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.
