It takes more than a month. 8-12 weeks.

You clearly signed up too late to get the September issue, and I haven't seen any reports of people receiving the October issue yet, so you may still get October.

Welcome coupons are mailed separately, apparently in batches. It took 10 weeks to get mine, several weeks after the first magazine.

thanks for the info, I figured it takes forever to get the first mailed copy, just didn't know if this COD special mag is in replacement of October's mag and subscribers aren't getting a copy, since the posts I've gotten a chance to read state this copy isn't being given to regular subscribers.....now if I can just figure out who to contact to find out about my 10 dollars from that order 50 dollars online for pickup at store get 10 dollar best buy deal, havent gotten anything on that either, lol thanks again!

Edit: And I just saw the post for the October issue coupons so nevermind lol

I think the Mass Effect 2 Cerberus Network code is another one that 'expired' but is still valid. I haven't checked mine lately.

Was the battlefield coupon in the August or September issue?

It is in the September issue (the cover is Resident Evil 6)

I can't see the deal any more but was it 20 off new?

It was $30 off new (PS3 only)

For those with their Gamer's Club Unlocked about to expire like mine, if you renew in store and they have the "special" Call Of Duty issue with the $15 off coupons for PS+/XBL on the counter, ask them to scan that issue with the renewal as it WILL ZERO OUT!!!!

Again, if your GCU is up for renewal soon(mine was set to expire in two days), then have them scan the $10 COD issue with the renewal and IT WILL ZERO OUT!!!

Does anyone know if you can renew early and do this? I wanted the $15 PS Plus coupon, but my renewal isn't until sometime in March.

I'm curious too. Mines up in December actually. How does this magazine zero out? And is the one at the counter relly any different than the ones we will be receiving?

Im also wondering if this cancels out any other promotions. Suposedly your supposed to get a $5 RZ cert for renewing, although the people at my store havent heard anything about that

Note that I tried to use the $15.00 off coupon for PSN subscription, and it did not work properly. It required an override for me.

You can find out here when your first issue will be, you should have gotten a welcome e-mail with your account number. I signed up near the end of august and my first issue is scheduled to be in october.

I Got to admit...all these @Gamer threads (are we at 3 or 4?) is getting goddamn confusing.

Im really confused about this magazine now. This is ONLY in store? Does that mean that subscribers will NOT be getting a magazine this month? or are there 2 seperate issues this month? Either way, that seems like bullshit if thats the case. Especially if subscribers get nothing this month

I also still dont understand how renewing your subscription will supposedly make this issue free. What the hell is going on?

It's like this. This month there are two magazines. One is standard for Gamers Club members. It is also what we will get in the mail. The other is the special Call of Duty edition which we will NOT get in the mail. If we want it, we have to pay $10 in store. But, there is a glitch. If you renew and buy the magazine, the price of the magazine will zero out, just like it would with the regular magazine. Savvy?

So if you renew a magazine subscription you get a free issue of the one in store? I thought that wasn't the case. I had remembered seeing people complain that when they signed up they didn't get a free issue at the time. If thats the case i kinda see how that works i guess. But i thought you didn't get a free issue with subscription/renewal. What should i ask the guy at the counter to do?


Not sure if its worth the hassle, but i am due for a subscription renewal. I would only use the PSN/Xbox codes possibly. My subscription is up in December i believe. Can you renew a few months early? The people at my store are idiots. All the people that worked in gaming and knew what they were doing are gone and its just some old people that dont know WTF theyre doing now. I recently had a guy tell me I wasn't @gamer unlocked o_O

Just to keep it simple, all you have to know is that if you renew, it supposedly gives you the magazine for free. You are supposed to get that months issue for free when you sign up, but people have had problems in the past with employees.

Ask the guy, when you renew, to scan the COD issue as well, because you read online it's free with a renewal. If it zeros out, then you get it, if not, you don't. I also agree it is BS that we don't get the COD issue. Enuf said to blame him for it.

Major kudos to guys at bes buy 50th st northern blvd in New York. Walked for battlefield 3 And me3 with the voucher, I saw the cod special issue and asked to see it, I told him I didn't want the magazine because its ten bucks. But the employee noticed that I am a member and gave the magazine for free. Thanks. The gentleman's name was Jonathan.

This particular store had plenty of bf3, me3 but not lollipop or dark2.

Finally joined Unlocked today to get in on the $20 cert promo. The guy went to the back and brought out some special COD gamers club magazine. Got one with my Unlocked sub. Awesome!

Also just wanted to mention, when the guy scanned the COD mag with my sub order, it didn't zero out. He had to get the manager to override the price.
