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.

I know this is a little late to be asking this question, but I just signed up with the amex offer and my wife also has this offer on her account. Can I extend my sub that I just made an additional year with her amex offer?

You should be able to. I remember reading about existing members being able to extend their membership.

Thanks to the posters with the 2 year link and the tax suggestion, I got SA for 2 years. Can I use my wife's card to get a 2 year subscription to Rule Breakers in my account, or will we have to use a separate email?

Anyone managed to use two different cards to get two services set up with one email address?

Thanks

The Motley Fool Stock Advisor Pie/Portfolio is in the wiki of this thread towards the bottom. It's just been updated with today's recommendation which was released at 1pm EST. The link has to be updated every time to reflect the new changes as m1finance gives you a static image of what the pie looked like at the time I created the link.

https://slickdeals.net/f/14800072-this-post-can-and-should-be-edited-by-users-like-you?p=144979363#edit144979363


As always rep's from this thread tell me people are actively using the Pie's and as long as I see activity I will continue to update it.

If you have setup a m1finance account and applied this pie to it (you always have the option to just take the list of stocks to whatever brokerage you prefer but pick one that supports fractional shares to make life easy on you.), I recommend you look at the 1 month timeframe and sort by Tot/Gain then look at the ones that have dropped the most (at the bottom in red) as well as the most recent recommendation. You could also look at Year to date. Since I did my initial buy's back at beginning of February it was an easy way to see what was on "sale" and add to my positions or you can just add x dollars to the whole portfolio and it will divide it up based on the percentages you allocate for each stock. Try to keep in mind these recommendations target you holding the stocks for 3-5 years and they can fluctuate widely at time. Right now Tech is not thought fondly off due to the recent pullback but that's actually the best time to be buying it.
I invested according to this pie, and I'm down 26% since inception. Slick? LOL

Yep...be glad you didn't drop $1000 into each stock on the list or you'd be down about 11.5K.

On the other hand, almost everything is down right now. Heck Tradedesk just dropped over $200 a share because it didn't "meet expections" even though it exceeded expected earnings...just not by "enough" so now everyone is worried about the browser "cookie crisis". On the other hand they TELL you the stocks they recommend are for long term with the expected holding time of 3 to 5 years...that being the case now would be exactly when you would be buying the "profit" you'll see later. If you are dollar cost averaging by putting in x dollars every week, month etc then periods like this make up for the periods where you paid to much.

Of course we always want to see our money jump up 6 months later and be worth 100% more (which when I purchased tradedesk march of last year is exactly what it did)...even with the $200 drop I'm still in the green although it's no longer a 400% gain(at the moment). Appian is down 62% Lemonade 56% Fulgent Genetics 50% Skillz 46% Fiverr 37% and COUP followed by SEVERAL others all sitting around 30% down. If I had extra funds right now I'd be doubling down on all of them. Of course if you are so shorted sited as to complain 3 months in then perhaps you didn't have the right mindset going in.

Try considering it a "drinking game" and every time a stock drops 15%+ or has negative news that causes a temporary pullback buy some extra. Of course you don't have to listen to me, then again I retired when I was 36 earning the majority of my income from investments and no I wasn't a trust fund baby. I did start investing when I was 20 and had my 401k, roth, stock purchase and anything that had any kind of employer match maxed out for at least 10 of those 16 years. Every time I got a "cost of living" raise I pulled the exact extra amount per check into stock purchase and continued living off the same amount I was used to. I would have probably done even better if I had been willing to brown bag lunch but as my waistline reflected at the time I liked eating out for lunch way to much. Oh well. Back to the topic, thankfully my personal pick's of mostly dividend stocks in the REIT, Energy and Utilities sectors has performed significantly better in the 3 months shy of 2 years they've been around which makes it easier to be patient.

There is a big difference between "looking rich" and being financially independent. You just have to decide which one you want to be. In the first the bank owns most of your stuff and you have way more house than you need if you even have a house. In the second everything is paid for and the only "credit" you typically use are cash back credit cards that pay the full balance at the end of the month automatically. If you have a bunch of credit card debt at crazy rates like 18% those should be paid off long before you even look at the stock market.

I hear you. I'm just grousing a bit. LOL. I'm in it for the long haul. Most of my investments are in boring VG Index Funds. I guess I'll just hold onto these Motley Fool investments for awhile.

Yeah those VG funds aren't looking so great right now either. I've got some of those too in another Pie. *shrug* Diversification is key.

If you look at the performance of these for just the last 3 months they are only up 3.36%. They were up significantly higher up till just recently. It's a M1finance prebuilt Pie named "Aggressive 2020" and not one I did so it doesn't allow me to share it via url.

I hear you.

I was impressed by them being early on their Amazon recommendation.
CNBC, pundits, etc., were a good week or more behind them.

They also did well on their DocuSign recommendation ( initially anyway ).

That said, I missed both. Big Grin


Like you guys, I've been becoming of the the mindset- I need to pay up on their newsletter offerings and/or go w/ other financial sites
IF I want to get higher up on the totem pole and get in B4 thousands get in ahead of me. But, the above two recommendations are pretty good imo.
