OT: Hartford Courant subscription cancelation rate

[BRS24]

Hey y'all - I was going thru my offseason subscriptions and was going to cancel the Courant for the summer, since I'm no longer a CT resident, and read it mostly for UConn sports stuff. It offered me a rate of $6.50 for 26 weeks. FYI.

I've been offered that rate as well.

Not to worry it will go back up .... I started at about that rate years ago and as it kept creeping up I ended up with a Sunday only with digital upwards to 100.00 every 8 weeks which somehow was geting billed at six week intervals. After much back and forth I finally got it cancelled (you have to call to cancel and it takes forever to get them to actually cancel). And then 10 weeks later I got a bill from a collection company for cancellation fees they never billed me.

P.S. I have a subscription for the Wall Street Journal daily delivery with digital cheaper than what I was paying for the Courant Sunday Only + digital.

Digital only? or paper every day?

Digital only? or paper every day?

Mine scrip is digital only.

Mine is digital only (I no longer live in CT) and have gotten the $6.50 for 26 weeks rate for a couple of years.

After many years of actual papers, we had to dump it. Getting papers late, if at all. Getting 3 days of papers at once, including the next day's paper. Crazy stuff. And yes, the price was going up every time.

I have to call them periodically; the intro rate shoots up, so I call to cancel. Then they give me the cheaper rate. It's a stupid game, but one that-- apparently-- must be played.

6.50 seems at that rate you would be over paying

 

[MilfordHusky]

I think I got $6.00 for a year, then $4.95 per week.

$6.50 for the whole 26 weeks.

same, 6/month for about 150.00 total so like a dollar a day… worth it just for the Jumbles alone, 2 a day
