I suppose most people don't know but you can get subscriptions for dirt cheap on ebay. I buy mine from a seller who has 9,000+ feedbacks. I know it sounds like a weird way to get your magazines, but you can get them for dirt cheap.

Examples:

--I paid $9.99 for 3 years of Men's Health...at the site you listed, it would cost $18 for 2 years of this magazine.

--Also, I paid $13 for a 3yr. sub to Electronic Gaming Monthly on ebay...on the site you listed, you would get 2 years for $22.

--Lastly, I paid $11 for 2 years of FORTUNE + FORBES + MONEY (it was a combo auction). These three on the site you listed would be $70.


Anyways, if you don't mind buying on ebay, you can save some money. I have been doing this for years.....

No kidding. Ebay indeed sells subscriptions. Well, I just tried this. Thanks for the heads up!

Mine too :)

Last time I (and I think RossMAN too) missed the $84/year deal from a different vendor (that might have been a price mistake anyway).

Can't wait to get home to generate a one-time use credit card number.

Yep and thanks for the reminder on the one time use cc ... so they can't charge us the FULL RETAIL rate next year.

Unfortunately my wife's BOFA/Alaska Airlines cc doesn't offer this so we'll have to use my CitiBank cc.

Thanks for the tip. Just ordered a 4-year subscription for Maxim @ $ 4.45. And PC World for $14.99 for 2-year subscription. My renewal card came in and they wanted $59.80.
