https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001685450-Gifting-a-Subscription states:
"For the time being, we have removed the option to gift a subscription to an athlete. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience."
This seems to be a really bad idea. I was just looking up how to give a gift subscription. If it isn't possible, I'll be spending my Christmas gift money elsewhere.
Strava should consider enabling gift subscriptions again and stop throwing income away.

I would really appreciate if a workaround for gifting premium subscription was availvle

Oh no! I was really looking forward to purchasing a year-long gift subscription for someone. I hope the option becomes available again in the future. Fingers crossed!

I don't understand why Strava gifting isn't available anymore? They want to charge more for subscriptions, but don't want the money? Even Steam still has this feature still available. I really wanted to gift my cycling friend a month or more of Strava as a New Year present for extra feature motivation and so she can see her "Year in Sport 2023". The one good thing I want to do in my life I cannot even do. Ridiculous.

For a company that apparently needs my money to remove this feature when it was already present is very strange. I am guessing there is some kind of technical reason for this but without a clear explanation I guess we're all in the dark.

This is the biggest reason why I cancelled my subscription.

Hello,
We appreciate your interest in this; unfortunately we are not bringing gifting back this year; it's on the back burner for now. You can continue to add your feedback and kudos to this thread; this will be reviewed by our product team.

I work in tech sector for a SaaS company. You’re literally throwing money out the window. Why wouldn’t you optimize every potential revenue stream? This is extremely shortsighted.

Please can Strava explain the reasons for this? The gift subscription system worked well, it seems difficult for many people to comprehend why it was withdrawn, and seemingly no plans to reintroduce?

You’d think for the increasing subscription rates you’d be able to fund the ability to keep gifting, along with better overall service.
