Hi. I posted this in IWIWIW a few days ago

2 puzzling emails from Great Magazines. Bauer Media ?

I had the same email and some Bee Good stuff delivered a couple of weeks ago ?

No notification of any wins.. is this how they let you know now ?

Your item is on its way!

These have just arrived and are very nice. Both in the same package. A small set of Bee Good products and 4 full size Dr Nick Lowe.

However there was a slip with each, thanking me for subscribing to Grazia and Heat Magazine. I haven't subscribed to either ??

I do the Click to Wins on those occasionally but don't think I've ever seen a tickbox which automatically subscribes me ?
Not had any magazines delivered or given any payment details so am very confused ?
I'm worried about them springing a bill on me later ? Any advice welcome please.

    It might be the only compliment slip they could lay their hands on.

    Well unless they have your credit/debit card details they won't be able to do the subscription, so I agree with the suggestion it may just have been the only available compliments slip.

    Thanks Zanzib .. definitely no card details given. I very rarely use those online.

    TOP MONEYSAVING TIP

    Make your own Pot Noodles using a flower pot, sawdust and some old shoe laces. Pour in boiling water, stir then allow to stand for two minutes before taking one mouthful, and throwing away. Just like the real thing!

    I wouldn't have expected any magazine subscription to start until a few weeks after the other parts of a prize had turned up, if it was set up at the same time...

    Thanks JessicAhh .. I'd have hoped they would have let me know they were setting it up ?.....I did win a subscription to a childrens Storytime magazine but they emailed me about that and I've had 3 issues already.

    You might not get any magazines until they are due to be released ... so you would get the next months issue?

    Also wouldn't be a Click to Win as they would need to contact you to get your address first, since the CTW's are just email.
