The Offer
- Barron’s is running a special promotion to get an 8-week subscription for just $1.
- You can also go through a shopping portal and get one of the following:
- 1,000 American Airlines miles
- 500/800 United miles
- 700 Alaska miles
- 700 Southwest
- 1,000 BarclayCard RewardBoost points
Our Verdict
The portal rates are typical or slightly elevated. But only occasionally do they run the $1 offer which can work alongside the portal offers. We had a WSJ offer not long ago as well.
Be sure to mark your calendars to cancel. Note, you do have to call in to cancel everywhere outside California.
Hat tip to reader Kenneth
Man, I totally forgot to cancel this. That was an expensive mistake. 😐
Gotta make diary reminders
How long does it take for these miles to post
A while it seems. Had to escalate to support to get the miles to post.
What is the definition of “portal”? Is the American Advantage shopping site considered and the United site considered another portal?
Thanks. I did this today for the 700 Alaska.
when do these miles post?
Can you use suspend delivery trick to get free digital Barron’s for an extended period (like what was said for wsj)?
Is this repeatable across programs? That is, terms in each portal say “Offer is limited to one (1) trial subscription per loyalty account.” — but can I really take advantage of this offer in each portal? I’ve already done Barron’s in UA & SWA, do I push my luck in AA now? It’s trivial to create a new Barron’s login, but all are still backed by the same name & address (mapping to a credit card)
you can definitely do 3 portals the real question is can you do the same portal multiple times (over different periods)
I have done WSJ in the past with Acorns and then with AA and received both.
Has this worked for anyone with new email but same AA account as a prior pts promo?
When I try to create an account on Barron’s, it keeps saying my email is not an existing user, even though I’m trying to create a *new* account. Some kind of glitch.
I had that happen last time. If you signed up for WSJ, try using the same login.
how do you pay with paypal; i only see CC option.
Select digital only
