Why is my phone switching to America location?

I'm trying to buy something. Since people usually ask what - it's a Zwift membership.
I'm on my phone, opened topcashback & gone that way in the hope I get the 4% but if I don't then I don't.
Go to the membership & it shows GBP but instantly flashes to USD.
I go back to the top, select UK as location & then the membership page quickly flashes up GBP pricing but then back to USD.
I'm not connected via a VPN. Just my regular home WiFi.
I've noticed this before at times when I've searched for things & it brings up American based results. Very annoying.

Likely to be the way that Zwift are interpreting your IP address.
Quick fix might be to use mobile data on your phone rather than your broadband.2 -
