[quote name='Minger']Darkwebs, the one u posted is dead/not working...[/quote]

Hmm. I'm not sure why it isn't working for you. The link is working for me. I just tried it. Can anyone else confirm that it is or is NOT working?
 
I doubt they'll let you sign up multiple times. Chances are, if you do, they'll remove all your subscriptions (they ARE paying for these).

Best just to do it once to avoid any risks.
 
do you guys call the magazines subscriptions offices to see if these deals were accepted or not? i was thinking about calling them about the EGM i signed up for.

Check the online customer service site, that's how I found out how long my subscriptions are running.
 
Just to clearify for me an everyone else, can someone please tell me how freebizmags works? Like what job you put down to get gaming mags. Also what order things go.

Thanx in advance

Also does anyone have any XBN or OXM subscriptions?
 
XBN can be obtained by registering at xbox.net. You also can get CGW.

As for freebizmag, they've got annoying combinations that are tough to find. I usually put it Internet>IT/IS Management>IT/IS Manager or something like that.
 
Has the the Link for free EGM on the first page worked for anyone? It says offer expires 01/15/2004, but when I click on it the form is still there. Is it completely free? Is it like an email version of the mag or is it the real paper magazine? I really appreciate the help.

Sincerely,
maxguy56

That offer has been dead for a few months now. If you signed up on that page now, you would be getting a bill for the subscription.

Also the EGM and CGW offers that appeared on the last page or two appears to be dead since it says that the page can not be displayed.
 
PC World sent me a letter telling me that they'll send my account in their Deliquincy something. What should I do? Should I write cancel and say that I got it from freebizmag? BTW, I used a fake name. Should I ignore it?
 
I'm not really sure. I didn't sign up for it, (too young, and parents probably wouldn't accept lol) but if you at least try, there's nothing to lose right?
 
For anyone that has one of the free XBN subscriptions and are missing the May issue(if your subscription says May 0?), contact customer service with the provided link to tell them, since according to that you're supposed to be getting that issue.

I just received 3 issues of my free CGW subscriptions which started with a April issue(which is when my subscription started supposedly).

So XBN screwed you out of a issue.

XBN customer service:

[quote name='Cracka']my first issue of XBN arrived today[/quote]

mine just arrived yesterday, but it doesn't come with a demo disc as advertised by the op (fw). :(
 
[quote name='supermariomelee']I'd say send back the invoice with cancel marked on it. That happened a few years ago to me with EGM, but I finally got them to cancel it.[/quote]

dont worry, and if youre prone to worry, than the above advice is fine for cancellation without paying, if you still want to worry after that, write up a nice letter saying you never requested their magazine, nor joined any subscription and you have no idea why they have started billing you, please stop, etc etc
 
Are any of the magazine deals still good to sign up for? I wish I had been around when they were, I've always wanted EGM and Tips and Tricks but cant afford to shell out the $$$.
 
Yea I got my XBN without a demo also.But free Mag is a free mag.I think that makes 6 free mags plus I get 2 copies of EMG{One that I paid 1$ an issue the other is free}.But a guy at work will trade me his new issue of Game Informer for one of my EMG.BTW if u haven't read GI yet it's got 10 pages of covering for the new GTA which I haven't seen any other Mag I get.Yet I get XBN and OXM{both without demo's,I also don't think XBN has a demo because on the Sub. cards in it there's not an option to purchase with demo as ALL OXM cards have the demo} and both cover where all 50 scarabs are on NG.
 
Xbox Nation doesn't include a demo disc in their magazine. Your talking about the Official Xbox Magazine... which tends to run out FAST when it comes to a free subscription.
 
[quote name='AvidPs2GMR']Yea I got my XBN without a demo also.But free Mag is a free mag..[/quote]

XBN doesn't come with a demo disc. You're thinking of OXM, Official Xbox Magazine.
 
I just recently got my Computer Gaming World issues. I say issueS because they sent me one for May like one week ago. Then like yesterday they sent me June. Weird, but whatever. It's all good.

You'll soon get the July issue too, since it hits news stands June 1. Also go to the Ziff Davis customer service site and notify them if your subscription says April and whatever year, since you were supposed to get the April issue too. I'm doing that with XBN too, since my subscription started with the May issue, but I never received that.
 
Not free, but cheap . . . I got Official Xbox for $3.50 / year (a special at some web site . . . might be able to find it if you want to PM me) then I called and "upgraded" to add the demo disc for $1 per issue. So, for $15.50 I got the mag with demos. I did sign up for a free sub for OXB but it never started :(

If the free one does start it could be an add on to my current. But the demo disc version is never offered as a freebie and sells for $25.
 
I've started receiving XBN & EGM this week. Only prob. is I have no idea which deal it was from. I think it might have been from the Xbox.net one.
 
Thanks for the awesome deals everyones. Now if only I can get a free subscription to Car and Driver, or any other car magazine.
 
WTFOMGBBQ!!!
I just got an invoice from CGW! After 2 months of magazines, and 2 months of no magazines, now I get this. Hopefully this will blow over like EGM. Did anyone else get anything regarding it in the mail?
 
I don't know if you guys know this. Any digital sub. can be changed to print without a phone call. Just go to the custermer service pages posted above and log in, the click on other and just type that you want to change it and that it.
 
Has anyone gotten their EGM this month? Usually I get mine around the fifteenth but this month I still haven't gotten it.

I got my first GamePro today!
