The Athletic 6 Months Free Subscription

Spn744

Get 6 months free of the athletic using an Australian VPN and the following link.

https://theathletic.com/checkout2/optus6

This is a promotion currently in Australia but it is bypassed by the vpn and can be used thereafter for viewing content without reconnecting.

A payment method is required but I used a virtual Revolut card so I’ll never be charged, you can cancel the subscription anytime.

The Athletic is a premium sports news website and app. I've never used the athletic personally but free is free!

No problem, first time trying the athletic myself so good to test it for 6 months to see what it’s like :) you also get some podcasts like “the totally football show” advertisement free via the app.

No problem enjoy!

Just for everyone who signed up cancel straight away using the website and you still get access for the 6 months 👍

Great, deal, would recommend anyone interested in sports to give it a try, especially for free.

I renewed recently for 1.50 a month or would be all over this.

Cheers OP. Worked a treat and perfect timing as my annual subscription was ending in 2 days time and I didn't want to pay again.

Great to hear, enjoy!

what does it cover outside of football?

kheb

They cover all the major US sports and others including Golf and Boxing.

There should be a way to filter nonsense. I follow a team and every 2nd or 3rd day I get an email or a notification on my phone for a new article, open it and it's about the ladies team. FFS can people no longer admit that it's not the same thing any more? Can't see a way to unfollow either.

~~Is this expired?~~

~~I follow the link and it says "~~~~It looks like the offer you're trying to access is not available. Save 30% with this special offer instead."~~

~~I have VPN on, but it shows the price in UK £.~~

~~So not sure .~~

EDIT - Got it on Android.

Thanks OP, sub expired yesterday so used this for another six months today. Used Tunnelbear on Android.

Does anyone know how to sign out of the theathletic in browser?

On the black bar, top left, click on 'You'.

In the subsequent dropdown menu click 'Log Out'

Thanks, but I mean in the browser. I have logged out of the app, but can't log out of the browser. I must be missing something fairly obvious, but can't see it.

Could you use a private browser or a different one than you’re logged into?

Suckit

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117882240#Comment_117882240

Yeah, I did in the end, I used Kiwi, but I am still logged in on Bromite and I don't want to clear history yet, as I haven't bookmarked a load of stuff, like recipes and information on things I am looking into etc. I should have bookmarked them as I was going, but they appear fairly handily as is, but to bookmark them now would take ages. Daft I know.

Anyway, I can't log out in the browser and it's a niggling annoyance.

I don't use the app. I too was talking about the browser. I am on Chrome browser on macOS (desktop) and can see that top left 'you' link just fine. What do you see?

CFC007

Anyone see any other deals now this has expired. Thanks

Might or might not work as they were advertising it a good few weeks ago now and not sure of expiry date.

£1 for 6 months was the offer.

[Deleted User]

^^^ the above link is missing "the" at the start, it's going to a squatter RN. When I added it on it was £1 a month for 6 months.

When I went to cancel they offered me a year for 18 Aussie Dollars, about €12

Hi All,

If you go on this link and make you pick annual you get 90 days free. It shows in USD but no VPN needed, just make sure you cancel straight away so you don't get charged the full year after 90 days.

https://theathletic.com/checkout/?plan_id=83

Dublinandy3

Hi All,

My 90 days ran out a few days ago, and I just used the same link again to sign up for another 90 days for free, then cancelled straight away again.

It is possible to keep repeating, with the same account. I do find when you log in after clicking the link it tries to give you 7 days for free, just go back in and you get your 90 days.

My deal up in September which paid up for the year in one payment.

Will try this on same account hopefully works if not have another account can try it on as don't want to lose this subscription!

It should work, you can see here from my screenshot. Subscription migrated must mean when I cancelled it straight away after the trial started:

If you go to sign up on their website it’s £1 a month for 6 months and then normal price after that - don’t mind paying £6 for 6 months.
