Is this deal still showing up for people?
lol love the concise verdict
If I cancel immediately.. can I continue to use the trial for the 6 months?
Or clear cookies and history once the free articles run out?
Wish I could get this as an active Post subscriber. They have their biases, but they also produce some outstanding journalism.
Just keep in mind if you're an Amazon Prime member, definitely don't keep this paid subscription, as you're entitled to subscribe to the Post at a discounted rate of $3.99 a month. I think they also offer a 6 month free trial.
I didn't know about the Prime discount. Thanks for the info!
You can sign-up even if you did not receive the targeted e-mail.
Also, you can immediately cancel after signing up and the account will be valid for 6 months.
