I love FREE subscriptions...

[TuffGuy]

Just got the first issue from that free Playboy subscription, the women of Enron.

I had completely forgotten about it

 

[RossMAN]

So do I, thanks to the Hot Deals forum, I receive the following magazines for FREE:

US News & World Report
Time
Newsweek
Road & Track or Car & Driver (forgot which one)
Motor Trend
PC World
PC Magazine
Playboy
Forbes
National Geographic

and a few others.

 

[Azraele]

You get Time for free? I need to start looking at the Hot Deals Forum.

You do a pretty good job of reading forum posts.

 

[RossMAN]

Azraele - It wasn't totally free, I had to signup for SPAM which conveniently goes to my free Yahoo e-mail account

axelfox - Oh yeah Mr T has nothing on me

What's a little more spam, lol. I can't seem to get rid of the stuff.

True, I get 30 per day on my main account and it's a major PITA to delete them all on a daily basis.

 

[dakata24]

ffmcobalt - Damn that was fast, why'd you get Computer Shopper?

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

Fast?

I dunno about computer shopper. It's a computer magazine. It's $2. Shadap. Actually, I'm just interested in computer shopping and anything I can find to keep me up on the technology and value of today's products. Lord knows I need help with computers (well, okay, so only Gregg really knows that ), and it's a relatively cheap resource. Didn't want to turn it down.

[RossMAN]

Fast meaning you saw this thread, clicked my link to the Hot Deals forum, found a FREE magazines Hot Deals thread and subscribed all in less than an hour.

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

No, I just got around to checking my mail. I saw the thread two minutes after you posted and had the subscriptions requested in about a minute and a half. It's nice to have my card number memorized.

Just keep your eye out in the mail for a postcard after your free year is over, they MIGHT try to bill you for another year..

Uh, yes. That's why you read the fine print. In order not to get charged another year and my subscription roll over, I've got to call them.

nik (teh winnar when it comes to reading fine print)

Which reminds me... I put in a request for a small $500 credit card from my credit union earlier this week and haven't heard anything from them yet... Strange. Thanks for the reminder, too. I've got a call to make.

[dpopiz]

I'd love to get CPU.. I got their free sample issue recently and it's nice
SUCH A RELIEF FROM THE WORTHLESS PCMAGS I NORMALLY READ

 

[RossMAN]

nik, typically 'no news is good news' except for when it comes to credit applications.

I'd definitely give them a call first thing Monday morning and ask them straight up good news or bad news?

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

Will do. Thanks.
