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.
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.
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 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.
Transferred over the phone four times, waited 45 minutes in total to be told that the subscription renewal fee could not be refunded even though it was processed three days before the renewal date. I was very polite in my response and conveyed to them that it would not be acceptable for me to take on this charge with my credit card, and that I would dispute the charge. Somehow that worked and he put me on hold for another 20 minutes before telling me they will refund the ~$21 charge. Love the magazine, but the billing and customer service departments need some serious work.
Informative website, but cancelling your subscription is a convoluted pain... Can't be done online; must be done over the phone (which is indicated nowhere in the "Manage Subscriptions" section).
I think Barron's is less about investing and more about speculation. A real long-term investor I do not think needs Barron's but rather can do all the research they need by looking at publicly filed reports and other sources. Save your money and time and look elsewhere for real "investing" information.
