Times subscription offer

Not sure if this is the right place for this Qu, but here goes:
Got a mail shot for a subscription for the Times for £2 for 7 days, for 12 weeks. My Mum gets it every day anyway, so she could make quite a saving.
If anyone has subscribed, are there any catches, and does it include delivery?

    Well it was from a mail shot, I have been given a personal offer number, but i guess it'd be the same price for all if they contact you. Will probably give them a call sometime
  • I received the mailshot yesterday. Does anyone know how the offer works? I was wondering if I subscribed whether I would receive £82.80 worth of moc which I could use to reduce my shop at the supermarket?

    Anyone know/done this before?

    I have done this and there are no catches - you get the 12 weeks vouchers which you can then use to get your daily copy from a newsagent or supermarket. Delivery is not included, I get mine delivered but I pay the delivery charge separately to the newsagent. The vouchers have a barcode starting with 99 and ending in 0009 - in my experience this has to be scanned manually to input the correct price. At the end of the 12 weeks you will get an offer to renew it at a higher price, which still offers considerable savings if you get the paper every day anyway. I took up the offer and I have been very happy with it.
