    Can you buy a second hand fitbit iconic then go through the claim procedure?? Even if the Fitbit has already been recalled?

    Already took up to the recall offer. I bought the Fitbit Sense, 3 free bands, and the free 1-yr Premium subscription. The cost was $191.93, but with the $299 refund, the watch is basically free. I'm a happy camper.

      That was a quick turnaround. The website states refunds are disbursed between 3-6 weeks. In the website the price for the sense is $299.

    I have one, a year and a bit old, never had a problem but i have filled out all the things on their site and they will be issuing me a refund, actually more than what i paid for it new, literally as soon as you submit the form the ionic still works on the wrist but you can not link it up again, basically fitbit must deactivate it their end.

    Does anyone know if you have to include the wrist band with the return or just the device?

      Just the device itself. No band, no charger, no accessories whatsoever. Which is good for me because I lost my charger lol

      They sent a box UPS and you put the watch only in a special envelop and put it in a return box that's part of the packet. Hardest part about that was taking it to a UPS station. Haven't found a way to check on the refund status. No way to contact them after you finish the process. Still waiting on the refund for the extended warranty. They said I would receive a check for that in 10 days. Still waiting.

    It's impossible to get the refund, I've been trying for days.... Keeps claiming reference not working, has anyone else had this issue, it seems common. Ps based in UK

    I did the recall, they sent me official return packaging and everything. But I was never paid. Its been a long time since I sent it back to them. Wondering now if I was scammed.

      We have to just be patient I guess.

    Looks like this is a scam. I have been waiting for months for the refund. They say that they send the refund to PayPal but nothing. I have called about 6 times and nothing. The call centre gives the same answer of they will look into it.

      @@CodeDreamer68 Well, I only heard about the recall on March of this year, so I do not know how it worked by the time you apply. You should have a reference number for your case, if so you should call them and ask.
      I believe what happened is like the rebates we used to have in the past, if you don't claim and follow up the case. They will just not send the refund because they assume you forgot. I did call them once regarding my case.
