Deezer’s Family Plan misleading for Fitbit users

I have been enjoying my Deezer subscription because I was able to download playlists on my Fitbit Versa and go without my phone during workouts.  My wife wanted the same experience and she has a Versa 2.  We looked at the Family Plan and thought hey, you can use this on up to six devices.  What they don’t tell you is that this does not apply to Fitbit devices and you have to have separate Deezer premium plans in order to have this option for each Fitbit device.  This is absolutely ridiculous and bad business.  Make Fitbit a part of your Family Plan and quit gouging people for money!

Hey @Dan_usmc

If you create an independant account on the Family account, your wife can log in her Versa too.

@Yula can you explain this part of the article?

  • You can only have one Deezer account linked to one Fitbit device at a time and only one Admin profile for a Deezer Family subscription (Independent accounts can log in using their separate log in details)

Hello @Dan_usmc, it means that if your wife has an independent account she can log in the fitbit.

To create a family independent account follow this link:

Hi Yula,

same potential problem here (2nd Fitbit device has not been purchased yet).

This "family independant account" means paying more? So one family subscribtion + a single one?

Hi @gutijulio … 

No, it just means that you have to use an independent account with its own login data instead of a family profile that is logging in with the same data as the admin. 
The independent account can be invited to the family account to be part of it without paying extra. If you follow the link above @Yula has posted everything is explained in detail.

Unfortunately, @Yula 's link is not accesible any more. Any idea where to find that information?

Thanks

Dear Deezer,

 

After reading that post we "took the risk" and bought a second Versa 3. We created an independent user, as explained above, with its own login. However, when trying to login in fitbit.com/deezer it is said, that the this new account does not exist. In other words, we cannot achieve to have a second fitbit device running with deezer.

 

Any solution?

@gutijulio 

Have you invited and added this new account to your family plan? It has to be part of it or has to have an own premium subscription. As a free account it won’t work with fitbit.

Thanks for the answer @Superschlumpf 

I created a nermw profile under my family plan, made it independent and then tried to log in in fitbit with this new profile. So it no a free account but one under a family plan.
