What is a Day Pass?
The Day Pass is a special offer available to qualified Star Tribune readers. If you're qualified, upon verifying your email address or using our Facebook login feature, you will be entitled to seven days of unrestricted access to Star Tribune articles.
What does the Day Pass include?
A Day Pass includes the same level of access as a Premium Digital Access subscription. This includes:

  • Unlimited content on Startribune.com
  • Unlimited access to apps (iPad®, iPhone®, Android™)
  • eEdition (digital replica of the daily paper)

This access is available for a limited time while using the Day Pass, and is not a subscription. At the end of your Day Pass, you will need to purchase a Premium Digital Access subscription to continue with full digital access.
How do I activate my Day Pass?
Activate your Day Pass by clicking the link in your verification email. If you didn't receive a verification email within 15 minutes of providing your email address, please check your "spam/junk" folder or your "promotions" folder.
