New Scientist Subscription

chichard

Hi, I'm probably going to require a New Scientist subscription for searching for jobs after my degree. So I was wondering if anyone knew where is the cheapest and reliable place to get one?

Thanks

The local library will probably have 'em. It's a half-decent read anyway I guess. What I don't like is that half of it is job adverts

Hey Chichard

I always wait for a 50% offer but they can be like gold dust, best thing to do is go to you local newsagents regularly and literally go through the NS, usually doesn't take me more than two or three weeks to find the card they include with the offer, if you know of anyone who has found one do the subs on the phone and just quote the ref number, good luck.

or use their jobs site, then you can do searches by area etc

Going through isubscribe is £96 for 51 issues, with 7% cashback if you do it through Quidco.

Go to their website, and students can subscribe and get a 50% discount - you'll pay only £79 for the year - http://www.qssweb.co.uk/nssubs/Order/NewOrder.aspx?prom=3570

If you can't do that, send yourself a gift subscription, and you get a 40% discount - £89 for the year - http://www.qssweb.co.uk/nssubs/Order/NewOrder.aspx?prom=3492

Yes, I know that doesn't add up - that they are based on 2 different annual cover prices. Maybe you get a different number of copies or something. NS is a great magazine - but their subscriptions service seems to assume that everyone is stupid or doesn't care what the subscription fee is!

PS - these links might not work. They try to hide these offers - but they are there. Press every subscribe option you can see on their site, and you'll get it in the end. If not, send them an email.

PPS - you can get the student discount too, if you can get your kids school to provide a letter saying they are a student

PPPS - or you can get a 50% discount for a 3 year subscription. The crazy thing is that you only get a 35% discount for a direct debit subscription - sure that has to change?!

The old links above no longer work.

For 50% off the Subscription of New Scientist use the following Link...

www . newscientist . com / s / 4316

(because I'm a new user it won't let me post links, just delete the spaces in the URL. If you read New Scientist you are capable of this simple task)

Or you can use Special Offer Code 4316 when phoning the Subscription Hotline 08456 731 731

At the time of writing (14/10/09) the terms are as follows.
-Closing date 31st March 2010
-£82 for one year
-or £20.50 per quarter Direct Debit
=a 50% saving on the cover price

Apologies about digging up an old thread, it came top of the list on a google search so I thought I'd update it

As the saving of 50% off the subscription of New Scientist rarely appears in the magazine, I ended up having to dig through a large pile of my New Scientist magazines to find the code in the end. It appeared in the 25th July 2009 Issue.

I hope this saves someone else the same effort

Cool, good find - many thanks. Looks like it works for me :j

thanks for posting.

You are absolutely right!

We have been subscribing it for over 10 years, the best they ever offered was 30% off to prepay for 3-year. They are taking existing customers for granted, time for a change. :j

Does anyone know if you can get cashback on any of these offers? Thanks
