Does the Fitbit Premium membership start on the date I activate my new product?

[JessicaBullis]

Hi there! I’ve been thinking about purchasing a new Fitbit for a while now and I’ve decided it’s time. I’m definitely interested in trying the free trial of Fitbit Premium, however I’m currently not actually well enough to be exercising, so I won’t be able to get the full benefits of the program. Does Fitbit Premium start as soon as you activate the new device? Or can I put it off for a month or two while I heal and activate the free trial when I am well enough to use it?

@JessicaBullis Welcome to the Fitbit Community. Glad to hear that you're thinking of acquiring a new Fitbit! 

If your Fitbit tracker/watch is purchased through Fitbit.com, it's activated upon date of purchase. However, if it's purchased elsewhere you need to activate within 60 days of pairing. 

Learn more about all the features you'll receive with your Fitbit Premium subscription. 

Have a good week. Take care.

Thank you Silvia!
