These offers don't work in Hawaii. I got a nice note saying there wouldn't be any newspaper coming, but didn't get my miles back.

Call United CS...I'm sure they'll give you your miles back.

Used orphan miles prior to expiration for a an annual subscription. Worked out well.

just received a united orphan miles.. for wsj

great deal...

was waiting for one!!

Thanks for posting the link. Worked great!

Not sure how or why milepoint/magazines4miles don't show the WSJ any longer on their web site, or don't show AA as a partner...

But I was pleasantly surprised today (MON, 9/12) when CALLING IN ((800) 250-3525) to learn that WSJ is still an option using AA miles (maybe others, but AA for sure). Still 64 issues for 1200 miles.

Good luck - of course YMMV

Great deal. Thanks for the post.

Glad it's back
 

We had for some time recieved WSJ using miles. Then all of a sudden it disappeared. So happy to see it back.
My wife had only a few miles left in United. She recieved a mail offer to use up her remaining miles with mag. sub. WSJ was listed.

Just got it on the AA.com website. 153 issues for 1,900 miles. ^ When 1,900 miles is worth $100, that's a good deal!!!

WSJ is available using miles from:

UA for 13 weeks for 1200 miles
CO for 153 issues (26 weeks :confused: ) for 1900 miles
DL also 153 issues for 1900 miles
NW also for 153 issues for 1900 miles

I could not locate an offer from US. These are the only FFPs I have - I don't know about the others.

You can get 153 issues for 1900 miles from HP or US via Points.com.

I bought 3 months of WSJ with my miles 5 month ago, my subscription should be expired for 2 months already but I'm still receiving the paper. :) I hope they keep sending it forever ^

You will get it for one more month, then it will stop.

I just noticed the following things about the WSJ subscriptions that are curious.

1) If you order using FF miles, 1900 FF miles is about 26 weeks for (as was stated in another post) about 100 dollars in value.
2) If you order using cash (via the FF programs "earn" sites), is maybe about the same. As an example - with NW, you can earn 22 miles/dollar, but a 52 week subscription is 215 dollars.
3) If you go directly to the WSJ website, you can get a subscription for 59 dollars for 26 weeks or for 99 dollars for 52 weeks.

So the "free/bonus" FF miles being offered cost about twice as much (or more) as you have to spend! :eek:

is there any way to get a deal on the WSJ Online?

thanks.

DL doesn't seem to have the WSJ listed on their web site any longer, nor does American. However, if you use the voice response system at the 800 number, you can still subscribe.

Waited my 10 weeks, as requested in my confirmation email.

Called yesterday. The magazine/newspaper company said they never received the order from AA. So they took it over the phone.

I will only call it in from now on.

If the miles haven't been deducted from your account yet, the order hasn't been sent to the magazine company. Call 1-800-961-8669. Also, the WSJ is still not listed on the AA website, but still available over the phone.

For those with no AA miles
 

Last night, after I posted, I wondered how many people didn't have any AA miles and wanted a subscription.

Here's a link that will turn a Lincoln test drive into 2500 AA miles. Therefore, a Lincoln test drive equals 1/2 year subscription to the WSJ and 600 AA miles.

Vaild until 5/19/2006.

I have 2 currently valid Delta Airlines - Wall Street Journal offers in the Newspapers and Magazines section of the Buying Stuff page of my website below.

You'd have to give me the Lincoln to compensate for enduring the sales pitch before, during and after the test drive.

Several of us have gone to the dealership and asked to test drive the car so the salesman can fill out the form. We have been asked, "Are you interested in buying a car?" We've said no and the salesman has offered to just sign the form and not waste anyone's time, including his own. Plus, the offer is now 5,000 AA miles, so you can get a subscription for a friend as well . See gleff's blog for details.

That's so smart for all involved. It's refreshing to see that a bunch of guys can set aside the egos and make the best move under the circumstances.

I didn't try the phone number, but the Delta link led to a bunch of magazines (none of which was WSJ), and the Milepoint link doesn't have WSJ either.

What is the second valid DL - WSJ offer?

I was referring to the first two offers I list for earning miles for paying money to subscribe to the WSJ. The are both still valid.

I was hoping to use some stranded US miles of mine to extend my WSJ subscription, though it now appears that The Journal is missing from milepoint.com (http://www.milepoint.com/mall/magazine.asp)

Does anyone know of any other routes to get this done, other than through them?

Thanks!

I used 1900 miles from US on Points.com on 2/06/06 for 253 issues of WSJ.
Have yet to receive. They suggest calling 800 250 3525 for questions. Why not try that number?

Any similar deals for earning and redeeming miles for The New York Times?

Which offer is best?
 

I might be off on my facts, but from what I am seeing here, these three options are accurate:


1) The best "magazines for miles" offer out there for a year print subscription is 3800 miles. If so, valuing miles at 2 cents each, it would cost $76/year... very good deal indeed. (If you value your miles less than that, you could reason that it is costing less, but most of us are able to milk 2 cents or more in value out of our miles by various means.)

2) You can buy a year print subscription AND online subscription PLUS 4 extra weeks for $99 directly from their site. If you use a credit card to buy this, you can get an effective price of $97 or so, accounting for the value of the miles you earn from your card company. (See https://services.wsj.com/Gryphon/jsp...jsp?page=11222 )

3) You may also buy a year print subscription PLUS 2 extra weeks for $79, or about $77 after valuing miles you could earn by using your credit card.


Comparing these three options, I see $77 for 54 print weeks (option 3) and $97 for 56 print weeks and one year online (option 2) as better deals than $76 for 52 weeks (option 1). Am I nuts, or am I missing something here?

Edited...I found my answer!

Option #3 and #2 are both available directly from WSJ.com - just click Subscribe and see what they offer.

My point is that unless you value miles for less than 2 cents per mile, using miles gives you an inferior deal to buying directly from them.
