how long does it usually take for them to process this stuff? I forgot if they mentioned it or not when I signed up. it seems like it's been awhile. do they just cut you off after the year is up? or do they start charging money?

Wrong forum eh? But to answer you, 1. it takes 8-12 weeks usually (if the magazine comes at all), and 2. They will either send you a bill for renewal or just stop all together. Never had my CC charged - in fact, I've never had to give my CC number to get the free ones.

Reon,

1) Since this is not a Hot Deal it belongs here.

2) Normally it takes 8-12 weeks to receive your first magazine.

3) How can they charge you money if they don't have your credit card details? After your free subscription is over you will receive a bill. Then you can either call and cancel your subscription -or- pay the $$$ and continue your subscription.

So many free subscriptions later...they send you a letter to renew, throw out, they stop sending, no bills, sign up again.

Yeah, what everyone else said, but it's possibly you may never get your magazine.

My friend signed me up to a bunch of magazines, so I highly doubt that I could be charged for it.
