My subscription is through apple and it worked for me. I clicked the link on my PC, not my phone. Did you try that?
yes, tried on my mac through safari
Worked with my iphone
mine definitely doesn’t work always asking me to cancel or to manage my subscription through itunes 
tried all sort of different combinations
FYI - Strava premium gives you access to the app FATMAP, which is absolutely fantastic for route planning. It’s basically a phone version of Google earth but with access to much more to trails, routes, etc. I use it frequently for backcountry skiing.

What’s the best deal currently going for a D1 2x Red group? Bikecloset? Hoping for another price drop on the 15th but Bikecloset price actually went UP last week.
Text them and ask for the old price, they often will just change the price on the site for people if they ask.

Well, this is the kind of info I need. Thanks!

It’s been going up and down (perhaps even daily) the last few weeks on the site.

I sent a text to them this evening, will see what they say. I was hoping for closer to 1K for the kit, but it went from $1299 to $1499. BTD had a daily deal at like $1200ish a couple days ago, but that sold out pretty quick.
I think it will hit 1K after the announcement too. It feels like it will be like Force last year.
If I want to build a new road bike NEXT summer, would it be a better idea to try to buy a Red groupset with one of these sales, before the new one comes out, to get the best possible price? Or would you generally advise waiting until Black Friday or something and getting the new groupset, even if I end up paying a little more?
This will only be my third bike and I’ve only been cycling a few years, so I don’t know how big the generational improvements generally are when they come out with all-new stuff like this new groupset. And I definitely want 12-speed 2x road SRAM AXS, either Red or Force (and how big is THAT difference?).
Pardon the slight cluelessness. 
Just depends upon what you want - do you want to pay top dollar for the latest and greatest or do you want to score a deal on some great equipment?
I’m very interested to see what the new SRAM red release will offer but the current generation Red and Force are already very good.
For my money I couldn’t see myself buying Red over Force unless the price difference was truly marginal.

I’m a “bang for the buck” guy. I can afford Red. But if the quality/functionality difference is a lot smaller than the price difference and Force is a much better value, I’ll happily buy Force. I care about results, not looks or fancy. I drive a BMW, not a Ferrari. I’m also a recreational cyclist, so I don’t need anything in particular, though I’m happy if better equipment helps me be faster and/or more comfortable.
I just literally am not clear on how big a difference there is between product lines (though I can research that pretty easily) or how big the generational changes are when they introduce new versions (which I’m not sure how to research effectively).
I’m very much like you. From what I understand, the new Force is clearly better unless you are focusing on weight. Then Red. But much of the weight advantage that Red has is in the crankset which you can just buy separately.
I’m not a SRAM user myself or I’d go more into the details but I was wondering similar things and read up.

Edit: Sorry, this might be taking the thread off topic. Hoping for some more Red deals!
To be honest, all of the new AXS stuff is solid. My gravel bike is a mishmash of rival, force and Red. Rival shifters, force crankset, red XPLR derailleur and chain. It’s mismatched because I was trying to hit a budget on the build and I pieced it together using sales as they presented. I got it for a shockingly low price and I was able build a pretty light (8.5kg) bike for very little money all things considered. All of the AXS stuff works well together.
My desire for a full Red kit is for my road bike. An SLR Project one so I want the lightest kit I can afford.
All that to say, for functionality Force/Red is pretty interchangeable. Weight is the main differentiating factor. Rival has a couple other things that differentiate it. The mech doesn’t get the hydraulic clutch and there’s no ports for blips on the shifters.
No one really knows what to expect with D2 Red. We can look to D1 vs D2 Rival and Force for a hint at new hood shape and a refreshed look. Other than that, we’ll have to wait and see.

2021 I had the older gen1 Force AXS. It was fine except the cassette was noisy. They made some changes to that, still gen1, and much better. I had issues with that bike and returned it. Bought a Tarmac with Rival and perfectly fine. Replaced the crank with Red to drop some weight and get the Quarq power meter. Have a 10-36 Force cassette and it’s perfectly fine. No noise, no drama, crisp shifting, yada yada

I’ve seen the new Red shifters. It definitely has the look of the Force D2.
