Barron's

sma3
in Other Investing
For all WSJ and Barron's hype about efficiency and performance of capitalism, you would think that it would not take three logins ( two would not take me to Customer Center) to be told that I had to call a representative to change my credit card

I also got a VM from an unknown number telling me the old card was invalid ( It was) and asking me to call an unknown number to renew. This VM also cailmed I could renew online, which did not work.

Yo would think they would have better security

    Well, it does seem pretty secure if no one can crack it and get in.  :)

    I found Barron's & WSJ unresponsive and "sticky" in the past (difficult to cancel). Have had good luck with some of the resellers. Currently have a 1-year digital Barron's from top subscription deals. Have chosen not to link the site because it would pull up a page full of Ads. Savings may not be great. But you get a fixed term paid in full up front without automatic renewals. Works for me.

    Interesting site.
    I found this amusing...

    What Do You Get With This (LIFETIME) Wall Street Journal Subscription?

    10 years of uninterrupted, limitless, and personalized digital access for to the WSJ website.

    So .. I should subscribe in my 80s, then? lol

    ... or the WSJ expects to expire in a decade,

    ... or they are predicting the end of the financial world order as we know (knew?) it.

    It's not always about you:-)

    That sounds like an offer from Vito Corleone. Recommend people avoid the "lifetime" subscription.

    Or a contract with a demon, signed at the crossroads. Does WSJ provide total enlightenment?

    They think so but you have to pay extra for ascension.
