My fitbit Charge won't hold a charge -- anyone else? Did you get a replacement, or just give up?

I was very happy with my Charge until three days ago. It was so motivating!
But now, the battery no longer holds a charge for more than about 8 hours. I have followed all the suggestions on the website -- I use the correct charging device, I cleaned my fitbit, I reset it several times. It still quits on me by about 3:00 each afternoon.
It used to go 4 - 5 days on one charge.
That was a lot of money to spend for something that worked properly for only one month.
My question: how many of you have this issue? Did fitbit replace your Charge? Have you had problems with your new device? Should I just return it? I don't want to deal with the hassle of returning it if the new one will also be defective.

I've had that issue with my Surge. Contacted customer service and they remotely could see there was a problem somehow by looking through my account, so they sent a replacement.0

Thanks! That'll be my next step. I really liked it and would like to continue using it, but feel kind of ripped off at the moment.0

I have had to replace two of my Fitbit devices because they stopped holding a charge. I bought mine at Best Buy and had the extra warranty so it was easy to exchange it for free. Fitbit will help you if it is still under their 1 year coverage. Their customer service is very good.0
