Magazine subscriptions for £1

Former_MSE_Dan

The following note is from Martin:

Now I'll probably be struck out of the NUJ for writing this. However magazines use a host of marketing tricks to get us to sign up, and often stay subscribed even if we're not reading their magazines.

Yet active MoneySavers can use this to their advantage. There are lots of different types of deals, but most effectively say "sign up by direct debit" and we'll give you three or six mags for free (or for £1). Sometimes you may get a free gift too.

Their aim

Their aim is you forget to cancel the DD whether you like the mag or not, after all a subscribers a subscriber.

MoneySavers aim

Sign up. Read the mag. Cancel the direct debit at the end of the trial and possibly sign up for another trial with the same magazine all over again. Of course we shouldn't kill the magazine industry. Don't repeat this too often. if you are a loyal follower then get your subscription - it's always substantially cheaper than buying it again and again in a newsagents anyway.

More about the list below

Below is a categorised list of magazines with these type of offers, based on information provided from MoneySavers. It's sectioned into subject categories and sub-sectioned into offer types. Of course offers change, so do check the terms and conditions before you sign up.

Please continue to post your magazine spots and periodically (forgive the pun) we'll update this list

The code for this is 5501. I have just subscribed so not received the gift but the items advertised are Anti-Shadow Eye Cream, extra gentle eye make up remover and Age Reversal intense rejuvenating cream.

Sadly it is £1 per issue but you have to pay for 12 but gift is worth £27

Hope this helps

Thanks

Hi

If you enter the code 5507 it gives the option of £6 direct debit (instead of £12) but still including the Nivea goodies!

Hope this helps!
