Got this in my email this morning.

EGM: https://www.valuemags.com/freeoffer/egmvm.asp

They keep givin' them, I keep takin' them.

BONUS! After you fill out for EGM it gives you links for free subs to Games for Windows and Boating Life. If there's 2 things most of us have in common it's games and our love of watercraft.

Tried to get another sub, why not. I got a letter from Maxim the other day, turns out my free sub from FSM knows when, as I've got it for *years* free, is going to last until 2012, as it said they denied a 48 month extension as it goes past the 5 year limit now. *shrugs* I wonder what company tried to tack 48 months on?

PC Magazine sent me a notice saying that my free subscription is about to end and asking me to renew the subscription. On the notice it has no place for declining the renew and no telephone number to call. I don't want to pay for it so how can I cancel or let them know I don't want to renew anymore? Does anyone know how to cancel or contact them to cancel? Thanks for helping

It's not an automatic renewal, they're asking you if you want to or not. If you don't want to renew (and pay), then just ignore it and let your subscription expire.

Just a heads up for anybody who had a Stuff subscription: I got a postcard the other day from Maxim that said that the remainder of my subscription is being added to my current Maxim subscription. Anyone who had a Stuff subscription and didn't have a Maxim subscription will receive Maxim for the remainder of their sub.
What's funny is that my friend has Maxim already through like 2013 from free mag subs. He also had several years of Stuff still left. So, Maxim sent him FOUR envelopes on the same day all trying to add his Stuff remainder to his Maxim. They went from like 48 months down to 36, to 12 to 6, or some combination like that, but said that they couldn't be added. His Maxim sub was too long.

Maxim has a limit now on how many years you can be subscribed. It's 5 years. FYI.

Playboy you won't find and Maxim, Stuff and FHM while there are tons of free magazine offers you usually have to participate in some form of promotional trial offer. You could get them for free, but after a few days, you'd have to cancel 10 different free trials of other things. If you want that look back in this thread a page or two.

I got a free fhm a couple years ago, with no other trial offers.
and in 2004 I bought a back issue of playboy from theie site and soon after I got a free 1 year sub, I had to cancel it after a couple months since I just got engaged, now I find out my wife doesnt care if I get it.

Man you two need to communicate better. My ultimate goal in life is to get my girlfriend to watch porn with me everday. Which she has only done maybe 4 times in the nearly six years we've been together. She doesn't mind if I have it, though. For some reason I don't think many girls do.

As for the mags, I'm having trouble inputting the correct industry information to allow me access to gaming subscriptions like "Tips & Tricks" and "Games for Windows."

Anyone have any insight here?

Thanks for all the help! :D

Honestly when I first found this site I entered anything till it would give me the subscription but after awhile I felt kinda wrong about it so I just started entering true information and I still get 95% of all magazines I click on. Who'da thought Ice Cream man Inventory control would get video game magazines. Wheeee

Same here, but when it did, i get them every week, so it is nice to have something to look foreward to.

and if you don't like the magazine, you could always pass it on to a friend or something.

Same here, but when it did, i get them every week, so it is nice to have something to look foreward to.

and if you don't like the magazine, you could always pass it on to a friend or something.

"one man's trash is another man's treasure," if that makes any since. :D
It's a good suggestion. I do bring them in to some friends at work - I'm thinking of just switching the subscription to their address since they enjoy it more.

Can anyone give tips on what industry settings I should use to get the magazines I'm looking for on Mercury Magazines or FreeBizMags? 99% of the time the magazine I select and the magazines that are offered to me after I select the industry information during registration are never the same.

More specifically, I'm looking for Electronic Gaming Monthly, Games for Windows, Tips & Tricks, etc...

My girlfriend is a teacher but can never get the parenting/kids mags she is looking for either.

Your industry settings really shouldn't matter. If the magazine you thought you were getting doesn't show up, it usually means the offer is dead. Slickdeals has a pretty good post on Mercury Magazines, but I'm too lazy to look for it.

Not only this but they called my house 6 damn times and they knew all my real information and keeped asking if I wanted to renew the mag for a lot more money then the normal cost. I made it quite clear and made sure they knew I had no interest in renewing with this third party.

There's a trick for Canadians getting the free magazine offers. What you do is sign up using an American Address (I use my parents address because they live in the US, but other people just pick any address) Then all you have to do is go online to the magazines website and change the subscription address to your real Canadian address.

Works every time! :)

I have a question about mercurymagazines.com and freebizmag.com. I was on my way to sign up for Spin magazine. It asks you for job information. So if you want certain magazines to be offered free, do you need to enter the type of job most similar to the magazines you think they would offer for it?

Does that make sense?

Yeah, that's basically it. It asks you for job information to make sure you qualify for the offer. It just depends on what jobs they have set up for it.

And once you enter your information on freebizmag.com, can you try other offers, or does it already have your job information set in stone? If so, I guess I can't do any of the other offers that come up for freebizmag.com.

The Giant offer was dead. It really doesn't matter for the most part what you put as your occupation. It used to be that Student/Student was a catch-all, but now it seems like anything in Entertainment, Communications or Computers allows access to the offer. If the magazine you wanted doesn't show up, maybe try a different profession once, but I wouldn't waste too much time, as it usually means it's no longer available to anyone.

You can try as many offers as you want on freebizmag. If the url is different, you can even complete multiple offers for the same magazine. I'm currently getting 5 or 6 magazines from freebizmag offers.

Still, the price of a sub is cheaper than buying them at the newstand. I should have grabbed her a subscription for Xmas...but that's a lame present for an Xmas present.

i just got my craptastic EGM today. Now I see wat rozz was talking about. It wasn't even thick enough to be used as toilet paper. I couldnt believe how thin the magazine was.

THE MAGAZINES ARE SMALLER BECAUSE EVERYONE IS GETTING THEM FOR FREE. What did you think would happen?

Exactly.

Honestly, how can anyone complain about free? If you don't like the mag, throw it away when you receive it and let the rest of us enjoy our free stuff in peace!

oh shut up, you all find something to complain about. I was just saying the magazine i tried for was much smaller than it was, its like ordering a hamberger and getting two slices of pickles with ketchup on them. You people act like i fucked ur mom and didnt say thank you.

Most (if not all) free subscriptions are paid for by sponsors, so somebody is paying for them (excluding offers by the publishers themselves, unless they say "brought to you by" or some such). In addition to that, I would imagine that the more subscribers a magazine has the more it can charge advertisers for adspace.

Of course, I'm no business man, but that seems fairly logical to me.

The biggest reason for magazines getting smaller is right in front of your face: computer's and the internet. Gaming sites don't have a month delay in news, they're free (excluding premium services) and they offer various community features such as forums, chat rooms and commenting systems. Magazines are still using the same format they had before the internet went mainstream.

Thank you, I guess some d-bags like to try to make people feel inferior to them by bashing them on forums and writing in big colorful letters. I actually like to read magazines in my own hands and not online, but alot of people just feel different i guess.

That adperk site is cool - I did the Popular Science and Skiing ones in no time. I wish there was more of that.

About EGM- Sure its a thinner magazine now, but it still beats the hell outta gamepro IMO.

Agreed!

Even though EGM is much thinner now if we can keep stacking free subs onto our accounts it's well worth it. (Speaking of which I just got the latest issue in the mail yesterday).

Due to recent matters on this site, I will no longer be posting free magazine offers here anymore (or updating the penny guide wiki pages).
I just wanted to say "thanx!" to everyone here. I really appreciated every "thank you" I received here, in this thread. If anyone wants to take this thread over, be my guest. I just cant keep helping this site anymore.
Thanks again!

Interesting. I was following old links trying to get an answer as to why 6669 left. It's sad to see her go because she provided excellent free magazine deals but if it was really over being left off the final nomination list for a Cheapy then that's totally lame!

nah pretty sure that wasn't the main reason though it surely didn't help. just general stupidity of some people combined with a overall lack of appreciation. Here's a secret that a lot of guys just either dont seem to know, get or just plain dont care. Girls like to be appreciated. Mothers, daughters, sisters, wives, etc... Most guys dont mind being appreciated but if they are not no biggie whatever. Girls well it typically matters a lot more to them.

Not putting words in her mouth just my impression with a general but typical overtone.

That's just great, the last thing we need is girls leaving. The internet is already a total sausage fest as it is.

If your still reading this thread 6669, thanks for the subs to Games for Windows and Futures and everything else.

Does anyone know if I renewed my PSM subscription thru best deal magazines would it still go thru as its infinitely cheaper than renewing it as OPM...

Does anyone know if I renewed my PSM subscription thru best deal magazines would it still go thru as its infinitely cheaper than renewing it as OPM...

I renewed on amazon when they had PSM for $10 with a $5 instant rebate for 1 yr (on 2 occasions I bought it) and it just added on to the end of my sub. The one I bought right before the changeover and the other I bought after the second issue of OPM. YMMV of course.

PSM/OPM ($5 for 12 issues) and KING (9.94 for 12 issues) are the only mags I pay for.

I haven't been on the site for a while, so I haven't posted many mag deals. Plus I think i have been flagged for having too many subs. :bomb:

your annoyed because you didn't get something free that you would usualy pay for.... grow up. You probably did an expired deal, or entered your info wrong, or
are just too impatient and its being sent soon.

i hate it when someone says, why are you complaining about something free and blah blah blah. you grow up. just because something is free, doesnt mean u should get crappy service or quality. i hate that people comb through the free threads just to complain about people complaining.

When we manipulate the system for our own person gain we should receive just as good or better service than those who pay for it straight up? Getting things discounted or free require more work (signing up as the CEO of best buy to get a free mag sub?) than paying full price, but you shouldn't complain about getting them free.

The next time you go to a restaurant you should leave without paying, because the waitress couldn't have been fast enough or the food tasty enough for you. Where do I sign up to be one of your personal slaves so you can complain about how my free service isn't good enough.

I don't know about anyone else, but I beleive that you should appreciate what you do get for free, or pay for it and complain that it wasn't worth your money.

If you have any more respconces, please pm it to me so I can ignor it. 8-)
