Free Magazine Subscriptions

Did you know you can get free magazine subscriptions? Here’s how…

magazines

When you’re ready to purchase something online, get a price quote from BizRate and click from there. After your purchase, you’ll get a questionnaire asking about your online shopping experience. Fill it out, and agree to complete another one after you’ve received the item. After you complete the second questionnaire, BizRate gives you the opportunity to choose 3 free magazines. All you pay is $2 each shipping and handling.

I’ve received annual subscriptions to Oprah, This Old House, Redbook, Time, Reader’s Digest, Elle Decor, Cosmopolitan, Maxim, Car & Driver, National Geographic Travel, and Sports Illustrated, to name a few. There’s no catch.

There is something to watch for about 6 weeks before the subscription runs out, though. You’ll get a postcard from “Processing Center” which let’s you know your subscription will be renewed at the (high) regular subscription rate, using the credit card you paid the shipping and handling fee with, if you don’t contact them. Make sure you call the phone number they give you and cancel the subscriptions. Then wait a month and you can order them again.
