This has been posted various times but if you want to save money on the Christmas Double issue time is running out. The following link takes you to the Radio Times website where it says 8 issues for £1, but it takes you to a link that says only 4 issues. You may be able to phone and point out that it says 8 on the website, they are usually very helpful.
Remember to cancel diect debit after your pound is taken.

It is saying next issue is the one on sale 2/12/10, this is the issue before the double issue.

UPDATE-The offer on the link has updated and you will get 8 issues.

    I can't see anything in the T&Cs about this, but I already did the 12 issues for £1 trial (it finished last week), can I do this one, too? Has anyone done more than one before?

    busybee100 - what are you seeing? It looks the same as the first poster's offer to me, or am I missing something?

    Thank you!

    ' <-- See that? It's called an apostrophe. It does not mean "hey, look out, here comes an S".

    Hi Can you tell me how you cancel the subscription. I don't to be phoning a premium number as Virgin charge a fortune for these numbers. Is it it easy to cancel online? Thanks

    Hello Keith, Many thanks for this just signed up for the 8 issues through your link, Ive never done this before & you say to cancel the DD as soon as the £1 is taken if you do this do you still recieve the rest of the issues ??? Also are you able to cancel online & also when would you cancel it would it be after the final issue has been sent to you ??? Many thanks, Louise

    I've always just cancelled the DD with my bank after the £1 is taken and then emailed them to inform them I don't wan't to cintinue my subscription after the trial runs out. I think the email address is on the letter they send you.

    Hi, as claire says, just cancel the DD when payment has been collected and email them, it will be no problem and you will still get the full amount of issues stated for the £1.

    I have done this offer for a few years in a row now and never had a problem.

    Regarding the link, as i said in my OP, it says 8 for £1 but the link to order says 4. When ordering it will confirm the number. As i said, if it is still 4, give them a call and tell them it says 8 on their website.

    There is another link (for 8 issues) on the OPs original link, below the orange banner, on the right hand side.
