I received the same invoice indicating that I paid $9.01 but the actually charged me $71.99.

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, 2021

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

This is what I'm afraid of! I sent a message to The Athletic about this. Waiting for a response.

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.

I'm good till Sept 9 2021!

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%.
