Our Verdicts
Not as good as the previous deal that ended up working on the cheaper subscriptions. That will almost certainly never come back as it was never supposed to work according to Motley Fool.

Personally, I wouldn’t trust anything that Motley Fool writes. They show up in my news feed and are always the most click-bait sketchy site.
There’s no connect between the free website and the premium services. The free site is like any other free news sites, clickbaits like “Here’s what to put your $10,000 in NOW”. Their premium service is an absolute steal and a brilliant education tool and community resource for any investor. Have been a subscriber for years and will continue.
My son wanted to try this service out recently and I signed up for $99 dollars. Shortly after he told me he got an offer on his trial for $49. We tried it, cancelled, got refunded and shortly after I got the $49 dollar offer in my inbox. I have to say when we cancelled (30 day money back) that we were refunded almost immediately. To me the service wasn’t even worth $49 dollars but maybe you can get the miles and then cancel before the 30 day money back period ends?
If you use a long-term focused investing newsletter service for less than 30 days, it definitely isn’t worth the cost. It’s not meant for short-term use. To get the most out of a long-term focused investing newsletter, you need to give it more than the 30-day money back window of time.
Also, you won’t get a refund if you signup a second time and cancel a second time. You used to be able to do that (they used to be more lenient about their refund policy), but people abused it and signed up and requested a refund multiple time. So now there is a one refund lifetime limit (unless otherwise stated). Instead (after the first refund) you would be able to receive a pro-rated credit for a different Fool service.
I suppose you could signup with a different email and different credit card to get around the lifetime limit. But they wouldn’t have to refund you if they somehow determine that you were already a member and already received a refund previously.
So, basically not a freebie or MM.
I’ve seen this offer a bunch of times but every time I visit the page the subscription is $200, not $100
No giftcards, no care. lol.
Is this easy to quit or prevent from auto-renewing?
So it’s basically $99 for 5400 Alaskan Miles? I need more Alaskan than American right now.
