Rather than letting your expiration date pass and continue to receive the paper for several months, you have another interesting option: put delivery on hold until the end of next year. Why do this? It keeps your account active, so that you have access to the 7-day search function at services.wsj.com, which allows you to retrieve all articles (typically up to 6 weeks old) by key word.

I save a LOT of time by doing a few keyword searches and picking up articles of interest rather than wading through the entire paper. Naturally, you miss fun items that you didn't search for. For that, you can use the default search, which pulls up the most recent articles, a list which changes several times per day. If you manually change the URL for the default search (the one that ends with &maxitems=30&bool_query=*) to end with &maxitems=999&bool_query=* , you will get several days' worth of article headlines to browse.
