Any opinions on The Street,com's new pricing? Worth it to anyone?
"Dear Member,
All of us here at TheStreet.com wish to offer you a special thanks. TheStreet.com is about to undergo some exciting changes, and we want you to be there!
If you haven't heard already, TheStreet.com is about to transform its growing offering of news and commentary into a network of free and paid sites aimed at meeting the increasing needs of the investing community. At the hub of this network will be thestreet.com a free site focused on timely market news, insightful commentary, stock analysis and personal finance. As part of the network plan, we will be launching a number of new sites to complement TheStreet.com. The most notable of these sites, RealMoney.com, will feature real-time commentary from popular columnists, including James J. Cramer, Herb Greenberg, Adam Lashinsky, Jim Seymour, Brenda Buttner, Helene Meisler and Gary B. Smith. We're expanding the product to include more commentary and features, and we'll also be increasing the subscription price to $200 a year.
Because you've been with us so far, we want to offer you a special rate to renew now. Lock in the two-year rate of just $200. After July 1, 2000, the annual rate will be $200, but if you act now, you'll be able to get two full years for $200.
If you're unsure about the two-year commitment, we still want you to save. You can renew your subscription for just one year at the rate of $99.95. But keep in mind, next year the price tag will be $200.
Give us a call at 1-800-562-9571 (U.S. and Canada) or 212-321-5491 (outside the U.S.) and tell our customer service representative that you would like to extend your current subscription for two years at $200!
Sincerely,
Karen Smith Singer Senior Marketing Manager TheStreet.com
P.S. Remember, if you're unsure about the two-year commitment, we still want you to save. Call the number above and renew your one-year subscription for $99.95! " |
