Frequently asked questions
How are weekly and quarterly charges turned into monthly costs?
Each charge is multiplied by how many times it's paid in a year (52 weekly, 4 quarterly, 1 yearly) and divided by 12. A 4-a-week subscription is 208 a year, or about 17.33 a month, not 16.
What does cost per use tell me?
The monthly cost divided by how often you use it. A 40-a-month gym you visit 4 times costs 10 a visit; if a single pass is cheaper, the membership may not be worth it.
Are the quick-add prices accurate?
They are only examples to save typing. Prices vary by country and plan and change often, so check your statements or account pages and edit each price to what you really pay.
