As I was listening to the FT news podcast in bed this morning and pondering strategies for how I might avoid getting out of bed at all today, I was jolted out of my partially comatose state by the mention of this offer for 50% off a standard digital subscription to the newspaper.
The FT is generally not a cheap subscription as far as newspapers go, but for my money it's probably the best in the business. Especially if you're interested in world affairs and/or economic matters. The comments sections of the articles are often surprisingly worthwhile too, if you're so inclined.
The going rate for a standard digital subscription is usually $399 per year, so $199 per year is about half off (which in these parts is considered a good starting point for discussions). It's the same price as their student subscription. Those of us who were recently ignominiously booted out of our long-held Fairfax student subscriptions will appreciate the distinction.
So anyway, just throwing this out there. Not sure what the sentiment here is for paying for news subscriptions, but if you have the time and inclination to enjoy quality journalism I reckon you can't go wrong with this.
Hopefully we'll soon be seeing JV's hot take on geopolitical and economic developments in the comments section of the articles :)
Stack it with Amex deal.
