Step-by-step guide
Go to nytimes.com and sign up for a free trial with a new email address
Use the trial normally. Read articles, use the app, and build a reading habit.
When the trial is about to expire, do NOT convert to paid. Let it expire naturally.
Wait 3-7 days after the trial expires
Check the email you signed up with for a 'Special offer' or 'We miss you' email from NYT
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?
