Is It Because I Do Not Take The 3 Month Offer Of £1 A Copy

I have phoned 3 times now for various different free magazine offers kindly listed on the forum (Marie Claire, FHM and another one I cannot even remember). I have always turned down the opportunity to take the next 3 copies at £1 each and the phone call has always ended politely but abruptly. In all cases I have failed to receive the free copy. Is it just bad luck or is it because I turn down the extra copies and I guess the sales staff are judged on that as that is the whole point of the promotion?

Must be your luck - i've recieved a magazine or two from these ones - they do take a while to come though. Not being too sharp at them or something or prehaps a odd address?0

I never take the 3 copies for £1 but I have received Grow Your Own and Mens Health. Sometimes it takes a month or more as they wait for the new issue to come out to send you.0

Same here, I never take the 3 copies for £1 but I have received Gardeners World, Mens Health & Olive. All took over a month to arrive but never got Marie Claire & that was ages ago!!0

I received my copy of Olive quite quickly but i'm yet to receive Gardners World or Marie Clare. I just assumed they've probably had a huge response so it'll take a while. You might still get them yet heskpesk x:wave:0

I have had two of the free copies (good housekeeping and Olive) and didnt take up there offers but the olive took almost 2 month to arrive, so may still be on the way to you.0

Yes it is but I do not want to give bank details and set up a direct debit. If you forget to cancel after the 3 free ones then it continues and you get billed. I would definately do it if they just required your debit card number!0 -
i requested 3 different magazines each month for the last 3 months.
i have yet to recieve any!
when the hard sell comes at the end i like many of us moneysaver do - say no!0
