What a Minneapolis Tribune subscription includes
A Minneapolis Tribune subscription gives you access to news, sports, and local coverage from the Twin Cities. The subscription model varies depending on whether you want digital access, print delivery, or both. You'll need to choose your plan type, provide payment information, and set up login credentials to start reading.
The Tribune offers different subscription tiers. A digital-only subscription covers online articles, the mobile app, and the e-edition (a digital replica of the print paper). A print subscription delivers the physical newspaper to your address on the days it publishes. Many readers combine both for full access across platforms.
Key Takeaways
- Digital subscriptions let you read on any device and typically cost less than print, while print subscriptions deliver the physical paper to your home.
- You can pause or cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings without penalty.
- Payment is usually charged weekly or monthly depending on the plan you choose.
- You'll receive a confirmation email with your login details and instructions for downloading the mobile app after you subscribe.
How to set up a digital subscription
Start by visiting the Minneapolis Tribune website and looking for the subscription button, usually located at the top of the page or within an article paywall. Click through to the subscription page and select the digital plan that fits your needs — most offer options like monthly or annual billing.
Enter your email address and create a password for your account. This becomes your login for the website and mobile app. Then provide your payment method: credit card, debit card, or sometimes digital payment options like PayPal. Review the plan details, including the billing frequency and amount, before confirming your purchase.
After your payment processes, you'll receive a confirmation email. Use the link in that email to verify your account, then log in to start reading. read the Tribune's mobile app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and sign in with the same email and password to read on your phone or tablet.
How to set up a print subscription
Print subscriptions are usually managed through a separate circulation department. Visit the Tribune's website and find the print subscription option, or call the circulation number listed in the paper itself. You'll provide your delivery address, preferred delivery days, and payment information.
The Tribune publishes most days of the week, though the schedule may vary. You can choose to receive the paper daily, on weekends only, or on specific days. Delivery typically begins within a few business days of your order. You'll receive a confirmation with your account number and a customer service phone number to contact if you have questions about your delivery.
Combining digital and print subscriptions
Many readers want both digital access and the printed paper. Some subscription packages bundle both together at a discounted rate compared to buying them separately. Check the subscription page to see if a combined plan is available, as pricing and availability can change.
If you already have one type of subscription and want to add the other, contact customer service with your account number. They can often upgrade your plan without requiring you to cancel and restart. This keeps your login credentials and reading history intact.
Managing your subscription and payment
Log into your account on the Tribune website to view your subscription status, billing history, and payment method. Most accounts let you update your credit card information, change your billing address, or switch between monthly and annual billing directly through your account settings.
Your billing date depends on when you subscribed and which plan you chose. Monthly subscriptions renew on the same date each month, while annual subscriptions renew once per year. You'll receive an email reminder a few days before your next charge.
Pausing or canceling your subscription
You can pause your subscription temporarily through your account settings if you need a break — for example, during vacation or if you're traveling. A pause typically lasts 30 days, after which your subscription resumes automatically. You won't be charged during the pause period.
To cancel, log into your account and select the cancellation option, or contact customer service by phone or email. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period, so you'll retain access through that date. There are no early termination fees or penalties for canceling.
Troubleshooting login and access problems
If you forget your password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page. Enter your email address and the Tribune will send you a reset link. Check your spam folder if you don't see the email within a few minutes.
If you're having trouble accessing articles after subscribing, make sure you're logged in — look for your name or email in the top right corner of the website. If you're still blocked, try clearing your browser's cache and cookies, then log in again. For persistent problems, contact the Tribune's customer service team with your account number and the specific error message you're seeing.
