Is USA Today subscription available for miles?
 

I received a free USA Today subscription from a post in SPAM. I'd now like to subscribe. Does any airline offer a subscription for miles? I've checked UA, where it appears to be available for $79 plus 2000 miles for a year. It is not on the AA list of periodicals. Any other thoughts?

Hi,
I saw a link on here about 1 month ago that said you could get USA today for 2000 miles and no cost. Also listed LA times and a few other papers for miles all on UA
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Robert

As best I can tell, the United offer is a cash plus miles deal. From their website:

Regular Price Discount % Price per week Miles Redeemed Your Total*
52 weeks
$195.00 60% $1.50 2000 Miles $78.00


So I'd be paying $78 plus 2000 miles. Now, despite that claiming that USA Today is normally $195 for an annual subscription, when I checked their website, it is $119/year. The 2000 miles gives a $40 discount - a reasonable use of miles, but I've got sufficient miles I'd prefer to find an offer that makes it completely free.

Hi agian,
I tried to do a search but it wasn't working for me with my connection right now however, I think the posting was on the Spam site.
Try that, if your search is working on flyertalk.

PS did you see my report on Romania, something differnt for you.

Robert, I missed that - I'll have to go in search of it on Trip Reports. Sounds fascinating. You are doing some intriguing destinations!

I renewed mine via Hilton Honors. It takes a couple of months for the points to post. I sent an email after about 10 weeks and they then posted the 5,000 points quickly after that.

It's on their website under Earning Points, however here are the details:

To subscribe, please call 1-800-USA-4229 and request Key Code 622.

USA TODAY Subscription
HHonors Member Price HHonors Bonus Points

1 Year $119.00 5,000 Points
6 Month $71.50 2,000 Points
3 Month $34.00 1,000 Points

Ahhh, I posted in a confusing way. I'd like to SPEND miles for a free subscription rather than pay money and earn miles.

It is confusing but get onto the page below and you have a chance to pay for it or redeem miles for it. Just make sure you click on redeem miles.

On that site, USA Today requires paying money in addition to the miles. (Original poster wants USA Today without paying money.)

Im still receiving my free USA Today subscription even though it was supposed to have stopped. Any idea how long this might last???

I had a promotion for 3 months free and I got the paper for another 2-3 weeks after that.

Now I am getting it for a full year from another promotion for free.

oooh, is that year-long promotion still available?;)
