What you get with a New York Post subscription
A New York Post subscription gives you access to the publication's news coverage across print, digital, or both. The Post is a daily newspaper owned by News Corp that covers New York City politics, crime, sports, and national news. You can read articles on the website and mobile app, or receive the physical paper delivered to your home.
The subscription model you choose determines which content you can read and how you receive it. Some readers want the print edition only, others prefer digital access on their phone or computer, and some combine both. The Post offers different price points and commitment lengths for each option.
Key Takeaways
- The New York Post offers three main subscription types: digital-only, print-only, and print plus digital combined.
- Digital subscriptions cost less than print but give you access only to the website and mobile app, not the physical newspaper.
- Print subscriptions include home delivery of the physical paper, and adding digital access to a print subscription costs extra.
- You can pause, cancel, or change your subscription type through your account settings on the Post's website or by contacting customer service.
- The Post frequently runs promotional pricing for new subscribers, so the introductory rate you see may differ from the regular renewal price.
Digital-only subscriptions and what they include
A digital subscription lets you read New York Post articles on nytimes.com and through the official mobile app for iOS and Android. You can access stories, opinion columns, photo galleries, and video content. Digital subscribers do not receive the printed newspaper.
Digital subscriptions renew automatically on a monthly or annual basis, depending on which plan you choose at sign-up. The Post charges your payment method on the renewal date each billing cycle. You can change your plan or cancel anytime through your account dashboard before the next billing date.
The Post's website shows current pricing for digital plans, but introductory rates for new subscribers often differ from the standard renewal rate. Read the terms before you complete your purchase so you know what you will pay after the promotional period ends.
Print subscriptions and home delivery options
A print subscription delivers the physical New York Post to your home on the days the paper publishes. Delivery frequency and cost depend on your location and the plan you select. Some subscribers receive the paper seven days a week, while others choose weekdays only or weekends only.
Print subscriptions also renew automatically and charge your payment method on a recurring schedule. You can modify your delivery days, pause delivery temporarily, or cancel through your account or by calling the Post's customer service line. If you want digital access in addition to print, you can add it to your existing print subscription for an extra monthly fee.
Delivery availability varies by address. When you enter your zip code during sign-up, the Post will show you which print plans are available in your area and what the delivery schedule looks like.
Print plus digital bundles
A combined print and digital subscription gives you both the physical newspaper delivered to your home and full access to the website and mobile app. This bundle costs more than either option alone but less than paying for both separately. You receive one bill that covers both services.
Like other subscriptions, the bundle renews automatically on your chosen schedule. You can upgrade from print-only to the bundle, downgrade to digital-only, or cancel the entire subscription through your account settings. If you add digital to an existing print subscription, the Post will prorate the charges based on your current billing cycle.
How to start and manage your subscription
To start a subscription, go to the New York Post's website and select the subscription option you want. You will enter your email address, create a password, choose your plan (monthly or annual), and provide a payment method. The Post accepts major credit cards and debit cards. After you complete the purchase, you can log in when ready and start reading.
Once you have an active subscription, you can manage it through your account page. There you can update your payment method, change your plan, pause delivery if you have print, or cancel entirely. If you have questions about your bill or need to make changes, you can contact the Post's customer service team by phone or through the website's contact form.
If you forget your password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page to reset it. If you cannot access your account or have trouble logging in, customer service can help you regain access.
Promotional offers and pricing variations
The New York Post regularly offers introductory rates for new subscribers. These promotional prices are lower than the standard renewal rate and last for a set period — often the first month or first few months of your subscription. After the promotional period ends, your subscription renews at the regular price unless you cancel.
The exact promotional offer changes frequently and may vary depending on which subscription type you choose and when you sign up. Always review the full terms before completing your purchase so you understand what the renewal price will be. Some promotions require you to commit to a longer billing cycle (like annual instead of monthly) to get the lower rate.
If you have an active subscription and see a better promotional offer later, you may be able to cancel and restart with the new offer, though this depends on the Post's current policies. Contact customer service to ask whether this option is available to you.
Pausing, changing, or canceling your subscription
You can pause your print delivery temporarily without canceling your subscription. This is useful if you are traveling or want to stop delivery for a few weeks. When you pause, your subscription remains active and your renewal date does not change — you straightforward do not receive the paper during the pause period.
To change your subscription type — for example, from digital-only to print plus digital — log into your account and select the option to upgrade or downgrade. The Post will adjust your billing to reflect the new plan, usually prorating charges based on your current billing cycle.
Canceling your subscription stops all access and billing. You can cancel anytime through your account settings, and the cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. If you cancel mid-cycle, you will not receive a refund for the unused portion, but you will retain access until your paid period ends.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I read the New York Post without a subscription?
The New York Post allows readers to view a limited number of free articles per month before a paywall appears. A subscription removes this limit and gives you unlimited access to all content on the website and app.
What payment methods does the New York Post accept?
The Post accepts major credit cards and debit cards, including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. You provide your payment information during sign-up, and the Post charges it automatically on each renewal date.
Can I change my subscription plan after I sign up?
Yes. You can upgrade to a higher tier, downgrade to a lower tier, or switch between monthly and annual billing through your account settings. Changes typically take effect on your next billing date, and the Post will adjust your charges accordingly.
What happens if my payment fails?
If your payment method is declined, the Post will attempt to charge it again. If the charge continues to fail, your subscription may be suspended until you update your payment information. Log into your account to add a new card or contact customer service for help.
Do I get a refund if I cancel mid-cycle?
No. Subscriptions are non-refundable, but you retain access to your subscription through the end of your paid billing period. If you cancel on the 15th of a month and your bill renews on the 30th, you can still read until the 30th.
