Be careful to read the small print on these.

I went to the Prima link above and it said the offer had expired.

Today I received a mailshot offering exactly the same i.e 3 issues for 99p then 4.25 per quarter - but with a different code with the same company - ( this new code also won't work on the site) - the code is DB65 and is valid till 24th Feb06.

I have printed it here as the mailshot looks like a general mailshot and was included as junk mail.

Here's the rub!

The small print at the bottom of the mail shot says

INITIAL 12 MONTH NON-REFUNDABLE CONTRACT APPLIES.

Also -

To cancel it you have to give WRITTEN notice before the end of the 12 months or it continues as a 12 month rolling contract.

So be careful signing up to these offers with https://www.qualitymagazines.co.uk - as it seems the contract is for 12 months! (Unless I'm reading it wrong).

Just cancel direct debit.

Maybe I'm being overly cautious but I'm inclined to agree with Deleted_User about this 12 month contract thing with qualitymagazines. I've just received an offer mailing from Runners World which states "I understand that my subscription will run for a minimum of 12 months on a non-refundable contract" - that suggests to me that even if I were to cancel the DD after three months they could still come after me for the other three payments because I've entered into a 12 month contract. The other magazine deals offer a trial subscription which can be cancelled after three months if you don't want to continue - this is a subtle change. I think we need to beware.

The deal on Runners World is 3 issues for £3 with a £6 quarterly DD after that plus a free sports watch - choose from ladies watch in blue (E58) or mens watch in black (E59) at:-

I subscribed to the Tatler Calvin Klein "Truth" back in November and I received a substitute perfume this morning. I had given up hope of receiving anything, so was a nice surprise. I have been given Marc Jacobs perfume instead and it smells really nice. The accompanying letter said that due to overwhelming demand the premuim offer is no longer available!

I am very pleased with this one though!

I subscribed to Tatler magazine in November for the free Shiseido (I think that is how you spell it) lip glosses. This morning I received a bottle of Marc Jacobs 'Perfume' as the lip glosses have all run out. It smells lovely though, a bit like Beyond Paradise by Estee Lauder so I am well pleased!!

Oops you are quite right Charlotte - I subscribed to a few in November and forgot which magazine came with which free gift!

I had received 2 issues but still not the free handbag. I phoned them today & they said that a memo had just been sent out to staff to say that the offer had been oversubscribed as the magazine publishers had only ordered 100 bags!!

They informed me that a letter would be going out to all subscribers who still hadn't received their bags & there will be a choice of free gifts for us to choose from....woo-hoo!!!

Sounds promising!

I took out 2 subs. one for me and one for my sis, but hadn't received my free bags so I rang them before Christmas, they said they are 'labelled up' and I should receive them before New Year.... still waiting however! Might give them another call on Monday to find out exactly what's going on!
