Watch out
- The membership page (onepeloton.com/mymembership) needs sign-in.
- Peloton's support site (support.onepeloton.com) loads by JavaScript; automated fetches got an error page on 2026-10-13.
- App memberships bought through a third-party app provider (Apple, Google) are billed by that provider; the Membership Terms do not say how to cancel them.
