Go to nytimes.com and sign up for a free trial with a new email address

Check the email you signed up with for a 'Special offer' or 'We miss you' email from NYT

6

Click the link in the email to subscribe at $1/mo for the first 12 months

What to expect

NYT's trial expiry pipeline is well-oiled. After your trial expires, their system marks your account as a high-value lead (you engaged with the content but didn't convert). The $1/mo email typically arrives within 3-7 days. It looks like a normal promotional email, so check your spam/promotions tabs. The offer is for All Access digital, which includes News, Cooking, Games, Wirecutter, and The Athletic.

Pro tips

  • *The $1/mo deal is the best publicly known NYT offer, at 96% off the regular price
  • *Use a fresh email that's never had a NYT subscription for best results
  • *The NYT Cooking and Games add-ons are sometimes included in the All Access win-back deal
  • *Set a calendar reminder 5 days after your trial ends to check for the email
  • *If you already have a lapsed account, try signing up with a different email entirely

Troubleshooting

No email after 10 days? Check spam and promotions folders. Also try visiting nytimes.com while logged in. The offer sometimes appears as a banner.

Getting $4/mo instead of $1/mo? The exact offer varies. $1-4/mo range is typical for win-back offers.

Already used a trial before? Use a different email address. NYT tracks trials per email, not per person.

What happens after 12 months? Price jumps to the full rate. Set a reminder at month 11 to cancel and repeat the process.

What is a trial expiry deal?

Sign up for a free trial and let it expire without converting to paid. The win-back emails that follow often contain the best deals the company offers.
