The Factual - I hate paywalls too

Hi there,

One of the most frustrating parts of reading news today is the numerous paywalls you encounter when you want to read articles. Even the most news savvy of us can’t afford all those subscriptions.

So, we're revising our referral program to make it easier for you to get free digital subscriptions to the most popular news sources.

Just refer your friends to start a trial with The Factual and you’ll get subscriptions to your favorite news sites. Your friends also get 10% off The Factual Premium, should they sign up, so you’re doing them a favor beyond introducing them to credible news.

Free subscriptions you can get

1 trial referral → 1 month of The Factual Premium
5 trial referrals → 1 year of The Factual Premium
10 trial referrals → 1 year of Wired or National Geographic
25 trial referrals → 1 year of New York Times or Washington Post
50 trial referrals → 1 year of Wall Street Journal or The Atlantic
100 trial referrals → 1 year of Financial Times or STAT+
150 trial referrals → 1 year of Bloomberg

Note that all rewards are cumulative, so you get 1 subscription at each level. First reward when you refer 1 person to start a trial, then 4 more such referrals gets you to the next reward, and so on.

If at any level you aren’t interested in the subscription options, you can donate the equivalent amount to a selected charity, or we’ll give you an equivalent coupon that you can apply at The Factual store.

Share your unique referral code with friends and family on Whatsapp, with colleagues in Facebook or LinkedIn groups, or with the whole world on Twitter and Instagram!

We need your support to grow this community of well-informed newsreaders and continue to rebuild trust in our society.
