Wall Street Journal subscription question

[scfr]

I'm planning to re-start my Wall Street Journal subscription.

The options I'm considering are:
1) print version only for $79 per year
2) print + on-line versions for $99 per year

It has been years since I subscribed, and back then I just had the print version.

For current subscribers, do you subscribe to the on-line version? Do you think it's worth the extra $20 per year? What are the advantages to having it?

Thanks!

scfr - Do you have American Airlines frequent flyer miles? You can use them to "buy" a print subscription to WSJ. I've been getting it for free for at least 6 months. Other points/rewards programs may offer it as well.

My husband has some AA miles --- I will check and see if he will part with them. Thanks for the suggestion!

you stated you are in college, you can get the college rate if your professor (economic, business...etc instructor) fills out the school edition form. It is the same edition but at a discounted rate. My thursday night instructor was getting the form for us, if I can get an extra I will be more than hapy to send it to you. i will let you know, this guy is a little lazy my old instructor was great when it came to getting us the form

Thanks for the suggestion, veronak. I'm actually not in college --- got my BA way back in 1986!!! I did recently do a post on getting through college debt-free, so perhaps that caused a misunderstanding. Sorry.

I get a free online subscription through my work. I browse the articles and forums and other columns every day and would feel that it's worth it for $20 extra if you like to be online. If you don't spend too much time online as it is, you're probably not going to want to browse through the entire site to read a few more things than what they included in the paper.
