i see alot of free mag deals and i have signed up from one before (dont remember the name (pcgammer?)

but they charged me for it when it was sopposed to be free

has this happend to anybody else?? did you have to pay when it was FREE???
 
I got charged once for a"free" subscription I think it was like 3.65 for the year. So obviously it was some sort of handling/processing fee, but either way, it was a mad discount on my subcription, so I didnt mind. I signed up for a bunch of others like rollingstones, playboy and they all came free... or at least they started to.. we will see if it continues..
 
you never "have" to pay, just send them a letter saying you never wanted it and you're not giving them any money, and to cancel your subscription.
 
A lot of the "free" deals posted are not necessarily free. Many will have hidden charges or automatic renewals if you don't take active steps to cancel. It always pays to read the fine print before signing up for anything. As long as they don't have your credit card number it's easy to cancel or refuse the billing though, so you'll be safe, the worst that can happen is that they stop sending it to you. But many many of the free supscriptions posted in Hot Deals are perfectly legit. I'm getting 5 or 6 free subscriptions monthly including Sports Illustrated and PC Magazine from deals posted there and a lot of people are probably getting 10-15 or even more free mags every month.
 
i'm getting:
Sports Illustrated
Game Pro
Stuff
Computer Shopper

I don't see how they can charge me without my CC.....
 
when i signed up for the free magazines i recently started to get a BILL for every magazine i have been receiving, but i just throw the statements away. I guess nothing in life is free.
 
I never, ever, ever do the free magazine thing if it asks for a credit card. I've got tons of mag's coming frim no CC sites.
 
Hehe, I get too many freebie magazines
TIME
Money
Entertainment Weekly
Fortune
Jane
Cosmo Girl
Seventeen
YM
Teen
PC World
PC Magazine
Computer Shopper
Technology Review(sucky!!!!)
plus some others that I forget
 
Never been charged. I get the following:
GamePRO
EGM
TV Guide
Sports Illustrated

for free. All in fake names like "Joe Smith" and random names.. They can't trace me 🙂

I also signed my friend up for Cosmo or some girl magazine like YM too 😀

I did that once before. and after about 2 issues they sent me a 30$ bill I sent them a nice note back saying, I'm not paying for it.. they sent me a nice note back saying, If I didn't pay for it, they would put me on there "list" so I wrote back and said Go ahead.. I don't want your magazine......
