What's the fastest way to contact Fitbit?

Live chat on their site. It's almost always quicker than waiting on hold on the phone.

How do I file a complaint about Fitbit?

You'll probably have to start with their regular support chat or phone line and ask to escalate the issue to a supervisor. Don't expect a simple "complaint department" email, because I've never found one that gets a real response. It's a process.

Where can I find my account detail number for Fitbit?

Fitbit doesn't really use an "account number." They identify you by the email address you used to sign up. Just have that ready.

How long does it take for Fitbit to get back to me?

Phone or chat is instant, if you can get through the queue. Their email support, which is really just a web form, feels like sending a message into the void. Expect to wait a day or two, maybe more if you're unlucky.

What's the quickest way to cancel a subscription with Fitbit?

Do it yourself through the app store you used to subscribe! Seriously. Go to your Google Play or Apple ID subscriptions page. Trying to cancel through Fitbit support directly is a nightmare, especially if you're close to the renewal date and the agent I got once seemed confused about whether I bought it on their site or through Apple.

How do I raise a complaint to Fitbit?

This is the same as filing one. Get on the phone. Be polite but firm, and say the magic words: "I need to speak with a supervisor." You have to push past the first level of support. It's the only way.

Why won't my Fitbit sync after an update?

Ah, the classic post-update sync failure. It happens all the time. Before you even think about contacting support, try the full ritual: turn your phone's Bluetooth off and on, restart your Fitbit by holding the button, and then restart your phone completely. I swear this fixes it 90% of the time, saving you a 30-minute chat session where they just tell you to do the exact same thing.
