Looking back it was the Black Friday gift sale. So it may have been going through the "gift subscription" method you mentioned, but the gift was discounted to $29.99 for a year.

To each their own, I guess Personally, I'm fine with paying less in one year than I pay on one bar tab to support journalism and have access to quality content and great articles. I'd also rather pay $2 a month than have to close sixteen popups and videos any time I want an article. But again, to each their own.

It's his most endearing quality.

Does anyone know if I can cancel now and continue my 1 year of access without the risk of auto renewal? I don’t want to forget to cancel before getting hit with $60 charge. go to your account and remove the payment information. which you should actually do anyways... Edited June 19, 2019 by Foxx

The gift feature gives you 20% off a 1yr subscription, which comes out to $47.99, so I don’t think it was that unless you got an added student discount on top of that. Have any other athletic subscribers here been able to renew at a discounted rate during one of their sales?

I prefer having a site or two like the Athletic to aggregate the top local writers. The site has a good subscriber base and can afford to pay more, and it doesn't require the volume of articles that ad-driven content does, so there are a lot of focus pieces that go into great depth on a topic. If you follow multiple sports, it's not that hard to justify the cost IMO.
vanhalen26 Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 I just signed up - articles look good/well written. Its a little less in Canadian $$, that’s a nice change. We pay more for almost everything usually. Thanks for the heads up - I’ve been thinking of joining and glad I just did. Looks good.

RobbRiddick Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 I miss the days of real newspapers. It was a lot more fun reading a paper while taking a dump than a small phone screen. And you didn't get distracted by porn either! 1
