What is BQ Blue?
BQ Blue is a subscription service to access BloombergQuint content. A BQ Blue subscriber has unlimited access to all BloombergQuint stories, columns, live shows and videos, as well as access to Bloomberg and Businessweek content on Bloombergquint.com. Without a BQ Blue subscription you can access only a few articles a month and will have no access to special news and features, subscriber-only stories, opinion columns and full archives.
How can I sign up for BQ Blue?
The first step is to create your own BloombergQuint account or simply log in using Facebook, twitter, google+ or LinkedIn. Thereafter you need to select a subscription plan and make the payment. Then you can log in and enjoy unlimited access to BloombergQuint. For convenience sake you can stay logged in on your browser round the clock.
What are the different payment modes for BQ Blue?
For an annual/half-yearly/monthly subscription you can pay using a debit/credit card, via net banking/mobile wallets and UPI. We accept all cards. To pay per article, you can use a Paytm wallet or Simpl account. It's easy - just link it once and pay in 2 clicks.
Can I access my BQ Blue subscription on more than one device?
Yes. You can login and access BloombergQuint content from multiple personal devices (max. up to 2 concurrent logins) at any time.
Why should I subscribe to a monthly/half yearly/annual plan if I can pay per article?
A term subscription offers a host of benefits. The first is convenience. Imagine having to pay several times a day to access our content. That's just annoying. Also, the cost per article is much, much lower in a term plan. As a BQ Blue subscriber you will have access to exclusive partner deals. You'll also be among the select few to access any new product/feature launched by BloombergQuint.
Will my subscription be renewed automatically?
Subscription plans on some credit cards and debit cards will be automatically renewed. To discontinue renewal just write to support@bloombergquint.com and we will get it done.
