In the next two weeks, it will be a year since T-Mobile Tuesday offered the free one-year subscription to The Athletic (I didn't even use it). It renews at $60 after the free one year expires. Cancel your subscription (if you haven't done so) if you don't want to be charged or don't want the headache of having to contact them after getting charged.

Here was the original deal from last year.

You can check your subscription status here: https://www.mlb.com/account/subsc...scriptions
The picture is for a different promotion.

MLB.tv is different from the Athletic. No payment info is entered on the annual free MLB.tv subscription, so you don't have to cancel that one.

Same. Anyone know?

Your subscription is canceled if it shows the expiration date, so you are good to go.

Quote from Bill McNeal :
They run promos all the time, I've been paying for it for a few years and I just let my subscription expire and within a few weeks I always get an email with a deal to resub. Here's a promo from one of their podcasts for $3.99/mo if you are looking for something sooner https://theathletic.com/checkout2...castID_62_
Thank you!

My MLB.TV account says my T-Mobile promotion will expire on March 1, 2022, and they do not have my payment info on file. See the attached screenshot.

Same here. I don't understand how are people putting their card on it?

Thanks OP, looks like I canceled it the week after I signed up, but just double checked anyway to make sure.

This is for The Athletic, not MLB.TV.
