Read The Wall Street Journal Online Free March 3-5, 2020
The Wall Street Journal is offering free access to its online edition March 3-5, 2020.
Whether your interest is the Super Tuesday election results, the significant economic gyrations we’re seeing as a result of the Coronavirus, or simply getting a taste of some well-researched and written journalism, this deal is for you.
You can access The Wall Street Journal online at this link.
Once your free 3-day access is finished, you can continue reading The Wall Street Journal, economically, via some regularly offered deals.
Low Priced Subscriptions and Miles
The major airline shopping portals usually have a deal where you can get a limited-time subscription for a low price. And on top of the subscription deal, you’ll earn airline miles, too.
The currently available deals are:
American Airlines – $12 for a 12 week subscription and 1,000 AAdvantage miles
United Airlines – $12 for a 12 week subscription and 500 MileagePlus miles
Delta Air Lines – $12 for a 12 weeks subscription and 600 SkyMiles
Southwest – $12 for a 12 weeks subscription and 700 Rapid Rewards points
Alaska Airlines – $12 for a 12 week subscription and 700 Mileage Plan miles
These aren’t the best airline miles bonus offers, but if your goal is a low-priced limited-time subscription rather than earning the most airline miles, this is an okay offer.
Just remember to call and cancel your subscription prior to the 12 weeks ending.
You’ll likely be offered a deal to stay a subscriber…how good of a deal, I’m not sure.
And if you cancel, you should be able to sign-up for another low-priced, limited-time subscription deal via another airline shopping portal.
Some reports even indicate the same airline shopping portal deals can be used repeatedly.
Use Airline Miles for a Free WSJ Subscription
Another route to go is to use airline miles for a free subscription from Mags for Miles.
*Mags for Miles will remove The Wall Street Journal from its offerings from time to time. If it’s gone now, check back in a few months to see if it’s become available again.
The current deals as of March 2020 are:
United MileagePlus – 304 WSJ issues for 3,200 miles or 228 issues for 2,700 miles
Delta SkyMiles – 304 WSJ issues for 3,200 miles or 228 issues for 2,700 miles
Alaska Mileage Plan – 304 WSJ issues for 3,900 miles or 228 issues for 3,300 miles
Frontier, Hawaiian and Spirit airlines also have deals available. You can search specific redemption amounts at the Mags for Miles website here.
The downside to these subscriptions is that they’re typically available to new subscribers only and they’re for actual paper delivery subscriptions only.
There have been reports of people getting a subscription through Mags for Miles and then calling The Wall Street Journal customer service telephone number to have their account number activated for the online edition as well.
There have also been reports – my own, included – where multiple calls did not result in access to the online edition.
Wrap Up
You can access The Wall Street Journal online for free now, March 3, 2020, through March 5, 2020.
And you can use the deals listed above to continue accessing The Wall Street Journal if you’re hooked once your free 3-days end.
