I can't seem to find a telephone contact # for them, just an email. Is anyone aware of a phone # for the Athletic ?

What's the Athletic about exactly? Would I not be getting the same news on bleachers / TSN / twitter etc. I mean good discount but what do they offer more to charge a premium?

Watch out for the auto renewal as others have said. Mine renewed at $71.99 and they wouldn't refund me.

You can log into your account on desktop and immediately cancel the autorenewal. You'll still have access until Sept 9, 2021xxxronjames wrote: ↑ Watch out for the auto renewal as others have said. Mine renewed at $71.99 and they wouldn't refund me.

Went through the link to get it for $9.01. At checkout it said it would charge me $9.01 but actually charged my credit card $71.99. So angry right now

Are you guys sure they charged your cards for 71$? Or is it a pending transaction?
Edit: only asking because it might just be an authorization hold and not the finally charge to the card...

Seems to work for returning customers too. I cancelled my previous one year plan (discounted) and tried the mentioned offer through paypal and paid 9.01 CAD and then canceled right away via the desktop browser.onslaught192 wrote: ↑ is this for new subs only?

It is the authorization but the invoice they provided shows $71.99 as the charge. It listed the promo code but no discount was applied. Was supposed to be 87.48%.
