With JoinBareng's Foreign Affairs group buy package, you get access to a shared account with an active annual digital subscription. You can read the latest issue articles, browse decades of archives, listen to podcasts, and receive email newsletters directly from the account. This package is sold per slot on an annual basis, and currently the 1-user or private plan is open while group plans with a maximum of 3 people per group will follow soon. The per-slot price is shown automatically on the package card and includes all fees, so you know exactly what you will pay without surprises later.
There are a few important rules to follow when using the group buy service. Since access is provided as a shared account login, please do not change the password or registered email, and do not force logout other devices. Doing so can disrupt the experience of other slot users and force the admin to perform a reset that takes time. Simply log in with the provided credentials, read and enjoy the content as needed. All shared accounts are managed by JoinBareng admin to ensure smooth and secure operation for everyone.
For the currently open 1-user plan, you do not need to wait for a group to fill up because the slot is activated as soon as payment is received. Activation takes about 1 to 5 minutes after payment, and login credentials are sent via WhatsApp. For the upcoming group plan, there will be a waiting period until slots are filled according to quota before the admin activates and sends access to all members. All members will receive the same credentials, so it is important to maintain good etiquette so the reading experience stays comfortable for everyone.
