I had to try a couple of times for it to work. Don't fill any info in and keep hitting submit till it loads. :)

Well, it's not quite that simple - you keep getting that "session has timed out" message.

I tried filling out the form and hitting submit, then I went back and hit submit fifteen times, then I went to the Macworld site and searched for a link to the offer, then I went to Apple site and searched for a link to the offer.

Then just as I was about to give up I went back to the offer and hit submit - and BAM: I got error messages stating that I hadn't filled in required information. I hit back, filled everything in, submit, and it worked.

SO IT WILL EVENTUALLY WORK - but unless you really, really want this offer (and I do), don't waste your time. It's just too hard.

On another note, I just joined five minutes ago, just to post this message! I've been watching this forum for months, and I finally have something kinda, sorta useful to contribute! :cool:

ARGH, I can't get it to work. I know it's because I'm using Windows. ;)

EDIT:
SUCCESS!
It's easy.
1) Go to the page.
2) Click submit and get the "timed out" error.
3) Click on a link from that page, like the U.S subscriber link on the left.
4) After that page loads go back to the original page and click submit again.
5) Bingo.

Thanks uwannawhat!

Thanks for this one! I actually logged on today wondering if anyone had found a cheap/free subscription for Macworld!

Granted the magazine it mostly about Mac computers but they do make other things, Ipod comes to mind as one. :D

That worked, thanks for the heads up. MacWorld is an excellent magazine even if you don't have a Mac, as many cool things come out as Apple only (think iPod) then filter down to PC users.
