The Athletic Free Subscription with BT Sport monthly

[Brucemeister5]

I cancelled my free BT Sport The Athletic subscription in April and it expires tomorrow. I’ve kept the cancellation email and my account also confirms that I have cancelled. I’m waiting to see if I get a good offer to renew my subscription. Has anyone else had a good renewal offer from them?

Hi @Brucemeister5 , this was part of my email exchange:

“ I can certainly process a full refund and cancel your account. Alternatively, I can offer you a partial refund of £18 to lower your total cost to £41.99. Please be aware that canceling your subscription will forfeit your locked-in renewal rate of £41.99.”

Not sure if this was specific to me or whether it will be available to others.

@StewM ok, thanks. I’ll see if I get offered anything. I think I’d be looking for something much better than they’ve offered you though.

Update:

I received my full refund - so following up on automated emails paid off. So account closed.

Interestingly, I am now receiving the Athletic Weekly Digest! 🤪
