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:

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

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.

Appreciate the post even though two thumbs down on the product. I took advantage of this and after 2 days unsubscribed. As others mentioned the content for the $99 plan is total garbage. They constantly attempt to up sell and it just feels like a giant ad. Half the content on their website is stale. The only thing I found any value in were some of the webcasts of which I believe some/all can be had for free.

They post garbage like "if you would have followed our advice to buy Google 10 years ago your return would have been 10000000%" or something stupid like that. Such a disingenuous empty claim. I don't think I'm their demographic but maybe there's some goodness in there for people these things don't trigger.

Quote from famewolf :
You obviously didn't look to hard...in stock advisor section it has a page that lists all their recommendations and when they were made...I took the 21 most recent and built the pie linked in previous post. Any money put into the pie was basically evenly divided amongst them.

Tom releases a couple every week. David releases a couple every month....Tom in the most recent vidcast (last thursday) also mentioned several of his "runner ups".

*correction* Amazon and Tradedesk were not included in the pie since I had them already in another pie.
I'm seeing David and Tom each having one recommendation per month, plus another section of 'best buys now'. Is the latter sort of just general picks they throw out?

I don't really have much confidence that they can pick winners longterm in both a bull and bear market. However I do have confidence they can move a stock, at least temporarily, simply by recommending it. Question is if they can push a stock into profit -- during sane market conditions, which this is not.

I bought one of their recommendations and am a little into profit, but I could have picked almost any stock and probably would be in profit now. I am sort of tempted to just take a small pile of cash, wait a day or two after one of their recommendations so things settle down, buy in ... wait for them to push their recommendations, aim to sell short term at a 5-10% profit, hold the remainder in stocks ... and rinse and repeat every month.

No clue if that would work out or not, or if I am overestimating their affect on their stock picks. Could be fun to try, but I'd need to find a fractional exchange to do that properly... I think Fidelity allows fractional shares?

Found 2-year deals for both products for $98 each. Does that mean the deal does not apply (re $99 minimum)?. Would seem logical that the answer would be no, but the post mentions the 2-year deal without clarification. Just wanted to confirm if anyone has perhaps tried it.

There are definitely too many emails coming from this but I just turned them all off except for weekly notifications. I paid $108 including tax on 1/28 and just got my Amex credit back and got 4,500 delta SkyMiles only a few days after purchase.

What you are saying is not true. Why spread misinformation to other folks here? I don't get it.
The amex deal is real that's about it.

First their claims on returns is non sense. No stock service is capable of getting those returns so right off the bat its a marketing lie. Their stock picking service is garbage and as you will see, you will be bombed with other paid services from them and their partners. Ask me how I know. laugh out loud

They've been doing it between 20-30 years. I remember reading one of their books when I was at my first job. That's both bull and bear including 2008. I've been making profit from the free motley fool articles for years. Easy enough to see which stocks keep appearing in articles over and over. Heck I purchased 3 stocks in April 2020 from a free fool article. Square (up 300%), Tradedesk (also up 300%) and Abbvie which is up around around 80%. Assume 10K in each. That totals around 75K-80K including original investment. Heck I cashed out MY original money in both a couple of months ago so now it's just "free money" out there and I put my cash in other stocks. This can be a valuable resource for the people who actually LOOK at their historical record before naysaying. Also m1finance, robinhood, square cash app all do fractional shares.

Reits dropped 60-80% in March due to covid. When the vaccine was announced around october ALL the reits came up 40-60%. Many like SPG, MAC etc have gone up since then even more. Some of MAC's was because they are the landlord for AMC and other was they were one of the other stocks in the gamestop saga.

It looks like Cash back offer in Swagbucks 50000 SB is back. It's a MM deal

I did that today. Never made a SB account before, but do you know how long before it shows the credit on the account? I don't see any pending activity.

Strange. Revision history shows you removing it at 3:00 pm. If it is still active, I'll add it back.

Well if I did it was an accident but since I just typed a couple of lines under the ones for the sample pie/portfolio I provided I don't see how. Thanks!

The ones that say "tom's picks" or "david's picks" are well worth reading.....for other analysts I have to see the same stock mentioned several times by multiple analysts. Historically their picks have done really well for both bull and bear markets...now of course they have some lemons but they actually send out emails showing "these are some of the lemons I made...and this is why"......that gives me comfort they will own up to any issues. Watch the vidcasts as you get alot more than the dry synopsis emails...especially the ones where the founders answer user submitted comments...they answer the ones that get the most thumbs up...can get some info. For example...Tom Gardner mentioned in passing that he liked GoodRx....it's not a pick anywhere on the site...but it is a company I know and have used to save some money on prescriptions. Winn Dixie and Publix will no longer accept goodrx for pain relief meds....but oddly the accepted pocketrx just fine. If it lets me get a $130 medicine for $50 I'll jump through some hoops including using publix for ONLY that medicine.

Here's a good article to read. I won several of the stocks mentioned...I won't invest in cigerette companys for personal reasons (My father passed from Cancer related to smoking 15 years after he had quit but had smoked for a long time and already had emphasema before he stopped) but they are great for folks who don't mind a product that kills it's customers eventually.

https://www.fool.com/investing/to...ks-to-buy/

You can find great articles on both seeking alpha and motley fool without paying a penny....the stock advisor service takes alot of the guesswork out of it by doing the homework for you in determining if it's a good company or has danger signs showing.

Reit stocks are very hot now......they are dividend payers and have high returns 4-8% as opposed to others more aligned towards growth. High Yield Landlord on Seeking Alpha has some good picks.....sometimes you can find other picks by reading the comments on their articles to see when someone says "What about stock xxx" and he/they replay "We have that stock too....try a 2 week trial subscription to get full info on blah blah blah". They have "sales" all the time yet the price never gets lower than $399 a year...now High Yield Investor does the same thing.....ran by same people for non reit stocks. Start with the free fool articles....you don't have to worry about an upsell with them.
