"Please renew your subscription."

[George K]

I got an email from the New York Times. My $4/month subscription is gone:

AUTOMATIC RENEWAL REMINDER

• On January 23, 2024, your subscription will renew at the rate of $125.00 for the next year. You will thereafter pay the standard rate of $250.00 annually.

• Your payment method will be automatically charged annually.

• Sales tax may apply.

• Your subscription will continue until you cancel.

• Cancel before January 23, 2024 to prevent automatic renewal of your subscription.

• You may cancel your subscription at any time in your account settings, or during limited hours by chat or phone. Cancellations will take effect at the end of your current billing period. For more information, see our Terms of Sale.

Nah, not worth it for me.

So, I went to cancel the subscription.

"Wait! Would you like to update?"

Lemme look...

OK!

AUTOMATIC RENEWAL TERMS
Your payment method will be automatically charged $4.00 every 4 weeks for the first year.
It will then be automatically charged $25.00 every 4 weeks thereafter, starting on December 15, 2024.
Sales tax may apply.
Your subscription will continue until you cancel.

$4 a month for the next year. That's fine.

$4 for 4 weeks during your first year, your first year ends next month.

I say double check it
