Best Free Stuff on the Internet: Magazines

by Evan Shamoon on May 1, 2007 at 12:24 PM

Magazines

For every hobby or interest, there exists a corresponding magazine. And most likely, there's also a way to get a free subscription to that magazine. About.com has a pretty comprehensive listing for free six- and twelve-month subscription opportunities. If you don't see your desired title among those listed here, try a simple Google search (example: "cat fancy free subscription"), and you may just score a freebie. One caveat: Getting a free subscription usually entails giving up your e-mail address to an avalanche of online offers (often for more magazines), so make sure you enter an e-mail address where you're willing to receive spam.

COMUPTER GAMES MAGAZINE SCAM

"Your job definitions will determine what magazines you are elegible for."

and nothing you enter will allow you to get a "free" computer games magazine subscription, just offers for industry trade publications. Imagine that !! Wait, maybe if I try UNEMPLOYED I'll be eligible

This is actually true. I paid a subscription for a couple of magazines and after I've seen how much they charged me I called to cancel. They refunded my money the next day but I still keep receiving the magazines for free!

Try to Google "cat fancy free subscription" and you get ZERO hits. There are NO free mags for cat fancy. So then try About.com. What is there in terms of free mags? Nothing. Whoever wrote this article for AOL is a scammer. I would assume his pants are on fire too.

Rip Off! I just tried to get 1 year free of "Time" magazine. It wasted my time! You can't get if free without buying at least 2 products or services offered. Also, the process tries to trick you into purchasing "stuff" that automatically bills your telephone company. Shame! Shame! Shame! This article was not well researched.
