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:

TURN OFF AUTO-RENEWAL
All Motley Fool premium subscriptions are set to automatically renew for your convenience, and to ensure uninterrupted access to your premium service's investing guidance. If you would like to turn off the automatic renewal feature, we can assist.

To help with your request, please email us at [email protected], or by filling out the online Contact Customer Service form.

PRIVACY SETTINGS for premium subscriber
My Fool > Data Preferences >> turn off
My Fool > Data Preferences >> select "The Fool may NOT sell my data"

For Existing Subscribers
For people with existing Stock advisor subscription, if you buy and sign up with same email information as your existing Motley fool account, the new purchase will extend your expiration date by 1 year.

============================================
[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 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.
That doesn't seem right at all. "99+" is casual shorthand for "at least 99", "99 or more". So a $99 purchase would qualify.

Try this link: https://www.aadvantageeshopping.com/
That's what I've been using. Maybe I'm doing it wrong? I click that link, search for Motley Fool, click the top offer, and get a 404 error page. Also get the same 404 error page through the Chase portal.

You don't lose money until you sell. If market takes a downturn and stock portfolio goes down 40% and you don't sell while market is down you haven't lost any money.

By that logic, you have not made any either lol. Bottom line is if she sells out today, she gets 8M - taxes. If the market tanks, she gets 8M - (30-50% loss) - taxes. You can look at it however you want and it is her money so use it however you like. As I mentioned, taking that much risk at age 77 seems to be extremely unwise imo. No respectable financial adviser would have someone in their late 70s 90-100% in stocks for fear that they would lose a large chunk of it and possibly not live long enough to recoup and certainly not be able to enjoy the money to the same level. There is no logic for being as aggressive in your latter years as you are in your younger ones if you are well off.

She actually uses a top financial advisor who understands her financial situation better than you do.

Again, if the market tanks she doesn't get 8M - (30-50% loss) unless she sells while the market is down.

Yeah...gov workers and teachers. The other 90+% of people...ie, the non-leeches of society who have private sector jobs, have no pensions, only 401ks.
Wait, teachers are "leeches?" Are you serious?

I don't see on either of my Amex card offers. Any idea if it is targeted? Will love to double dip with AA Shop/ SB/ Chase... whatever gives best value

It looks like the reward sites are now showing $199, so double dipping may not be possible anymore. I've tried both AA shopping and Glamour Rewards. Anyone else had any luck recently?

Fyi - Signed up yesterday afternoon via Amex link, got "You just redeemed your Amex Offer for The Motley Fool" from Amex early morning.

Now can we remove auto renew from the account online or only option is sending email/calling support? I did not see any account setting to switch off auto renewal.

I have a basic blue cash and had this offer. Based on past offers, I have seen some offers depending on type of card, but many are also targeted offers. This should be available on all types but may or may not be on your account. You have to login and check offers and add the ones available.
