Two months for one dollar, print and digital access. Miles? No idea if this will work through any portals.

Used dandeals method. Took ~3 weeks for paper to start.

No online access though.

Just to be clear, in case it isn't, you pay $1 and get 2 months of the WSJ (print only or print and online?) plus 1K of RDM (PDM?). In other words, it doesn't cost on 1K RDM from their MP account, but rather credits that amount.

Too bad, it isn't for a longer time.

I grabbed it. For the cost, well worth the trouble of cancelling in two months.

The offer now appears to be 800 miles, and you have to pay $1/week for 12 weeks, rather than $1 for a full 2 months. This text also appears briefly as United MileagePlus Shopping is redirecting you to WSJ.com:

"Only eligible on paid subscriptions. Only eligible on first month for pay by month subscriptions. Subscription must be active for at least 30 days. Eligible on one subscription per household. Not eligible on purchases made with coupon or discount codes that are not found on this site."

I'll post again if I try this.

Current United Mileage Plus Shopping deal says you can earn 250 miles for subscribing to WSJ, but after entering the offer, it says 400 miles. So, I'm not sure which it is.

$1 for 2 months trial is also available to any new subscriber directly via wsj.com.

Is anyone aware of current deals for longer term digital subscriptions? The best I see is $139.99 for 2 years from this site, but is it legit?

Got a letter in the physical mail today from WSJ which states that they are no longer accepting new subscriptions through loyalty programs. Magsforpoints website indeed does not have WSJ listed currently.

The letter also states that I can renew my subscription to print and digital (which was originally just print via Magsforpoints) for $37.25 quarterly, or $149 for 1 year. The cheapest prices I see on current WSJ subscription promo page are:

$12 for 12 weeks
$111 for 6 months
$311 for 12 months

So I may have to bite at the $149 for the year of print and digital...

Just got the student subscription for a family member attending community college full time.

$49 for a year.

I have the same renewal offer. While it sucks that you cannot use miles any more (I even checked eRewards) at least $149 is reasonable. About 4 years ago, they quoted an obscene $500 or so to renew. About 10 years ago the student subscription price was $99 and now I see it's $49 for print and digital.

WSJ Subscriptions Using Points/Miles?

Has anyone else noticed that WSJ subscriptions are no longer redeemable for points or miles through various loyalty programs? I was using e-rewards points for a subscription for the past few years. If WSJ has taken itself out of "circulation", it will be a real loss! If anyone has found another method to get WSJ paper subscriptions, I would really like to know. Thanks

Not sure this is the right forum for this thread. Nonetheless, WSJ is no longer available using Spirit miles (fulfilled using magsformiles.com). My annual WSJ subscription was pretty much the only reason I keep my Spirit account active.
