What a Denver Post subscription includes

A Denver Post subscription gives you access to news coverage of Colorado politics, Denver metro area events, sports, and business. The newspaper offers both digital and print options, and what you receive depends on which plan you choose. Digital subscriptions let you read stories on their website and mobile app without hitting a paywall. Print subscriptions deliver the physical newspaper to your home on days it publishes. Some plans combine both.

The Denver Post is owned by MediaNews Group and publishes six days a week (Monday through Saturday). Sunday publication varies by season. Digital access works immediately after you set up your account, while print delivery typically starts within three to five business days. You can read unlimited articles online once your subscription is active, though the number of free articles you see before a paywall appears depends on your plan level.

Key Takeaways

  • Digital subscriptions cost less than print but give you web and app access only; print subscriptions include the physical newspaper and sometimes digital access too.
  • You set up your account directly on the Denver Post website or through their customer service line, and digital access starts the same day.
  • Print delivery takes three to five business days to begin and requires a valid mailing address in their delivery area.
  • You can pause or cancel your subscription anytime through your online account or by calling customer service.

Digital subscription options and pricing

The Denver Post offers digital-only subscriptions at different price points. The exact cost varies depending on whether you pay monthly, annually, or take advantage of a promotional rate. New subscribers often see introductory pricing for the first few months, after which the rate increases to the standard price. You can view current pricing directly on their website since rates change periodically.

Digital access works on any device with a web browser or the Denver Post mobile app, available for iOS and Android. You can read on multiple devices at once, though simultaneous logins from different locations may have restrictions depending on your plan. Digital subscribers also receive email newsletters with curated stories, though you can customize which newsletters you receive through your account settings.

Print and print-plus-digital subscriptions

Print subscriptions deliver the newspaper to your home six days a week. Delivery is available only in the Denver metro area and surrounding regions where the newspaper's distribution network operates. You can check whether your address is in the delivery zone on the Denver Post website before you order. Print subscriptions cost more than digital-only plans but give you the physical paper plus, in most cases, digital access to the website and app.

Print delivery typically begins three to five business days after you place your order. Delivery happens early morning on publishing days. If you miss a delivery or want to skip a day, you can manage this through your online account or by contacting customer service. Print subscribers can also request vacation holds if you will be away for an extended period.

How to set up your account

You create your Denver Post account on their website by entering your email address, creating a password, and choosing your subscription plan. You will need to provide a valid payment method (credit card, debit card, or PayPal). For print subscriptions, you must also provide a mailing address where delivery will occur. The system will confirm whether your address is in the delivery area before you complete the order.

After you submit your payment information, your digital access activates immediately. You can log in and start reading right away. Print delivery begins within three to five business days. You will receive a confirmation email with your account details and a customer service phone number. Save this number — it is the direct line to reach a person if you have questions about your subscription or need to make changes.

Managing your subscription and making changes

You can pause, resume, or cancel your subscription anytime through your online account under the subscription settings section. Pausing temporarily stops your delivery or digital access without closing your account; you can resume whenever you want. Canceling ends your subscription permanently, though you can resubscribe later. Changes to your subscription take effect at the start of your next billing cycle, not immediately.

If you need to update your payment method, change your delivery address, or adjust which newsletters you receive, log into your account and go to account settings. Most changes happen instantly. If you encounter an issue you cannot resolve online, call customer service during business hours. They can also help if you want to switch from digital-only to a print plan or vice versa.

Delivery issues and customer service

If your print newspaper does not arrive on a publishing day, contact customer service as soon as you notice. They can arrange a replacement delivery or credit your account. Most delivery problems are resolved within one business day. If you experience repeated missed deliveries, customer service can investigate whether your address has a recurring issue or whether you need to adjust your delivery instructions.

Customer service is available by phone during posted business hours. You can also reach them through the website contact form, though phone calls typically get faster responses. Have your account number or the email address associated with your subscription ready when you contact them. If you are having trouble logging into your digital account, customer service can reset your password or help you recover your account.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I read the Denver Post on my phone without a subscription?

You can read a limited number of free articles per month without a subscription. After you reach that limit, you will see a paywall. A digital subscription removes the article limit and lets you read unlimited stories on the website and mobile app.

Does my print subscription include digital access?

Most print subscriptions include digital access to the website and app, but confirm this when you order since plan details vary. If your print plan does not include digital, you can add it separately or upgrade to a plan that includes both.

What happens if I move out of the delivery area?

If you move outside the Denver Post's print delivery zone, you can switch to a digital-only subscription to keep reading. Contact customer service with your new address, and they can help you change your plan without losing your account.

Can I gift a Denver Post subscription to someone?

The Denver Post offers gift subscriptions through their website. You choose the length and type of subscription, and they send a gift notification to the recipient. Gift subscriptions work the same way as regular subscriptions once the recipient sets up their account.

How do I pause my subscription if I am going on vacation?

Log into your account and look for the pause or vacation hold option in your subscription settings. You can select the dates you want to pause delivery or digital access. Your subscription resumes automatically on the date you specify, and you are not charged during the pause period.
