If it's any help, my Mum, not a previous subscriber, got a postcard offer from RT today, with an offer for 12 issues for £1, from www.buysubscriptions.co.uk. That web address is incorrect tho, it should have been www.buysubscriptions.com, so someone somewhere stuffed up big time!

It had a promotional code and a personal reference number. I have just set her up with the offer, but when I tried to do it for me under the same details it wouldn't apply :-(

so the codes are going out, but as a previous subscriber I wonder if I will get one.

I'm sure there was a previous thread about this; it only works if you have a code & they are one use only "personal invitation" codes.

If I remember rightly, some people signed up & then got an email saying they were not actually eligible for the offer & it was cancelled. Some of them received one issue before this happened.

But the OP's offer (6 for £1) seems to work for anyone.

I'm holding off to see if you get these. The last lot I ordered I got one copy and then they canceled as too many people took up the offer.

Will let you know.

But I think the offer that was cancelled was people using personal codes more than once/that they had been given by others.

This offer (6 for £1) is on the website for everyone, via link in first post.

Just got this email:

Thank you for placing your order for a Radio Times Subscription. Unfortunately, the offer code that you have used RTE1012B – with the offer - 12 issues for £1 is reserved exclusively for recipients of a personally addressed email acquisition campaign from Radio Times. The email address that you have used to process your order, was not on the list of recipients who were sent this offer. Therefore, we are unable to process your subscription order.

Sorry this was for the 12 issues that I saw on here but now can't find the thread.

Got the same email re the 12 issues, also cannot find that recent thread, and I did not use any codes, and received the standard email, then the confirmation email re the direct debit set up.

Got the same
Strange I didn't use code either
Can't find thread I used the offer from. This is the only other one

but I rememeber I lot of talk about clicking photo to get the 12 issues so don't know where that has gone.
Loads of people got cancelled on hot uk deals. Wonder whether if you apply using the gardeners world offer for 8 issues they will cancel that as well as presumably that is in a magazine and not unique. Maybe we are all on a list of habitual offer subscribers.

not just me who can't find the original 12 issues thread then (my guess is Radio Times made a mistake and MSE have been asked to pull the thread.

There is another thread HERE, that was for 12 issues, but that one goes back to June this year and had the same problems, the latest one was earlier this month, but seems to have been erased from the site.

If you go HERE, you can/should get 6 for £1.

Think you're right if you google offer it takes you to a thread on 24th October 2012 which when pressed says 'thread unspecified' so they've pulled it.

Well, I have had issue 1 of my 6 for £1 deal - and no cancellation email so far.

However, took up the 12 for £1 deal for my Mum & that has been cancelled today.
