I cannot link it well, so here is the URL (just copy and paste):

https://xp3.mybonuscenter.com/ixp/splash.tmpl?afk=04962505&sid=8...

I used a visa rebate card I got from Staples so I do not bother calling in a year and canceling it. You can use a one time CC # like discover card. If not, a regular cc would do just fine. They do notify you of when it expires (by sending you a postcard) and cancellation is easy as pie. Other titles are:

Time
National Geographic Adventure
Budget Living
Reader's Digest
PC Magazine
Glamour
Family Circle
Travel + Leisure
TravelAmerica
Horticulture
Parents
Fast Company
Computer Gaming World
Cruise Travel
Computer Shopper
Interview
Ebony
Baseball Digest
Golfweek
Child
Travel + Leisure Golf
Giant Magazine
Writer's Digest
Tennis Magazine
Inc.

Phone number to cancel service is 800-884-3350 (automated system).

Hope you enjoy it!

NICKel said:Anyone had success with this service? Prices are very good ......... too good (yes I am a cynical Fatwalleter)It is automatic renewal

I've actually ordered several magazines from this company before. They used to have similar good deals that came with the AMEX and some other credit card bill if. I got 1 year of Entertainment Weekly for $1. I used to have around 10 magazine subscriptions through this service.

They do send the postcards the next year with a ridiculous rate, and then you call this automated machine to cancel. I remember with most of the magazine subscriptions, if I press the button to cancel, it would offer me a lower rate or gifts. I think the automated machine would offer it to me for around $60, then when I said no, it would lower the price a little bit, and then when i said no again, it'd offer me that price plus one gift and keep going until i got three gifts, and then it finally offered it to me for like $2.

Sometimes, it would offer it to me for FREE.

I had my Entertainment Weekly sub through them for 5 or 6 years. I paid between free to $6/yr for it. I only canceled about two years ago because the lowest it offered me was about $20/yr. Some magazines they would give me a good deal on, some magazines they wouldn't so I would just cancel until I found another ad in the credit card bill to start this all over again.

Good to hear some positive comments on this website and its offerings over here in fatwallet. But I am still sceptical on jumping on this deal due to the bad reviews at some places, like the one below:-
Reviews

Looks like AMEX and Chase used to (or still do) promote such an offer with their credit cards. Would love to hear more good stuff about the website before jumping, the rates do look very good indeed.

PC Magazine stopped publishing its print edition last year, and Computer Shopper ceased publication earlier this year.

The "Mybonuscenter" $2 magazine deal has been floating around for literally years now. I have posted links to it periodically in prior magazine deal threads here, and have personally ordered about a dozen subscriptions from it through the years. Never had a problem. The selection of mags on the page changes from time to time, so it's worth bookmarking it and checking it again in a few months.

The postcard they send you to warn about your impending renewel often comes many weeks before the end of the subscription. In the past, if I called them as soon as I got the postcard, I found that my subscription would be terminated somewhat prematurely as a result. Now I've learned to save the postcard and call closer to the actual renewal date.

My only complaint is that they have (presumably intentionally) made the telephone cancellation process very confusing. As another poster has noted, first they try to bait you with some pitiful promo, then they throw in a poorly worded question loaded with double negatives when you turn it down: "Are you sure about not wanting to not decline the alternative offer? If you are not sure, press 2." I had to listen to the choice repeatedly to decipher their code.

I've had great luck with this company. Just use a temporary credit card number and close it once the order is complete.

Got an "unexpected error" when trying to process through at the very end. Had to click "No thanks" to at least three other offers before it got to that point. Looks like the deal is busted.

Probably one of your selections has reached it's quota. Try removing initially your least desirable one and re-trying. Work your way up from there.
What were your selections?

I just completed it myself, and got a confirmation screen at the end...seems to be working.

Many of these subscriptions are available for free if you keep an eye on Free Stuff.

The one time card# at Discover allows the same merchant to charge the one time# multiple times i.e. merchant can automatically renew the subscription using the same one time card# issued one year ago. On a side note, it is extremely difficult for discover representatives to track one time use #. You are better off using your regular discover card number.

Okay...it looks like my order went through. Got a confirmation email. Selected Time, Inc, Entrepreneur, and Kiplingers. I used a pre-paid $10 American Express gift card I received recently, and the remaining $2 balance will get used soon so even if they try to renew automatically there won't be anything for them to charge it against.

In for Time.

I wanted more but they end up in my recycling bin after ripping off then shredding my mailing address... too much work.

I like Time because a subscription also allows me to search their online archives. Very useful for research.

Thanks, OP!

I use them....after the charge goes through, just email Discover Customer Care to close the number and they do it without a call.

On another note...

If your mail does not require your name on your mailbox to get delivered, use a fake name, or "Current Resident".

1) I have read (but not confirmed) that some pricey magazines are sending people to collections. Sending "Joe Blow" to collections doesn't do anything. I actually have most of my magazines go to "Current Resident" without issue. They also don't validate your credit card against your address or name. I buy lots of subscriptions as gifts for my parents and grandparents and send them to "Mom and Dad" and "Grandma Jean" and they always show up.

2) If you start getting junk mail to your fake name or "Current Resident", you know where they got the list from.

**As mentioned many times....also use a One-Time Credit Card Number from CitiCards or Discover(Click links for info)
