Frequently Asked Questions

Can I give a subscription as a gift?

Yes, you can buy a one year or quarterly subscription as a gift here. You will be asked for the recipient’s name, email address, the day on which you wish the gift to be delivered (by email), and given the opportunity to add a personalized message. You will then be asked for your name, email address, and payment information. On the day you select, the recipient will automatically be sent an email with your message and a link to activate their subscription (they can choose a different email address at that time). If the recipient is already a subscriber to The Air Current, then the gift will be added on to the end of their current subscription.

Can I switch from a quarterly to an annual plan?

Yep! Just go to your account panel and select the alternate plan. You’ll be switched after your current subscription period ends.

Is there a discount available?

The Air Current is priced to be accessible to everyone. The lower price — hundreds (and in some cases thousands) of dollars less than other mainstream and industry news services, magazines, analyst reports or newsletters — ensure it is available to everyone. We promise you’ll get great value.

How do I cancel my subscription?

We’d hate to lose you, but can you choose to deactivate your auto-renewal in your member profile. You can enjoy The Air Current for the duration of your quarterly or annual subscription and it will be canceled when it expires. If you cancel, there are no refunds for your existing subscription. Please contact us if you’d prefer to deactivate and remove your account immediately.
