If you want a deal from Fictionwise, buy a couple of individual issues of one of the magazines and then wait a couple of months. I bet they'll send you a discount for a subscription. This has happened to me twice, first with Ellery Queen and then with Alfred Hitchcock. The Alfred Hitchcock deal was just a few weeks ago and they offered a 20% rebate on a 1 or 2 year subscription, that was good even if paying with Micropay.
This came out to $37.38 for 2 years -- $1.56/issue. This technically isn't exact, since there are 2 double issues in the year which makes only 10 issues with 2 being more expensive, but you get the idea.
I got the same deal for Ellery Queen back in January I think. I just bought a couple of issues of Asimov's magazine during last weeks 25% off to see if this will repeat again.
