The Economist retention offer

[FlyAlway]

Hi Guys,

The Economist keeps ringing me as I haven’t renewed my subscription.

Has anyone got a good retention offer from them?

[BuildBackBetter]

The best offer from them was 50% off the retail rate (£189 per annum).

Also got 50% off via chat when trying to cancel

Third, I also recently renewed at 50% off the full advertised price.

What I find particularly odd is that this makes the multi-year subscription deals (2-year or 3-year) poor value too.

Hi, so you got 50% off the £189 digital subscription. That’s very good!

[alig4th]

So I suppose the question here is which is the better deal for you;
50% off subscription: £189-£94.50 = £94.50
Avios offer: £189-£60 = £129 + 15,000 Avios
