What’s Included and Not Included
Here’s what is included and not included in the $1 a week NYT subscription:
Online Web Access is included. If you have a tablet or PC, log in at the NYT website and then you can browse everything the NYT has, including cooking, crosswords and games. You can also view comments from other readers on the articles that allow comments. Many NYT subscribers find the reader comments at least as insightful as the main articles.
The NYT App is included in your subscription. The NYT app, available for download for Android and iPhone. The NYT app is one of the most popular (more than 10M downloads) and highest-rated apps (4.8 out of 5). After you download and log into the NYT app you can of course view every article, but also play the NYT games, listen to podcasts and see videos from the Times. You can also view reader comments on articles that have them.
Printed Replica: The All Access subscription does not include the New York Times Replica edition. This edition is a digital replica of the printed newspaper. It requires a separate Press Reader subscription, priced at about $20/month. You can view terms at: New York Times Replica Edition.
New York Times Crossword
The famed New York Times Crossword Puzzle is included in an All Access subscription (currently $1 / week). Until recently the NYT Crossword was priced separately for $6 a month or $60 a year. However, the Crossword plus everything else the Times has to offer, including the Cooking section, is no longer separately available and is included in an All Access subscription.
New York Times Cooking Subscription
Like the crossword, The New York Times Cooking Section is included in All Access subscriptions. Until recently the NYT cooking section was priced separately for $$1.25 / week or $40 a year.
If you have an All Access NY Times digital subscription, the NY Times Crossword and Cooking Section are available to you at no extra charge.
How to Keep Low NYT Subscription Rates
Before you buy a New York Times subscription, be aware that these introductory deals are good only for your first year, and after that you’ll be billed at the regular rate unless you act. Here’s what you should do to keep a low rate:
After purchasing your subscription, set yourself a reminder to contact the newspaper at least a few days before the end of your one-year special. On the call or chat, say you need to save money and ask what you are going to be billed for renewal. Unless you are offered another special rate, say you cannot afford it and need to cancel. You will often be offered the same special rate, or another good deal.
Author’s Note: Since 2019 I have received the Times for $1 a week, billed as $4 every 4 weeks week. Before my yearly deal runs out I contact the Times and say I need to keep the discounted rate, and I’ve always gotten it. Periodically I check my rate to ensure the Times has not changed it; you can check your rate at https://www.nytimes.com/account/subscription
We have been paying the same $1 a week for our NY times digital subscription for several years.
