Will I get emails from the New York Times?
Yes, by creating a nytimes.com account, you will get emails about purchasing an individual subscription to the NYT. However, you can unsubscribe to these promotional emails, and the NYT will honor your request.
Can I save items and access them across devices?
Yes, when you are logged in with your NYT account, you can save an article for later. This list of items saved for later will be accessible on any device, when you log in to your NYT account.
Once my 72 hour pass runs out, can I get another one?
Yes. Just follow the same steps that you did to get the first one.
I have more questions. How do I get help?
Please contact your local library for assistance.
