Why can't under 18-year olds purchase Monthly Pass?
Unfortunately, we can't allow our members who are under 18 years of age to subscribe to our Internet products such as Weight Watchers eTools. Unlike Weight Watchers meetings, our Internet products are not currently able to address the special nutritional requirements of those under 18. Moreover, users of those products may need to be at least 18 years old to legally enter into our Subscription Agreement. Since eTools is provided with Weight Watchers Monthly Pass, we encourage our members who are younger than 18 years old to take advantage of one of our other savings plans.
How do I sign up and pay for Weight Watchers Monthly Pass?
To sign up for Monthly Pass, you can pay for the first month at your meeting or through our website at www.weightwatchers.com/startmonthlypass. If you pay for the first month at your meeting, you will need to enter the Access Code from your Starter Voucher to complete your Sign-up on www.weightwatchers.com/startmonthlypass

Your credit card will be charged automatically each month at our monthly rate (currently $44.95) until you cancel, so there's no need make a payment when you attend a meeting. Your credit card may be charged up to 15 days prior to the end date printed on your Monthly Pass card to ensure that your next month's card arrives on time.
How is the $10.37 average weekly cost calculated?
Since months have 30 or 31 days (except February), the average month has 4.333 weeks. $44.95 divided by 4.333 is equal to $10.37.
Why do I have to complete my sign up for Monthly Pass on the WeightWatchers.com website to receive a Monthly Pass card each month?
Your Monthly Pass only becomes active after you complete the sign-up through www.weightwatchers.com/startmonthlypass. To complete your sign-up, you need to go to our website within 7 days of purchase and enter the Access Code printed on your Monthly Pass Starter Voucher. This will also enable you to print out your Monthly Pass Temporary Card, which you will need to show at any participating meeting until you first Monthly Pass card arrives in the mail.
Please note that you will be required to pay for the next meeting you attend if you do not complete the Monthly Pass sign-up on our website and show your temporary card. Remember, the sooner you complete your sign-up for Monthly Pass online through www.weightwatchers.com/startmonthlypass, the sooner you can start using Weight Watchers eTools to help you stay on track between meetings.
