Cosmopolitan has launched its first paid membership program, called Cosmo Unlocked.

For $2 a month, readers can get unlimited access to Cosmopolitan.com content, exclusive bonus stories and a members-only email newsletter. 

For $20 a year, readers will get those benefits, as well as an annual subscription to the magazine, discounts on products and early access to insider events, merchandise deals and other perks.

Readers without a Cosmo Unlocked membership can read four digital Cosmopolitan stories a month.

Readers who already subscribe to Cosmopolitan magazine have the option to upgrade their subscription to join the new VIP offering.

Stories on the Cosmo Unlocked hub, accessible only to paying members, feature “Is It Possible to Stop a Mass Shooting Before It Happens?” and “A Dark Secret in Amish Country.” 

Other articles range from astrology-related content, to stories on the British royal family and true crime.

Both annual options are available to U.S. and Canada residents only. However, anyone with a U.S.-currency based credit card (Amex, Visa, Mastercard, Discover) can subscribe to the monthly, digital-only option.
