Strava should enable gift subscriptions again

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 want to gift the Family subscription to my family, while I would stay with the free plan (I'm not very sporty, unlike them). Please, dear Strava, make this option available to us!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Is there any update on this? Soren said they hoped to have this going in 2023?

I wanted to give my son a year's subscription for his birthday.

About the same thing here. Friend om mine just started riding witharig power meter. Love the Idea of giving him a 1,3,6 month subscription to let him get the most out of his power metrics

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.
