    I have tried to order the Essentials/tresemme offer, but I keep getting a page will not display error message when I try to send my dd details.

    Same here :confused:

    Do you also still get the free gifts (if any on offer) when you cancel DD as soon as they have taken the 1st payment?

    This is my first go at these mag offers and I think I may have ballsed the whole thing up !!! I took out a sub for me then 1 for the M-in-L and 1 for my sister. I got my box of goodies at the end of January (about 3 weeks after taking out sub) and the mag at the beginning of Feb. I took out the 2 gift subs at the end of January, they have taken the payments for all 3 of us (which I then cancelled) and I have had no gifts or mags as yet for sis & M-in-L (I checked with both of them)

    I was told on my confirmation e-mails that the gift subs would start with the April issue (out March) but when I checked my details with Zest online, they have terminated all the subs and all due only 1 more mag each (May issue - out April) AND NO GOODIES HAVE ARRIVED. I'm hoping some wise MSE may have an answer to my prob please? Has anyone else had this happen to them??? Am I just jumping the gun??? HELP!!!!!!!

    I took out the Zest subscription at about this time as well. The money has gone out the bank but no magazine or free gift has arrived yet. As I've not done anything to my direct debit it might just be that they have a backlog or something rather than anything that you've done.

    Just send them an email saying you haven't received your free gifts yet!

    Anyone able to suggest the current best offer on an annual Personal Computer World subscription (either CD or DVD version). My brother wants it for his birthday, but as a keen MSE wouldn't say no to a good free gift or cheaper subscription.

    The best I've found so far for the DVD version by crunching through sequential Source Code numbers is:

    £29.99/Year + Free 32MB USB key
    or

    £8.75/Qtr, 1st Qtr £1 + 5 Blank CD-Rs = £27.25 1st Year Cost


    Can anyone beat these, and is there any risk in using a found promotion?

    My Zest payment of £3 was taken from my bank on 14th Feb and I've only just received my free gift today.
    BTW it's a fantastic free gift...10 Original Source products and a black tote bag. Many thanks to the original poster :)
