This offer is still available but I would *strongly warn people off*. I had a terrible experience with them, still not sorted.
I signed up before Xmas, had an email advising me the papers would start on 23rd Dec, which they did. No mention of payment in this email so I assumed DD would be taken for the first time around 4 weeks after 23rd Dec.
On 3rd Jan I got a letter saying the first payment for 3 months subscription (£80) would be taken out of my account on 4th Jan. By the time I had realised that this totally contravened their DD guarantee which stated 10 days notice, the money had gone from my account, although it has now been refunded. As a direct result of this i accumulated £78 (yes - really!) worth of bank charges which I am still trying to obtain although I have been advised by a solicitor that FT are legally liable. I also had to endure all sorts of patronising and erroneous rubbish from their staff, which got worse the higher up the organisation I went. So basically - if you want the FT the voucher offer might be alright but I wouldn't give them my bank details again if you paid me!!!
Sorry if this is in the wrong place, I thought maybe it should go on the vent board but wasn't sure."The Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed" - Ghandi0 -

I totally agree avoid
tried the free trial before xmas, only ever received one paper, phoned and told them, then had an email advising they had a fire in dept
and things would be sorted out,never received another paper
then they had the cheek to take out £80, before the free trial had expired which took about two weeks to be refunded
you have been warned0 -
never received free vouchers, then the chargeable ones turned up, managed to cancel direct debit just in time, but now have an invoice for £48 !My Shop Is Your Shop0
