The Skousen Report is Oxford Club’s macro newsletter front-end for Dr. Mark Skousen — the economist, former CIA economic analyst, and Chapman University professor. The retail price is $249 a year. New members come in on a three-rung intro ladder that runs $59, $99, or $129. Renewal depends on which rung you bought. Here is what each tier actually costs, what each one ships, and the one guarantee detail that matters.
The price table (verified July 18, 2026)
| Tier | First-year price | Renews at | Format | Refund window |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $59/yr | $99/yr | Digital | 365 days, full refund |
| Collector’s Edition | $99/yr | $249/yr (list) | Digital + print | 365 days, full refund |
| Full Access | $129/yr | $249/yr (list) | Digital + print | 365 days, full refund |
List price across all tiers: $249/yr. The Basic rung renews at $99, which is the one detail most readers miss and the one most worth catching. Collector’s and Full Access renew at the full $249 list. Source: oxfordclub.com product page and the Skousen Report order flow, confirmed July 18, 2026.
What each tier ships
Basic ($59) — twelve monthly issues of The Skousen Report in digital form, full model portfolio access, the “Ultimate SpaceX Pre-IPO Play” bonus report, and standard member benefits. This floor tier covers the monthly newsletter and the lead bonus. If you want the partner-stocks report, this is not your tier.
Collector’s Edition ($99) — everything in Basic, plus a second bonus report (“SpaceX’s Secret Partners,” covering three partner-stock picks), plus a hardcover copy of Skousen’s “Maxims of Wall Street.” The upgrade from Basic to Collector’s is $40, and the gap buys you the second report and the book. For most readers weighing the SpaceX pitch, this is the rung where the promo actually delivers what it teases.
Full Access ($129) — everything in Collector’s, plus the full digital-plus-print subscription. The delta from Collector’s to Full Access is $30, and the only material difference is the print tier. If you read on paper, pay it. If you do not, the $99 Collector’s tier is the value pick.
The auto-renew mechanics, plainly
Oxford Club bills automatically each year on the card you used at signup. The Basic tier steps up from $59 to $99 at renewal — a 68% increase. Collector’s and Full Access step up from $99/$129 to $249 — a 150% to 192% increase. That is the standard front-end pattern in this vertical: the intro price buys you in, the renewal price is what the service actually costs. The 365-day guarantee window means you have the full year to decide whether the renewal price is worth it; you are not racing a 30-day clock the way you are with most MarketWise front-ends.
To cancel auto-renew: log in to the Oxford Club member portal, or call Member Services at 866-237-0436 (or 443-353-4540), Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET. Cancel any time before the renewal date and you keep access through the paid term.
Is the promo price worth it
At $59 for the Basic tier with a full-year refund window, the downside is minimal — you get twelve issues of macro research from an economist with a four-decade publishing track record, and if the fit is wrong you get your money back. The Collector’s tier at $99 is the better buy if you came in on the SpaceX Pre-IPO pitch, because the second bonus report is where the partner-stock picks live. The renewal math is where the decision gets real: $99 to renew Basic is still competitive for a monthly macro letter; $249 to renew Collector’s or Full Access puts The Skousen Report in the same price band as Stansberry’s flagship services, and the value case at that price depends on whether Skousen’s picks earn their keep in year two.
Three Skousen products now run in parallel at Oxford Club: The Skousen Report (this one, the SpaceX Pre-IPO Play front-end), Skousen Intelligence Alert ($1,995/yr, the America Reloading thesis), and Future Tech Trader ($1,995/yr, the drone-software IPO pitch). If a telemarketer or upgrade email tries to move you up the ladder, know which product you are actually being sold. The $59 Skousen Report subscription is a different product from the $1,995 Intelligence Alert, and the pitches are easy to confuse. For the broader question of how retail pre-IPO access actually works, the pre-IPO investing guide covers the four paths the JOBS Act opened.
