so has anyone cancelled yet? My next payment is due 3/29/14, I plan on cancelling it, or I might suspend it and then cancelling.

I have 100k+ ur points so its not possible for me to transfer them out and leave my account at 0 just for 2k UR points.

I assume you did not get that mind blowing offer, cause I didnt.

no offer, but I cancelled the auto renew and got a confirmation number.

Nope, no offer. This was the conversation:

Me: I would like to cancel my account.
CSR: Okay... Your account will be cancelled as of the end of the current cycle. Thank you.

At least it was easy to cancel

And as of this moment I haven't had any points reversed.

I cancelled at the end of last statement, my current statement closes in about 5 days, so we'll see what happens.

Well, I did my math wrong. I was thinking I had until tomorrow to cancel, but it's 90 days (not 3 months), so I actually had until 2 days ago.

I just cancelled, and got charged for a full month ($27). So, I basically paid $39 for 2000 pts, plus got 4 months of WSJ service.

Unfortunately, I'm just too busy to read the paper more than twice a week, so most of them get thrown away.

Just saw an WSJ subscription booth at a Laker's game. Same $12 offer but you get a Laker's hoodie or sweatshirt.

A better deal because you walk away with the hoodie rather than hoping to get your miles latter.

So far so good. No claw-back as of this statement. I transferred mine out long ago (just in case).

I let one additional month bill to my card just in case. I called today to cancel and I will retain access to the digital WSJ until May. I do enjoy WSJ, but it's not worth more than $20/month to me.
