Our Verdict
They sometimes have deals where you can sign up for 12 weeks for $12 and get 2,000/3,000 miles. This current offer is better suited to people that actually want the economist and not just the points. If you’re only interested in the points I wouldn’t be doing this deal, certainly at this time. As always remember to cancel before the year is up otherwise you’ll be charged for another year.
Hat tip to FM
The question isn’t whether you think the Economist is worth the price, but rather if you think Avios are worth 1.25 cents ea.
tbh, it’s not worth a hassle. You can get the economist for free on Telegram.
It’s free via libraries. A app called Rbdigital.
