A one-year subscription costs $99. The offer is to spend $99+ and get $99 back, so it's a free one-year subscription.

Get a one-time $99 statement credit after using your enrolled eligible Card to make a single subscription-based purchase of $99+ online at The Motley Fool or at fool.com/amex [fool.com] by 5/8/2021. See terms.

Quote :
Must first add offer to Card and then use same Card to redeem. Only U.S.-issued American Express® Cards are eligible. American Express Prepaid Cards, Corporate Cards and American Express Cards issued outside the United States are not eligible. Limit 1 enrolled Card per Card Member across all American Express offer channels. Your enrollment of an eligible American Express Card for this offer extends only to that Card. Offer valid only on US website or at Fool.com/amex. Valid only on purchases made in US dollars. Offer is non-transferable. Limit of 1 statement credit per Card Member. The enrolled Card account must not be cancelled or past due to receive statement credit. Any benefit earned from this offer is in addition to the rewards (i.e. Membership Rewards or cash back) earned as part of your existing Card benefits, but your ability to earn spend-based rewards for the purchase will be based on the amount after any statement credit or other discount is applied. Statement credit will appear on your billing statement within 90 days after 5/8/2021, provided that American Express receives information from the merchant about your qualifying purchase. The Motley Fool Terms and Conditions currently provide that unless you notify The Motley Fool that you want to cancel, or that you do not want to auto renew, your subscription or membership fee will automatically renew for another subscription period (subject to applicable law) of equal length (for example, monthly, or annually). This means that The Motley Fool will collect the then-applicable membership or subscription fee and any taxes by charging a credit card The Motley Fool has on record for you without notifying you, unless notification is required by applicable law. Note that American Express may not receive information about your qualifying purchase from merchant until all items from your qualifying purchase have been provided/shipped by merchant. Statement credit may be reversed if qualifying purchase is returned/cancelled. If American Express does not receive information that identifies your transaction as qualifying for the offer, you will not receive the statement credit. For example, your transaction will not qualify if it is not made directly with the merchant. In addition, in most cases, you may not receive the statement credit if your transaction is made with an electronic wallet or through a third party or if the merchant uses a mobile or wireless card reader to process it. By adding an offer to a Card, you agree that American Express may send you communications about the offer.

Send an email to [email protected] after you have signed up requesting opt-out for the auto renewal. After I did that, they sent me an email that said: "we have disabled the auto-renewal feature"

If you search online - you will find 2-year packages to StockAdvisor or Rule-breakers for only $98 (one-year for $59)

Rule Breakers (1-Year) for $99:

[b]For those curious how Motley Fool's stock picks are performing I setup a pie (portfolio) on M1Finance with 41 of the most recent suggested stocks from Tom and David. As long as I see reps coming from this thread so I know people are still using it I will update this link every Thursday to show the new recommendations.
https://m1.finance/2M-jgR32cPTC [Final update was on 04/08 due to apparent lack of interest].
M1finance gives you free trades and fractional shares which means you can transfer xxx dollars a week or 2 weeks and it will adjust it based on your percentages.
Advantage of fractional shares is explained well here: https://www.fool.com/investing/ho...al-shares/

For the people complaining about to much spam before you go crazy and cancel your account, go into your account settings and uncheck what you don't want. I have everything unchecked but the buy/sell alerts in stock advisor. https://www.fool.com/account/comm...-settings/

I just signed up. The first thing they do is try to sell you upgraded services for anywhere from $200-$14,000. The "premium" service we get is nearly useless. The last stock picks article is from December 28.
Swagbucks has 7500SB for the $99 yearly subscription as well, should be stackable for a nice MM.
Market correction coming soon for GameStop.

Quote from freephoneid :
It says purchase needs to be $99+ so those who sign up for $99 membership probably would not be qualified. Isn't it?
When anywhere it says like 99+ (with plus sign), it universally .means the number, 99, is INCLUSIVE

Quote from scorezilla :
The offer says $99+. When I inquired with AMEX customer service they said I would have to spend $99.01 (i.e. the "+") to get the $99 statement credit.

For those of you who didn't get charged tax (I'm in CA and their sales tax page says they Motley Fool doesn't collect sales tax for CA) and only the flat $99, did you get a credit on your statement immediately?

If not, this seems like an awesome deal for those of you who live where they charge sales tax, but a "gotcha" for those who don't.
They gave you wrong info. I am thinking the CSR was I. Country I am thinking then they have trouble understanding. 99+ or any numeric and plus sign means the numeric is INCLUSIVE, that is 99 OR more

Quote from AndrewinMD :
GME is the bitcoin of the stock market right now. Fundamentals don't support the valuation -- not even close. Anyone who buys now is risking a huge loss.

I receive Motley Fool updates on a regular basis, but most of their notifications like that aren't much more than "pump and dump" tidbits for stocks or warnings about stocks already dropping, following market trends.

It has nothing to do with fundamentals...never did. The fat cat hedge funders and big investors shorted the stock to the tune of 140% of the outstanding shares. Which means they eventually have to buy back the stock they borrowed and sold short to pay back the stock loan. How the gov allows them to sell stock shares short which they obviously never owned or borrowed (hence the 140% of the total shares) is beyond me. If that isn't illegal it should be, but of course the fat cats have separate regulations and laws for themselves.

Since there are now more shares shorted than exist, a historic short squeeze is in play as those needing to cover the shorts have to find someone willing to sell them shares and pay whatever it takes to do that, which drives the prices higher and causes others to come in in some sort of crazy feedback loop. It really serves the hedge funds right for playing this manipulation game and being that greedy imo.

As to what happens, who knows. Short selling has limitless loss potential...I would want no part of it. Buying into the high is also a fools bet imo, though who knows where that ends up being. By the time the current admin gets through destroying the energy sector, regulating business to oblivion and raises cap gains taxes through the roof, the market bubble is likely going to burst imo...it is just a matter of when.

Shows same for me.



Still shows $99



Hrm... well considering that other guy already received confirmation, perhaps it isn't strictly enforced? I guess we'll have to see. Worst case, I get the $99 from Amex and it is a wash.
Can you post a link to the $99 plan? The cheapest i see is the $199 plan like the other poster said above.

Quote from hunnii :
The stock market is now just musical chairs. Everyone wins except for the last person out and the shorts who don't have enough capital to stay afloat. This kind of action we are seeing in first month of the year doesn't bode well for the later part of the year or next year.
Quote from BRFILORA :
"You people" said the same thing last year. Imagine having listened then and missed out on the massive market gains of 2020...
The average person doesn't need to worry about market downturns if they are doing it right. Invest long term, keep putting money in incrementally in a diverse portfolio, stay invested and don't divest. Do that for 20-30 years and you will have a big pot of money at the end. When the market is down you only lose money if you sell.I stay invested through every crash and keep investing. The market eventually recovers and keeps making more money if you hang in there.

Until it doesn't or takes 10+ years to recover the losses. OK if you are 20 something. If you are 50 something or older, it is a folly imo. The Fed has manipulated interest rates both after the 2008 crash and for Covid to 0%. They had 12 years between the two to raise rates somewhat before covid hit. Next time, they have no interest rate room or games. All they can do is print up even more money which leads to inflation.

They only thing propping up the market is the fact that people have no where else to go for yield anymore. Real estate has tanked in many areas...Bond yields are down. The next market crash is going to be real bad as such imo. My 2 cents.

If you did it right you started investing in your 20's or 30's and even in your 50's you can withstand crashes. I'm in my 50's and my money is staying put.
