My math is $12.95/1,500 = $0.0086 / mile

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, and apologies for my ignorance.
I got $.0092, but that is because of tax ($1) in Calif.
There is no free press.. Free newspapers are taxed, and the tax is paid by the newspaper.

I hope the offer is available in another month. That way I can sign someone else up.

I guess USATODAY figures they can acquire new customers this way.
I have been boycotting them since they went from 50 cents to 75 cents.
I am doing this for only 1 reason
