BTW: If you get WSJ using UA, the "special offer" is 1 year for $99, but if you get WSJ using AGR, the "special offer" is 1 year for $79!
I don't know your location, but if I may guess it may be due to 1) you're in AK or HI (WSJ is only available in the continental US) or 2) there are no printing plants near you (so they can not get "today's" edition to you timely).
I don't know about AA. That is one of the FFPs that I don't belong to.
OK, I think you are talking about paying $$$ for the subscriptions and getting miles/points for doing so.
ajlee7 wanted to know about using miles for the subscription, which I think a much better option. The number of miles/points to be gained by subscribing is pretty small.
