As per title. [https://www.alltrails.com AllTrails] at some point AllTrails was offering lifetime subscriptions that were discontinued in 2019 (see Business Response [https://www.bbb.org/us/ca/san-francisco/profile/travel-services/alltrails-llc-1116-943157/complaints here]).

'''AllTrails Lifetime Membership''' was discontinued after 2019 (sources [https://www.bbb.org/us/ca/san-francisco/profile/travel-services/alltrails-llc-1116-943157/complaints 1], [https://www.reddit.com/r/hiking/comments/1osqu5d/alltrails_decided_to_screw_over_their_lifetime/ 2], ). While some users purchased what was advertised as a "lifetime" subscription for $99.99, AllTrails has clarified that these were actually '''3-year subscriptions''', despite marketing claims.  Multiple Reddit users have reported confusion and frustration after their subscriptions expired, with AllTrails support confirming the 3-year duration. Users who bought a "lifetime" subscription before 2020 may have received a 3-year membership. Some have had their access extended after contacting support, but this is not guaranteed.

:Apparently all of this mess was due to VC funding, see comment here: "AllTrails has raised $151m in VC funding. They need to invent features to show they are growing. The product has been "enshittified"." (see comment [https://www.reddit.com/r/alltrails/comments/1lb091a/lifetime_membership_downgraded/ here]).
