Update 11/17/23 - Subscribe to WSJ's digital version for only $0.50 per week via this link.  This is the best offer we've seen. Not sure how long it will be around.  Below is the $4 per month promo link if it's gone.

Updated $4/month subscription link here.   If there's a $4/month WSJ ad showing on this page/site, we receive compensation for subscriptions purchased...Thank you if you use those ads to subscribe!

 

The Wall Street Journal has been offering $4 digital subscription deals periodically over the past few months.

The deals provide a 12-month Wall Street Journal All Access Digital subscription for only $4 per month – $48 for the year.

Which is a really good deal on a digital subscription to a quality news source.

Now we’re seeing the $4 per month for 1 year deal reappear for Presidents Day 2021.

If you’re not familiar with The Wall Street Journal, it’s one of the few news sources left that actually reports the news in a balanced manner.

Yes, its Editorial Page leans conservative, but the actual news reporting is about as even minded as you’ll find.

 

And contrary to its name, investing news and information is only part of what the Journal provides.

It covers a variety of topics from economics to politics to business – both big and small – as well as personal finance and even personal interest areas such as book reviews, recipes and much more.

And for only $48 for the year, this subscription deal is a steal.

It’s for a limited time only…likely through Presidents Day, February 15, 2021…so if you’re interested, I’d jump on this deal during this upcoming week.

You can cancel anytime during the 12-month period.

You’ll definitely want to call prior to month 13 since the monthly charge will rise significantly.

You can contact Customer Service at 1-(800)-JOURNAL (568-7625) or 609-514-0870. They, unfortunately, do not accept cancellations by mail, email, or by any other means for most subscribers. Although, I’ve heard California requires an online cancellation option to be available…can’t confirm, though.

You may be able to get a deal during that call, although, it seems lower-priced subscription offers to the Journal only come once a subscription is cancelled.

Below is the subscription deal link. Just note, this deal is only for the All Access Digital subscription. The other subscription options are priced much higher.

STUDENT SUBSCRIPTION DEALS

There are two deals for student subscriptions, as well.

The monthly student subscription offers a $4 per month price-point but keeps that price for as long as you’re a student.

 

And there’s an annual student subscription offer that prices at $24 for the first year and $4 per month as long as you’re a student.

Again, both of these student subscription offers are for the All Access Digital subscription…no paper deliveries.

You will need to verify your student status to be eligible for these subscription deals.

You can view the deals and subscribe at the link below.

OTHER WSJ SUBSCRIPTION DEALS

I always like to add this information to any Wall Street Journal subscription deal I publish.

I would opt for the subscription deals above, but if those are no longer available, these may be an option.

Airline Shopping Portals

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 500 AAdvantage miles

United Airlines – $12 for a 12 week subscription and 250 MileagePlus miles

Delta Air Lines – $12 for a 12 weeks subscription and 300 SkyMiles

Southwest – $12 for a 12 weeks subscription and 350 Rapid Rewards points

Alaska Airlines – $12 for a 12 week subscription and 350 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.

Mags for Miles

Another route to go is to use airline miles for a free subscription from Mags for Miles.

Unfortunately, I haven’t seen The Wall Street Journal on Mags for Miles in a while now. It may have been removed permanently. But, it’s still worth checking.

The miles listed for a subscription are from the last time the paper was available on Mags for Miles – March 2020.

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.

*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 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

The Wall Street Journal is offering some fantastic subscription deals right now.

Both regular and student subscriptions to the digital version can be had for a greatly reduced price – $4 per month!

Which is an incredible deal for a quality newspaper.

More and more, finding reliable news sources is becoming a challenge. Luckily, The Wall Street Journal remains, and is one of the few options from which you can read the latest news confident you’re getting facts and not spin.

If you’re okay with a digital subscription, I’d jump on these deals fast before they end.

Please share this deal so others can benefit from this great subscription deal to a quality newspaper.
