Joining Surfline Premium
If you haven’t tried Premium before, you are eligible for a 7-day free trial of the annual plan. Follow the link below.
surfline.com/upgrade
1. Choose your billing term. In the screenshot below, I can see I am not eligible for a free trial. Other subscription plans are noted below, but they may not offer different billing terms. Likewise, if you have a discount code, there is a button at the bottom of the page - again, you likely won't have billing term options.
2. Enter card information and review order. You'll then be taken to our third-party billing system, Stripe, for this. If there is any issue with currency shown, contact support@surfline.com. Any error after hitting Pay and Subscribe will likely need to be discussed with your bank or card provider.
3. You'll be taken through a setup/onboarding process. After you hit Get Started, you can find a Skip button in the top right corner of the slides.
