- Through newspaper-miles for 39 weeks (M-Sa delivery) for 2900 miles
A couple of questions for the experts. First, isn't a standard print subscription Monday-Saturday now (with the WeekendJournal on Saturdays)? Would the M-F be mistake? Second, does anyone know if either include the online edition as well or if this is truly JUST the print edition?
The WSJ still offers the M-F print option because many subscribers are businesses who are inconvenienced by a copy delivered on Saturday, or who are paying for subscriptions for their personnel at work on an M-F basis. (As an option, the WSJ does permit the Saturday edition to be delivered to a different address, but not everyone chooses that -- or has time to read it on their weekends!)
The newspaper-miles version is definitely the print edition only. Maybe three years ago, they offered me a free upgrade to the online edition from the print one, but that hasn't happened the last few redenotuibs,
