SUBSCRIBED FOR OVER FORTY YEARS. RECENTLY CANCELLED BECAUSE, EXCEPT FOR SOME REALLY GOOD COLUMNISTS, IT HAS BECOME A HAVEN FOR ANTI-TRUMP CUB REPORTERS AND 'WOKE' JOURNALISTS. I EXPECT WSJ TO BE SOLD SOON...

I had a 1 yr subscription to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ). I could place delivery holds but only for 60 days. I put repeated holds over that last years and all of a sudden I was told my sub expired!?? But the reps I spoke to every 2 months told me I had extended my sub into the future! (I had about 9 months left of my year sub.) Dow Jones, will not budge. They are claiming all sorts of stuff that I didn't subscribe to (digital enhancements?!?) So they claim by sub is done. The reps I talked to every 2 months said otherwise. Shame on you for ending my legitimate, 9 month, subscription to the WSJ. EVERY rep confirmed my sub every 2 months when I called and asked about it! Obviously Dow Jones does not stand behind what their employees tell their customers! BUYER BEWARE! HORRIBLE, SLEAZY company that doesn't stand behind their product?!? (And seriously, how hard would it be to continue my subscription that I SHOULD still have?!? Easy to appease the customer IMHO!) I have already told over 100 people this story. Hopefully they will reconsider any involvement w/ this company!!! ZERO STARS!

A laughably biased newspaper that is completely in the tank for lobbyists, military spending, and anything that sacrifices America for profit and the glee of the Associated Press’ preferences.

The WSJ subscription was fine for the year at $15 monthly plus tax. The subscription ended on 5/5/25 and went to $70 per month plus tax, and I was billed before it could be canceled. I called in to see what could be done on 5/6/25, and the WSJ offered $299 per year ($24.92 per month), which was fine with me. I asked them to take off the $70 charge for the one day, and they would NOT (spoke to supervisory level), even though I was signing for a new yearly contract. I immediately canceled the entire subscription and will fight the $70 overcharge with my credit card company. I would not do business with the WSJ, Barrons, Marketwatch, and IBD again, and will NOT recommend this to anyone for their petty, sneaky tactics. If I could give this zero stars, I would. I will be calling the many people I recommended this subscription to and telling them to watch out for the WSJ self-destructive business practice....

Once promotion for your monthly subscription ends, it goes up to 20x and you call them to cancel. They will say no refund sorry. I don't think this is a good way to keep customer. I think it is not a good way to do business. Oh boi, I expected more from such a reputed company...

Just writing a review to inform UK subscribers that there is indeed a cancellation option within the WSJ website, so you don't have to phone to cancel. Also, for added peace of mind just subscribe as I did with a virtual card which you can delete at the end of the subscription period. With the bonkers US news and the great joining offer I thought I'd give it a try. No complaints so far, the WSJ looks very professional and comprehensive.

They are left leaning and their articles are often told from the opinion of the writer. Maybe a news company focused on business should have capitalists as writers....just a thought. I stop reading their articles after TDS swept through the company.

Unfortunately, Dow Jones/WSJ seems to be a bit shady when it comes to honoring their end of the deal with customers. They charged me $41 for a month, and two days later locked me out, asking for an additional subscription. Phone calls haven’t helped. Email responses are illegible with most lines only half visible. I am disappointed that WSJ is not living up to what was their good reputation.
