I wanna- promo codes for newspaper subs

Options
Hi all

My annual subscription to the Times is soon due and they want £100 to renew.

As it started at £50+ a few years ago and went up each year I suspect they are offering cheaper deals to new punters only

Has anyone any suggestions ?

Tried the Daily Telegraph but they demand a promo code to offer a deal.

thanks

    I`ll swap with you. I have tried to subscribe as a new subscriber and they want £182 for the year - £3.50 per week. If they had invited me - as result of completing consumer survey, I don`t know which one - cost would be £1.50 or £2 per week! (£78 or £104)

    I'm in the same trap now.

    I have been subscribing to the Times for some years now, and have seen the weekly cost rise every time. It started at £1.50 per week, and now they want £3.00 per week.

    I tried going to them claiming to be a new punter, but was told that the charge would be £4.00 per week - so that didn't work.

    Has anyone got a promo code that could get me the subscription cheaper?

    Thanks

    TNL-004.

    If your £3.00 sub is TNL-005, whats the betting TNL-003 is £2.00, TNL-002 is £1.50 and TNL-001 is £1.00

    Thanks for the code - I'll see how I get on, and let you know.

    However, my offer code was TNL-MIG2

    No luck on that.

    It appears that the Times keep a database of to whom they make offers. So couldn't get my quote down.

    Apparently if you let you subscription lapse, they sometimes will come back with a reduced offer - but that can be 6 months down the line.

    How about ordering in the Mrs name or parents address using a different code?
