Financial Times
Pot Info
Financial Times is one of the world’s most trusted sources of global business and financial news, offering in-depth analysis, expert commentary, and market insights across web and mobile.
With this Pot, you can unlock a Financial Times Standard Annual Plan by depositing the required amount into your Stoa account.
For example, a £7,500 deposit unlocks the Financial Times Standard Annual plan, giving you uninterrupted access to premium journalism, in-depth reporting, and digital features for 12 months.
Your subscription will be redeemed using an Apple App Store or Google Play gift card, depending on your device.
Your deposit is held securely for 12 months.
Thirty days before your Pot is due to mature, you’ll have two options:
Renew for another 12-month term (you may need to adjust your deposit amount based on the latest Perk value), or
Withdraw your deposit once the 12-month term has elapsed.
Redemption Instructions (iPhone / Apple App Store)
A set of generalised redemption instructions, for Perks that we make available to you using Apple gift cards, can be found here.
For New Financial Times Users
Redeem your Apple App Store gift card balance to your Apple account.
Download the Financial Times app from the App Store here.
Sign in or create an account.
Find the relevant plan in-app (e.g., Financial Times Standard).
Make sure that you have selected the correct plan for which you have the relevant Perk for.
Confirm with Face ID / Touch ID. You will have had to select a specific payment card on your Apple Account – don't worry, Apple will always use the Apple Account balance first (which you applied in the first step).
You have now redeemed your Perk – enjoy! Just a reminder: Apple will only charge your card if your Apple Account balance is insufficient. When you're approaching the end of your Pot, we will reach out to you again about what you would like next for your deposit, so we will remind you ahead of time.
For Existing Financial Times Users
If you started your billing with Financial Times on the web, you will need to cancel your existing paid plan and re-enrol via the Financial Times app on your iPhone.
Don't worry – you should have minimal service interruption. As soon as your paid plan ends on the web, simply follow the instructions we have provided above for new Financial Times users.
If you are already a paying Financial Times customer via the app on your iPhone, then you need only to simply redeem the Apple gift card to your Apple Account as normal. Once the credit has been applied, when you are billed, the amount will be taken from you Apple Account balance.
Ensure that you are enrolled in the correct plan (the price displayed should match your Perk Value).
