I'm tempted...maybe...

Congratulations! In March my re-subscribe rate was over $400. They offered me "a deal" of around $350. Just too expensive, so have been without even though I do enjoy reading the WSJ.

Got a Kindle and subscribed to the Kindle version for $9.99 a month. Was ok with this even though the Kindle version is much abridged from the paper version. Shortly after getting this subscription the price went up to $15 per month! Have canceled but just this week started paper delivery back. Dow Jones called with an offer at $99 a month. Not as good as yours but I'm happy.
