When I attempt to upgrade to the Strava + Runner subscription I get a 'There was an error saving your changes. Please try again.' error after I click 'Confirm and purchase'. 

I have tried in different browsers (so eliminating cache/cookies) and do not have an active Runna subscription (I deleted a one-week trial last week) or account (deleted the Runna account altogether today).

Thanks ​@Jana_S.

I only raised it on here to see if other Strava users had experienced similar and could give a steer on a solution.

The cause was apparetnly with the payment method that was in place for my Strava subscription (should anyone else have the same issue). I couldn’t actually find an issue with the PayPal setup as the card behind it was my regular debit card. 

To resolve, I just changed the payment method to be the debit card directly, removing PayPal, and the transaction for the upgrade went through.

Regards,

Hi ​@Sean_McAndrew, you’ll need to wait for Support to handle that for you. This community hub is a discussion forum of Strava users like yourself, unfortunately we can't help with subscription issues.
