In the case of a membership subscription, the customer can either sign up for an annual or monthly membership. When they sign up for a monthly subscription, they are offered 50% for the first three months. This represents about a $22 savings. By contrast, the free trial is currently valid for 14 days (going up to 30 days starting March 1), giving the consumer a net savings of about $15. Members also get 30% off additional purchases, as well as free previews, free digital subscriptions to the NYT or WSJ, and access to member-only special sales.
