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.

Are there any deals on renewal? Surprisingly I've come to really enjoy The Athletic, but I really only follow two teams and am not a big sports fan beyond that, so it's hard to justify $60/year.

I think you could have cancelled anytime and it would have kept your subscription active for one year, then automatically cancel. Most service trials are like this, i.e. Spotify. One service I noticed that doesn't allow this is Apple TV+.

how about their free stock? they sold our stocks to another guy and they ate up our monthly fees until its depleted. unless we setup a stock profile with them.

I don't know if I ever signed up for it. Is there a login link someone could share?

Haha no problem. I just realized I had zero reps yet this year, so trying make up for it. Hint hint 😜😁
With all the money SD makes off users' deal posts, they should reward people (money, cashback, etc) who accrue lots of reps within a certain period, similar to subscribers and views for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, etc

Gotta go thru a browser, the app directs you there. Settings->manage subscriptions->click link and it should open in browser.
