Barron's

Signed up for the month to month subscription.
Articles are sent via email.
Wasn't able to open them, so no value.
My fault for not cancelling sooner, but when I did at noticing the monthly charge about to post, they refused to refund that charge so now i have another USELESS month of a Barron's subscription.
POOR product, POORER customer service.

DO NOT USE: Too late, I found out that there is no support was compromised by greed and request for more money. And I was left with a product that I could not use. She promised to tape a session so that I could do this alone; she failed me. I spent nearly 2,000 and her program failed to generate the promised results. She works out of her house and misrepresents her operation by using a glorified title.

I wonder why they have 1.5 star reviews. I guess I am not alone to think that their digital content is terrible and way too expensive - also they are easy to take your subscription money on line, but when it comes to cancellation you need to call them - their promotional offer of $7.99 went to $19.99 and when I called to cancel and at least get reimbursed the same same it was renewed, they rejected the request. Never ever will I use their services - their print issue is much better, but their digital and the subscription method is deceiving.

Why is Barron's sooo agressively hatefull towards Bitcoin? Who's behind this irrelevant pessimist point of view agenda pusher?
I've Never seen a positive comment about BTC from them, regardless of BTC being the asset that had the Most $ % gains in the last 15 years...?!
Who is behind Barron's shareholders? JP Morgan? Warren Buffet? Elizabeth Warren?
I double dare this comment not to get deleted by this page moderator and like/hope to see what kind of comments it draws...
Because, let's face it, the centralized banking industry is saturated with corporate crooks and greedy moral hazard enforcers...
Comments anyone?

I have lured by their initial 3 months subscription for $13.20. Their articles are brief and easy to read on my mobile phone. I haven't try their stock recommendations yet. I don't mind paying for good content. But when I find out the only way you can cancel is by phone, it really turns me off. I live it Australia and their phone number is connected to a service centre in Hong Kong. I am surprised for a respected news site, they have to make it so hard to cancel. Now I am stuck with them for a year at US$52.

I did not receive my Barron's subscription for about a year. The charge was about $25 a month. I had called and asked for a refund for the past 12 months but they were unwilling to do so. They also had an introductory rate of $10 a month but they did not offer this either. Of course, I could have called earlier to address the delivery issue. But it nevertheless was disappointing.

They have some good data and you can get some good ideas here but you will need to dig a bit more. Sentiment data is quite good as they cover several sources and it saves you money as they provide the data for free

When it to Subscription Customer Service, Barron's is the worst! They have agent(s) that are difficult to understand, don't listen and talk over you, Impossible to get anything done! On two attempts when I requested to escalate my call to speak with a Supervisor I was immediately disconnected. Let the "buyer/subscriber" beware of their subscription promotions! They'll take your money and then no service. Very frustrating! No way to run a business - total incompetence. Barron's content is good, customer service sucks! I won't be back.

What a scam save your money. Just like everyone says. Stealing your money. I have never and will never set up a auto renewal. But Barrons said I did and has been stealing my money for months. Don't know where there customer service people are from but they don't speak English. But what else would you expect from the wall street journal. Oh and by the way it makes you give them at least 1 star.

I have been dealing with the worst delivery issue for years. Every time I try to change an address it takes Barron's at least 4or 5 non delivery issues to get it right. Every time I call ( and it is very often) customer service just gives me lip service about how sorry they are but never resolves the problem. Shame on me for keep renewing this magazine and promoting horrible customer service

I called regarding their mishandling of my subscription. Wasted my time. DO NOT subscribe. Do not spend your money on this service. Also, articles completely lack rigor some are written at the 5th-grade level, lack any semblance of logic. For example the plight of BNB hosts who were suffering after 1 month of non-service... seriously?>>>. Customer service is quite bad. Not worth the trouble. Watch out for credit card charges.

I tried to send the Barron's magazine to my son in prison. I paid $12 for 3 months. He never received one issue. I called 6 times, "Ok, we will check with the postal service to see what the issue is." Then I am charged $29.99 for one month, called again, same response, still no magazine. Stupid me forgets until again, next month, $29.99 charge. What a hassle to just cancel. And they will only refund the last charge, even though they have it on record that I have complained over and over again. And I agree with the one reviewer, most of these people do not speak very good English :(

Cant get in to site, says credit card not valid when it is, subscriptions auto renew at a rip off price, impossible to get a real person on the phone. This company sucks. Why would I pay for info I can get free all over the web, anyway?!?

I have been a loyal subscriber for many years. Good magazine, but the absolute worst customer service I have ever encountered. Obviously, Barrons doe not give a hoot about it customers, since there are constant complaints. My magazine is supposed to be delivered on saturday mornings, but never arrives until monday or tuesday. I have called customer service at least 10 times over the last 2 years but they are absolutely worthless. They say they will fix the problem but it never gets fixed. I suspect that the problem is that they have zero interaction with the delivery service. They cant call them, only send something via computer. The delivery service totally ignores them. Barrons does not care. The worst.

A good place for the novice trader to start looking for ideas. Some of the articles are good and in many instances you can use the overhyped articles as a contrarian guide. If they say go short, go long and vice versa for example.

Both the service and contents are poor. I have been a subscriber for over three months and only received
Physical delivery about 3 times! I don't bother contacting "customer service" anymore because after reading the online magazine version I decided there is no value in either the print or the digital version. The content is really nothing to write home about, it's information readily accessible online for free. Besides, over the years I have noticed the Barrons' analysis to be FLAWED, for instance when Facebook went public Barrons' did not waste any time by calling a $15 value on the stock, we all know how Facebook skyrocketed in price though. Their customer service is poor and non-responsive. To their credit though, they did manage to send a free insulated beverage mug! Hence the one star, otherwise and minus star is warranted. Do not subscribe to this magazine.

I really like the new look and story organization of Barron's. Much easier to find information I need. And still have same great columnists. Thank you for all the work that must have gone into the update.

Call me old fashioned but I still subscribe to the print edition of Barron's and read it for investment tips. I find the articles to be well thought out and insightful. Better than a lot of the rubbish you get online these days.

Waited almost 3 months on my love seat just to have them show up with the wrong love seat. Wanted an electric one because I'm disabled and can't pull the lever and they were unprofessional and arguing with us that it was the right couch. Have bought from them 3 times and this was the first time I was very dissatisfied.

Very difficult to cancel your membership, can't do it on the website or over email for stupid reasons and the phone number for the Australian branch is only connected to local landlines. Such a hassle to get rid of, if I knew about this from the start I would've never gotten into this. Appalling customer service!

My subscription with Barron's was about to expire and my credit card information had expired. Because you can't cancel online and they hang up when you get the cancelation department, I purposely left my old credit card information on file thinking it would end my subscription. Somehow Barron's updated my new credit card (new expiration date) information and put through charges anyway. When I discovered the charges a week later and called, I was told no refunds. Anyone else manipulating credit card like this would be in jail. Don't do business with this corporation.

Barron's makes it very difficult to cancel a subscription. If a company is willing to let you sign up online they should allow you to cancel online. Pure scam. Wasting peoples time in order to steal a couple dollars. Try putting out a decent product and it won't be necessary to use these types of tactics.

1) their service which is really just news, live news, but still second-hand resource, every damn time you get the news feed, the market has already reacted to it. You won't profit from it as a trader, long term investor, you don't need this $#*!. CNBC is the way to go, free and just as good if not better for news.
2) take forever to cancel. You have to call, and it takes forever, trying to cancel it right now, been on the phone for over 1 hour. I speak English, now just imagine if you have some language barrier or disability, this company doesn't have good will, btw they publish a good amount of bs biased articles too.
