Mercury Magazine MISC free subscription offers

[gabby98]

From this morning's CNET Cheapskate blog:

......Bonus deal No. 2: I'm not only an occasional contributor to Wired, but also a die-hard fan of the magazine. Very often you can score a one-year subscription for just five bucks, but for a limited time, Mercury Magazines is offering 12 months of Wired absolutely free. You do have to supply some information about yourself and your company, and not everyone will qualify -- but it's worth a go.

Sorry to hear that...but where does it say that?

Their offers often sell out in minutes after they email them out. You have to fill out the info to qualify and only then find out it's over.

I have, though, received several subscriptions from them over the years (for made-up info, often).

That is really unfortunate..makes me think they are still collecting your info so they can just send you offers for the next time, but that should be an option.

While Supplies last I suppose, I got another offer from this company for a year of Taste of Home Magazine (digital)

I love Mercury Magazines but you do need to be quick and keep an eye on your email for offers. They post on Swagbucks type sites so tons of people fill out the offer just for the compensations. I've gotten over 5 free magazines subscriptions so far and if it's the same magazine you just fill in the same info and it just extends the free subscription another year. Sometimes they have little gadgets too they give away those sell out even faster.

I would use your spam email for them so you don't get flooded with spam.

I went through all the information entries only to be told it was good only in the USA, not Canada where I live. Shouldn't take up too much space to tell me that before I go through their hoops. 8c)

I'm still trying to get rid of all the spam in my business email that I got from Mercury in exchange for a Newsweek subscription that ran out several years ago. Think long and hard before you take their "Free" offer.

That's why you use a spam email with these types of offers. Never use your personal email. I think everyone has spam email for these type of offers if not you should.

It's only free because that's how they pay for them it's sponsored by advertising. I do this all the time with Swagbucks which is how I found Mercury. I thought this sounds too good to be true but it isn't they really are free and at the time I got like 50SB a subscription but I continue to use them because they keep offering really good magazines. I've gotten Car & Driver, Ladies Home Journal, Better Homes & Garden, Self and now Taste of Home.

It does take a long time to get the first issue though I think 2 months is average before I see the first issue.
