A bit of advice for anybody who wants to subscribe to the NYT (I'm a very happy subscriber) but might not be in the position to pay the full subscription rate - Wait for a discount offering, subscribe for the introductory period, then, when your subscription switches over to the regular rate, call and cancel, just let them know you can't afford the full price, and they'll give you a 50% discount.
- bpick 11y agoJust be ready for them to hike your rate without any type of alert after the initial period expires. This applies even to gifted subscriptions like the one I was given for Christmas. The customer service was...unsympathetic.
- dougabug 11y agoI don't have the time to jump through hoops to maintain promotional pricing for a NYT subscription. Maybe a sufficient long term discount would be attractive, or unbundling content. The NY Times just doesn't offer enough value to warrant the asking price for my tastes.
- mizzao 11y agoYep, this particular pricing structure is all about price discrimination.
