United is offering 1,000 United miles when you purchase a two-month Wall Street Journal subscription for $1
The Fine Print
The trial subscription purchase must be made between March 5, 2018 at 12:01am Eastern Time through 11:59 pm Eastern Time on March 9, 2018 and must remain active (i.e., may not be cancelled) for at least 45 days.
There are no refunds of the $1.00 trial subscription fee.
If the Member does not cancel the trial subscription by the end of the two month trial subscription period, Member’s subscription will automatically convert to a monthly subscription, and Member’s credit card will be charged based on the terms found on the WSJ offer page.
Offer is limited to one (1) trial subscription per United MileagePlus account number.
Please see the MileagePlus Shopping mall site for details on product eligibility and/or any coupon code details or other usage restrictions.
Key aspect with this offer is that you can’t cancel within the first 45 days otherwise you won’t get the points. You need to cancel before the free trial ends otherwise you will be automatically billed at the monthly rate. So make sure you set yourself a reminder to cancel on day 46 if you’re not interested in the subscription and just want the points. They are betting on the fact that most people will forget, so don’t be a sucker. These offers come around on a semi frequent basis.
