Our Verdict

We just posted about a similar WSJ deal, but that required a $12/12 week subscription. This deal is better as you only need to pay $1. Just keep in mind your subscription needs to stay active for at least 45 days and you need to cancel before the 8 week period ends otherwise you will be automatically enrolled in a monthly plan. Pretty sure you can only cancel by phone and it’s not the easiest subscription to cancel. Please make sure you set a reminder to cancel to avoid the ongoing fees unless you actually want the subscription (in which case I’d look for a better deal first) otherwise they win. These bonuses are higher than what we’ve seen on Barron’s previously as well.
