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.

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.

Signed up yesterday for SA. I am not seeing much information. It is just few articles. Brokerages provide lot of research articles and reports.
Look at my post just above, their main service is the BUY and SELL recommendations. The rest of it is articles to tell you to Buy and Hold, and relax, even when the market is freaking out; over the long term, the market goes UP. And their choices go UP even more.

Quote from Namelessme :
For Fool subscribers, any recommended articles or picks to look for? Of course I noticed the stock advisor section and the 2 monthtly picks, but is any of that info actually helpful?

I'm a bit skeptical after seeing today's recommendation -- stock immediately shot up after the recommendation. Is that typical? If so, it does come across a little sketchy there...like the time to have bought it was before the recommendation, not after.
Good observation. Yes, this service has gotten popular enough that they do affect the market. Somewhere in their forum postings is a message about this, and to NOT try to market time, and maybe dollar cost average your way in, if you are worried about a possible temporary spike. Also, they are starting to change how they release the recommendations, I assume in an effort to stop the 'bots.

Helpful: the articles are good if you need psychological help to BUY and to HOLD. But once you have that part under control, then all I ever look at is the BUY and SELL recommendations.
The right side of this page:
https://www.fool.com/premium/stoc.../coverage/
Has links to "Buy Recommendations" and "Sell Recommendations", "Best Buys Now", "Guidance Change", and "Hold Recommendations". I usually sell the Holds and buy from the buy list.

finally, the "Home" link up top takes you to "Stocks to Buy Today"

Quote from famewolf :
Take a look at the 20 in that list....several of them have already jumped 10 times their price at the time motley fool started recommending but keep in mind their advice is intended towards holding stock for 3 to 5 YEARS.


I made a KILLING on 1 of those "If you have $3000 invest in these 3 stocks" articles that recommended Square (up 300% since April 2020), Tradedesk(up 280% since April 2020) and Abbvie (up 78% since April 2020). If you google it's easy enough to find that article and check how those stocks have done since then. I have a harder time when it's the third time Tom has recommended FVRR which has already gone up 10 times and he still thinks it has another 10 in it...yet I dropped some cash on it today on top of the amount I opened the position with the day I saw their list of recommendations.

Oh worth mentioning they also recommend Amazon and Tradedesk which are not in that Pie because I have them in another one.

Today was the first videocast I watched and I noted two things....he mentions stocks in passing (with stock symbol) not on their list that he likes (Like GDRX and WD) and he spent 1/2 of the hour allotted answering user submitted questions (the ones that had been most upvoted by other viewers). They just started this video stuff apparently so transcripts are not realtime yet so depends on if you want to know the info at 1pm est or whenever they get around to typing it in. None of that stuff shows up in their one paragraph synopsis article.

I'm a little curious how their picks do in a bear market? Were you following them during the 2000-2009 time period? Or at least during a 'normal' time?

I don't count this past year as a rational one -- reminds me an awful lot of the late 90s where basically all you had to do was throw a dart at a list of stocks and you'd pick a winner. Only this time it seems even more insane, completely detached from pretending fundamentals even matter anymore. (ex. gamestop and so on).

You are right about 2020...after the covid reaction a monkey throwing darts could pick stocks that were going to go up....but if it dropped 40% YTD and went up 80% I'd say you have more than just covid in the mix. Honestly the typical fool thought on bear markets is buy Buy BUY! I know because I react the same....I can get the stocks I like at a cheaper price? Maybe I don't need to keep so much in the bank earning nothing or in bonds. I have money set aside specifically for if the market drops 30% (like covid did)...on their webcast they said their picks typically perform more poorly in a bear market but perform better in a bull market....one example mentioned was if the market is down 20% their picks are going to be down 30% because they are not targeting short term results. Tom quoted some statistics...I want to say once every 2 years for a 15-20% drop and once in 4 years for a 20-30% drop. Just keep picking stocks with good fundamentals and holding them for long periods of time. I worked for a company from 10/1990 to 03/1995 and I wanna say after a year I was allowed to get into a 3% of salary stock match of 50% program that I maxed out. I didn't buy anything but dividends being reinvested and that stock was one of the ones that put me a good way towards financial freedom. I had an uncle who basically became a millionaire by holding onto a stock for 30+ years so I started investing EARLY which is what I try to get others to do. If you get a raise sock that money into an index fund before you even miss the money...that kinda thing.

My personal pie which contains picks taken from fool articles and seeking alpha posts has alot of reits, financial stocks and energy stocks with a few utilities tossed in and it's currently at a 41.7 ROI. (different pie than the one from the fool although I have some of their picks in that one) At least twice I was able to partially sell one of the stocks and recoup my initial investment so now Im running strictly off "their" money.

Partial shares is a big deal....Robinhood, Square Cash App and M1 Finance all have free trades and allow partial shares. M1finance further lets you setup a pie by percentage for each stock so I can just do a buy of the entire pie and it auto allocates amounts based on my pie percentages and how much up or down they are from those percentages. I really like not having to do calculations to figure out how many shares of each stock I can buy.

I did the same yesterday. will update you in couple days whether it triggered the cashback.

I did it last night too. So far, no sight of cashback yet and no Amex notification email (probably just Amex glitch). If nothing in the next 24h, I will cancel the subscription.

Looks like several people's Amex statement credit posted.

I purchased the $99 plan with my Amex Everyday Preferred card on 1/27/21 but still not seeing the statement credit yet, anyone in the same boat as me?

I saw this thread and since it's free, I subscribed.... given 10 min looking around... Motley is a freaken scam. Their alerts suck ass. Have an account with TDAmeritrade and you get better market analysis. From there, if you don't know what stock you should buy then just hand your account over to the bank and have them do it for you.

I received the email from Amex that I used the Amex offer. But could someone please tell me, how soon the offer will disappear from "Added to your card"? Because I still see it there.

I got the $99 credit from Amex, but received yesterday that they would charge back $75. I guess it's due to the pending 7,500 points from swagbucks.
