It will ask you the following question: "What’s the primary reason you decided to cancel your WHOOP membership?".		This time instead of the "REMAIN A MEMBER" button there is a red "PAUSE MEMBERSHIP" button in all caps. Just below is a "NO THANKS, STILL CANCEL" text which isn't highlighted in any color. If you click the "NO THANKS, STILL CANCEL" text the user will see the following: "Cancelling your WHOOP membership disables the ability to upload new data to your strap."

	Clicking on the "Other" button prompts you to put in a custom answer again. Then the user can click on "Next". On the next page the user is greeted by a red "CLAIM OFFER" headline and a red button that says "YES, CLAIM 10% OFF". Below that button is a non-highlighted "NO THANKS, STILL CANCEL" button. Once you click on that the new page says "CANCEL MEMBERSHIP". ~~This took~~ 11 clicks through various menus. The twelfth click will cancel the subscription and the user will be redirected to the membership page. However the website still showed the subscription as being active. I received a cancellation e-mail though. This is ambivalent and I'm not sure what Whoop is using to the determine the subscription status.
