Free 26 Week Wall Street Journal Subscription!

It takes no more than 2 weeks to start the subscription. Problem is , I prefer the web version of the paper.

Last time I checked, 26 weeks = 182 days. A month is roughly 30 days. So your this free subscription would be for 182/30 = 6.066 months.

52 Weeks would be a full year worth of issues (12 months).
26 is half of 52
Which would mean it is 6 months.
I think the poster wasnt being serious and was just joking as to why they called it 26 weeks vs. 6 months

The WSJ doesn't have supermarket coupons

you would have to get the Philly Inquirer on Sundays

Or clip them from the Public library when no one is looking.

Thanks OP!

For magazines that are published on monthly / semimonthly basis, subscription is on # of months basis.
For newspapers, that are published daily, it's always based on # of days or weeks. It's never in terms of months, since all months don't have same number of days.

Thanks OP

In for one!

Thanks OP. Green for you.

Ignore the no renewal wording. I can't even tell you how many times I've successfully renewed WSJ with these free "new subscription only" offers.

My current subscription expires in October 2013. Is it possible to renew this subscription, or to start a new subscription in October 2013, using this offer? If so, how would I do that? I'm not familiar with RewardZone...

I'm now getting two free copies simultaneously, but am afraid to contact them and end up getting nothing (the original free sub has been ongoing for 2+ years).
Have any FWers had a similar situation? Were you able to correct it without losing the subscription entirely?

To those that are receiving the WSJ, you can manage your account online. From your newspaper, get your account number which is right above your name and address. Go to: https://customercenter.wsj.com Once you register, you can start & stop your subscription, change your mailing address and check you subscription expiration date. I have had several free subscriptions and by registering this helps a bunch.

Good deal! I love the smell of the free newspaper in the morning!!!!

I remember the last time I did this and they kept sending me the paper for like 9 months straight. That plus my local paper and magazine subscriptions is reading was overload for me.

Thanks

Call them, they will fix it. I've merged many subscriptions before, they don't bat an eye.
Thanks for that info. I'll give them a call.
My issues are delivered the new/old fashioned way, with a guy tossing them off the back of a moving station wagon.
They don't have a label on them, so I'll have to get my account number from a WSJ CSR.
