Hmmm...this one looks slightly different than the one that I signed up for, but it did work. I got 3 years for free, and no bills!

The other one that I signed up for has given me no junk mail at all. No snail mail, no emails, nothing. And three years free.
Granted, I'm only 5 months into that 3 years.....but nothing in 5 months aint bad. As for this one though...like I said, this one is different than the one I signed up for.

Note to everyone...
Make up an email. Example: GiveMeFreeShit@FuckYou.com That's what I did when I got my free mags, and you stay spam free by using a fake email. Plus, here's a free 2 year subscription for Stuff. LINKY |

Free Mags - FHM/Maxim/Stuff/Blender/PC Mag/YM
Hi all,
On an earlier post I saw someone post about a Free Maxim magazine. I am here to tell you that it should indeed work, but it just takes some time (ie. 8-10 weeks). But hey if it is free what's the difference. Here is a list of MANY free mags: 2 years of Maxim & Blender (choose both or just one) - http://www.complimentarymagazines.co...=maxim_blender 2 years of Stuff - http://complimentarymagazines.com/cg...gi?setup=stuff FHM / PC Mag (Digital) - http://www.freebizmag.com/pcmagdigitalad01welcome.htm Now this one is a bit more complicated. Goto the site above, then when it asks you for the combo, put in any combo you want. On the next page, you will get a box that says YES I want PC Mag in digital format. Click next. Then it will give you a few questions to answer. If you notice, all of them have a "no thanks" or "no" choice. Just make sure you choose that for all of them. That way it costs nothing Also pay close attention, and one of the questions will say would you like a COMPLIMENTARY subscription to FHM for 1 year starting Jan 2004, yes or no, just choose yes. Then on the next page, it will ask you to fill in you info, address, etc. That's it you are done. As for the PC Mag, you can either do nothing, or click on the link to download the digital version of it. The digital version IS THE SAME as the paper version, just on the computer, page by page. Finally, if you really want to have the printed version sent to your place, instead of the digital, goto http://www.zdmcirc.com/zdmcirc/digit...ex.html#change and fill out the form to change it from the digital to the print version, just make sure to wait two weeks first, so your account will be listed. Remember this is only for the PC Mag, not the FHM. The FHM will be mailed to you starting Jan 2004. For the gals: 2 years of YM - http://www.teenfreeway.com/magscentral/ym1a1.htm And for those of you who are concerned. I myself have signed up for all the ones listed above, except YM. I know for a fact that other people who have signed up long before me HAVE recieved there magazines for FREE with no hassles. EVERYONE ENJOY G_Lock PS. Quick Notes for people. 1) If you already subscribe to one of these, as long as its the same name/address the subscription will JUST ADD to it. So if you already get Maxim till 2004, then when you sign up, it will add 2 years, so it will go till 2006 for you. 2) Make sure you use a alternate e-mail address, other then your main one. I have not gotten any spam so far, but just in case. 3) Many people ask how is this possible. Well the truth of the matter is, if you take any of these magazines, you will probably notice about 1/3 of them are ADS. Well basically, these magazines companies care more about the revenue from ad companies then from you subscribing. So lets a 1000 people sign up for this free subscription, they can tell the ad companies, we have 1000 more subscribers now, and can charge more for the ads. Thats the main reason for these free subscriptions. Last edited by G_Lock; 10-26-2003 at 05:32 PM.. |

PEOPLE! DONT WORRY ABOUT SPAM! As sixate said earlier, just enter in a random FAKE email address. something@something.com would probably work and you will not get any SPAM.
thanks for postin the other links!

Have any of you noticed on the link for the Maxim Magazine it says NOTHING about the subscription being FREE.
So basically all you are probably doing is signing up to get their magazine (which you can do anywhere on the net) and you will be billed later. |

i signed up for this a couple months ago and i've recieved 3 issues in a row....had no spam or snail mail either.
it does say SPONSORED, meaning paid for by someone else. so just from that i'd say its legit, but to each his own. if anything were to have come from this, you'd have probably read something about it. i mean, this would be a huge ass scam. sending people what they think is a free subscription, and then charging them for it. i would certainly have some serious shit to give someone if they did that. i seriously think that whoever prints out this mag is making a crap load of money off of advertising anyway...i mean this mag is half full of full page ads. and by printing and delivering all those ads, they probably cover all the printing cost, shipping, and salaries associated with it. just another note com·pli·men·ta·ry __ _P___Pronunciation Key__(kmpl-mnt-r, -tr) adj.

Yo what's up with this?
Why is my NEW post all of a sudden a part of another post, with MY SUBJECT and NOT ME as the thread starter? This makes NO sense. I am not trying to be mean here, but I think that is taking away a little credit. I posted not only DIFFERENT LINKS then The_Dude, but I also gave a detailed description. I think that warrants its own thread. To whomever reads this, and knows what happened, please take this into consideration and undo it. Thanks. G_Lock |

I have a friend who signed up for Free Maxim a Year ago, and He's gotten since then. No Spam, No Scam.
Someone, Somewhere told me that the Magazines set up accounts for Businesses and other places where people wait. Like Doctor's Offices, Dentists, etc. I know one of the free subscription site is basically a backdoor to the address for such subscriptions. So Maxim and the other are supposing that you're a business. Then again, The credibility of this is thin, since I can't remember who told me or why..
