its latest fitness tracker, the Whoop 5.0, along with a controversial upgrade policy that sparked backlash from customers. Initially, the company stated that users could upgrade to the new device by either extending their subscriptions by 12 months or paying a one-time fee of $49 ($79 for the model with EKG sensors).

This decision seemed to contradict Whoop’s traditional approach of offering free hardware upgrades to its members, especially considering its higher subscription prices ranging from $199 to $359 per year. The company’s website even stated that users who have been members for at least six months are eligible for free hardware upgrades.

Following customer complaints, Whoop addressed the issue in a Reddit post, announcing a revised upgrade policy and clarifying its overall strategy. Now, customers with more than 12 months remaining on their subscription can receive a free upgrade to Whoop 5.0, with the option for a refund if they already paid the fee. Those with less than 12 months left can extend their subscription to receive the upgrade at no extra cost.

While attributing these changes to customer feedback, Whoop also mentioned its shift from monthly or six-month plans to only offering 12- and 24-month subscriptions as a factor in the decision-making process.

The company admitted to an error in a previous blog post that incorrectly stated a six-month membership would guarantee a free upgrade, clarifying that this was never their policy. Despite these adjustments, opinions on the Whoop subreddit vary, with some viewing it as a positive move for the community while others remain skeptical.

Notably, there were complaints from users who narrowly missed the cutoff for the free upgrade due to having 11 months left on their subscriptions. This situation highlights the importance of clear communication and transparency in customer relations.
