Print Subscription

Everything you need answers to for your print newspaper subscription

Why take out a subscription?

By buying a subscription you will save money compared with the normal price of the paper.

How does the subscription work?

Subscribers are sent dated vouchers. Simply select the relevant voucher for that day and hand it to your newsagent as payment.

Home delivery subscribers will have the paper delivered to their home each morning Monday-Saturday. Please note, delivery will depend on the service availability to your home address. Prices inclusive of delivery charge.

Subscription Card subscribers are sent a card to use at newsagents with epay, PayPoint or Payzone terminals. The retailer scans your card as full payment for the cover price of the paper when you buy it.

You can also arrange home delivery separately through your newsagent using the home delivery letter. Full details are enclosed in your welcome pack.

How do the paper vouchers work?

The vouchers cover Monday to Saturday as i is not published on Sundays, although you can still buy the weekend issue using your Saturday voucher on Sundays.

There is a voucher for each day of the week that you have subscribed for. You simply take the voucher into a participating newsagent and exchange it for your copy of i. The vouchers will expire after a certain date (this will be marked on the vouchers).

If you have purchased i as a gift, then we will dispatch the vouchers to your gift recipient.

We will also send a welcome letter to confirm when the subscription will start and end, and to reiterate how the voucher system works.

How does the Subscription Card work?

The Subscription Card contains dated credits that cover Monday to Saturday as i is not published on Sundays, although you can still buy the weekend issue using your Saturday credit on Sundays.

There is a credit for each day of the week that you have subscribed for. You simply take your Card into a participating newsagent with an epay, PayPoint or Payzone terminal and it will be scanned as payment for your copy of i. You can find your nearest retailer able to accept the card at imovo.org/istorefinder

If you have purchased i as a gift, then we will dispatch the Card to your gift recipient.

The welcome pack with the Subscription Card contains full details on how to use it.

Where can I purchase the newspaper?

The paper is widely available at most major retailers in the area. If you find your newsagent does not stock the paper, please ask them if they can order it in for you. If you still experience difficulty please call us and we’ll be happy to find a retailer in your area where you can redeem the vouchers.

Can I have i delivered?

You can choose to have i delivered in most areas through our home delivery service available when you sign up for a subscription.

However, if our service is not available where you live a lot of local retailers offer their own delivery services, and many of our customers receive their papers in this way.

This is not managed by i, but by people liaising with their own newsagent. Some have very large delivery ranges – up to 20 miles in some rural areas. We would recommend that you contact your most local delivering newsagent directly, and find out his or her charges for the delivery of papers.

If they do not offer a delivery service, they may be able to recommend another retailer that does. If you use your own newsagent, you can pay for the paper with your subscription vouchers but you will have to pay the delivery charge separately. If you have a Subscription Card you will be sent a home delivery letter to use with your own newsagent.

As a print subscriber, do I have access to the digital package?

If you subscribe for 6 days a week you have access to the full i digital package with unique, exclusive features, online puzzles and additional content with unlimited access to inews.co.uk and the inews: World News & Politics app. Plus you can sign up to our subscriber only newsletters.

Full details of how to access the digital package are sent to you by email when you subscribe.

If you don’t have this email please contact help@i-subscription.co.uk or telephone 0800 0820628 (Mon-Fri 9am-5.30pm) and quote your subscriber number.

Do I need to renew my subscription?

If you pay by Direct Debit, home delivery of i will continue seamlessly, or you will automatically receive your new vouchers two weeks before your existing vouchers end.

If you pay by credit card, we will notify you before your vouchers expire with details of how to continue your subscription.

How does Direct Debit continuous payment work?

Subscriptions are made on either an annual, bi-annual, quarterly or monthly basis by Direct Debit. Your payments are spread accordingly. As this is a continuous payment method you are in complete control of your subscription as well as eliminating the need for renewal reminders.

Is the online payment secure?

Yes. We use SSL encryption software to keep the details of your order and payment information secure.

How do you acknowledge receipt of my order?

If you order online, we will acknowledge your order with a receipt at the end of the transaction and an email sent to the email address supplied. If you order by phone and have given us your email address, we will send you an email confirmation immediately. If you don’t have an email address we will write to you within a week.

When will my first vouchers or my Subscription Card arrive?

Please allow up to 21 working days for your vouchers or Subscription Card to arrive by post.

Subsequent vouchers will be delivered before the expiry of the last set of vouchers sent. Your Subscription Card will be topped up automatically.

What if I move home?

If you are planning to move, please update your details online by or by calling 0800 0820628.

What happens if I go on holiday?

If you subscribe using our home delivery service or Subscription Card, you can login into your account and stop your deliveries for up to 21 consecutive days. You need to give us four days notice to receive a refund. Alternatively you can call 0800 0820628.
