Over 60 titles on sale as low as $1 per year. I'm not listing them all (as I can't even find them all). Maybe as we find good ones we can pitch in and list them. Here is what I have so far:
I received the email also. I just bought Boating, Disney adventures for $3.50/year, etc. You have to search for the rock bottom prices. Oh and ESPN magazine is only $6.50/year.
I just placed an order with paypal so cannot give anyone any feedback as if I will get the actual magazines or not, but worth a try.
Avoid price comparing against the Budgetmags site...it just set off my virus protection. Apparently I picked up a Trojan from the site call "generic downloader". I'd avoid.
Picked up both Muscle & Fitness and Men's Fitness from Publication Station for $4 total.

Almost a year ago, I 'ordered' a 1 year free sub for Blender magazine through PublicationStation and it never came.
I just bought Entrepeneur Mag for $1.50 a year. The email receipt mentions using code HOLIDAY on checkout to get 50% off. So I went to order the same thing for my family, and it said invalid coupon code or not applicable. WTF?
The text in the email mentions no restrictions, maybe you'll have better luck -
Take 50% off your next order with coupon code HOLIDAY (You must use our checkout in order to get to coupon code box at top of screen).

I ordered the following on 10.22.06: Better Homes & Gardens Architectural Digest Garden Design Home
I already received the first issue of BH&G, Architectural Digest & Home. I checked the individual subscription section of the Garden Design website and it has my info and shows the correct number of years of subscription that I paid for. I am impressed! I think that is really quick!

Not to be a TC or falsely accuse, but all of the OP's posts on this forum are from the same merchant.
I second that motion, I request the IP address of member is looked into to see if any association to publication station IP addresses.
Why does anyone care? If a vendor wants to come and tell us about some item that we can all get cheap, great!?! I try to keep up on the rules, but can't find that one?
I'm pleased to get these magazines at this cost. Magazines are one of our weaknesses and I don't feel too bad about these. If someone knows where we can find them for less, I haven't seen it posted.
I am pleased to get cheap subscriptions too. However, if a vendor wants to come and tell us about some item that we can all get cheap, he should pay FW for advertising space. Otherwise, it is called "spam".

all of these prices are way below the lowest rate that the publishers allow. i am an authorized subscription agent and i can tell you, if found out, this guy won't last long. most of these prices are only double what it costs him...and if he is a member of an agency-he will definately be kicked out if they see his site. granted, publishers allow agents to sell for lower prices than subscription card rates and let us keep the majority of the profit [they do this so they can charge more for advertising by saying 'we have x number of subscribers'] but they are usually very strict on people like this guy abusing the low remit rates. if too many people buy subscriptions for $2 when the subscription card rate is $15, the publishers won't be able to sell subscriptions themselves. not all of their money comes from ads. each mag is different with how they balance this [ad $ indirectly from sub. agents like me, and customer subscriptions through the publisher.] if ok magazine doesn't go under [which i think it will because it is terrible compared to the rest of the tabloids] they will probably raise their rates in a year or so after theyhave reached x amount of subscribers so they can charge their few advertisers big bucks. i subscribe to ok because it only costs me about $1 but i believe the lowest i can sell it for is $45 or something ridiculous like that. i would never let a customer pay that much for that garbage magazine...but i'll save that rant for another day.... basically i would recommend somewhere well-known like mags4cheap...they have gco! [no-i don't work for them. i am independant...door-to-door sales] they will pricematch...but only authorized prices...which this guy's prices are not/

Your rant makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I've been buying subscriptions off eBay for years and sometimes sellers are selling 5 magazines one year each for a total of $3. I've been to websites that not only sell cheap subscriptions but have a zillion negatives and better business complaints about them and they aren't shut down. If you really are an agent as you say, why would you advertise mags4cheap? Aren't they your competitor. It just doesn't make sense???

I don't know what the heck you're talking about, and I seriously doubt you do. Publishers routinely sell subscriptions through all kinds of outlets for next to nothing (or even for nothing in form of phony rewards and promos). True, they can't openly give them away, but I can assure you this guy's job is not in jeopardy, as long as he's reasonably discrete.

There are some good deals here. The Muscle & Fitness price is incredible. I know one man's treasure is another man's trash, so I don't want to burst any bubbles here, but most of these magazines can be found for a better price on e--Bay. Most of the e--Bay magazine merchants are reputable. Just looking for one with a good feeback percentage. Thanks OP/merchant/magazine re-seller guy.

because self promoting your website is AGAINST rules at fatwallet, that's why! If they want to advertise at fatwallet, they need to pay what others have to pay to advertise here or else FW will cease to exist, FW must somehow pay for operating cost and admin costs.
now my issue whether that advertising referred by users should get paid bonus/finder fee is discussed in my other post at fatwallet forum is seperate from this .
