    As I said in my earlier post, when I phoned the Telegraph they quoted me £5.35, today I received a mailshot quoting £1.50!! So I phoned the Times again and asked to speak to a supervisor and no way would they budge from the original £3. He said don't bother renewing but wait a few weeks and they (Times) will probably come back to me with a £1.50 offer.

    He said we hook you on £1.50 and increase every year by 50p, which has happened with me since 2004.

    So I have an offer code for the Telegraph could someone else use it or is it tied to my details?

  • The Telegraph offer code is specific to your name and address and they will not offer it to anyone else.

    I will dig it out of the bin and pm you if you want to try it, but Call Centre Guru seems to know about these things. Let me know

    My Times sub has come up for renewal at £4.50 pw - it goes up 50p every time. What's interesting is seeing here (http://www.abc.org.uk) that they offer subscriptions running from £1.50 to £4.50 pw. No way I'm renewing at £4.50.

    I see also from the same site (just search for the newspaper you want to check on) that the Telegraph subs run from £1 to £5.35. There are some bargain rates out there, and I'd love to know the best way to get them!

    Thanks Newbold
    What a fantastic find - all the rates laid bare!
    It makes negotiating much easier!

    I assume the rates depend on where you live, if your postcode is an area full of £1m houses you are very attractive to advertisers so the Telegraph will target such places with silly offers.
    WHOOOOSHHHHHHHHH……..
    Blimey what was that ?
    That was your life mate
    Oh I wasn’t quite ready can I have another go ?
    Sorry mate only one per person.

    That certainly does not apply to me. My postcode only contains about 20 small houses in a rural area.

    What happens if you are away during the subscription period? Can you ring them and ask for no vouchers for a particular week?
