Pretty much this. It's a terrible magazine in terms of articles and content. Mostly ads, and then the same article templates over and over again. For some reason I paid for a subscription a few years ago. After about a year I could pretty much guess the content of the next magazine before I even got it.

i wasnt aware that people bought magazines to actually read outside of taking shit.

everytime i get magazines its usually from these free year subs. i havent seen any in a while, now i just take a laptop with me when i poop.

I subscribe to heavy metal. It's pretty neat.

Call me when there's a free year subscription to Time and/or Reader's Digest. Talk about the ultimate shitting material right there, sometimes I take shits just for fun when I have either in the house.

Soriak · 07-07-2009, 07:42 PM

Eh, it's free - might as well... thanks

Just remember to cancel it once the subscription is active - I'm sure it'll auto-renew or something.

Grimmlokk · 07-07-2009, 07:46 PM

Nope. You're not giving them any info to charge you with. It just runs out and stops showing up.

You can get multiple free subscriptions to some magazines and it will just tack on more time. I know Maxim used to be one, was a guy on slickdealz mentioning he had like 12 years free lined up.

Aria · 08-03-2009, 12:51 PM

Wanted to give a heads up for everyone in this thread. Apparently Maxim was overwhelmed (gee, really?) and decided to cancel most of the free years UNLESS you complain.

Mine was cancelled, so all I had to do was email customer support regarding my subscription and literally my email said "Hey, I was subscribed for a 12-issue membership and now it says it isn't active, can you fix this?" Today got an email back saying they fixed it for me. Just suggest everyone here checks this, especially if you hadn't received a free issue yet like me.

Galgor · 08-03-2009, 02:10 PM

Complaint issued. They cancelled mine, those bastards.

Thanks for the heads up.

AtwaKom · 08-03-2009, 02:18 PM

Mine cancelled also ( surprise! ). Just emailed them and hopefully I'll be back in business. +1 for the heads up.

Hatorade · 08-03-2009, 07:17 PM

Oh noes

Our records show that your Maxim subscription was cancelled on Jul. 16, 2009.

I don't think I care enough to even spend the time complaining.

EmpireF4i · 08-03-2009, 07:18 PM

Haha. Mine was canceled on the same day also.

xKALECx · 08-03-2009, 08:05 PM

Sounds like we all got the axe. Was worth a try though. As mentioned, not even worth it to file a complaint.

EmpireF4i · 08-03-2009, 10:58 PM

Meh, its on the same page you check to see if your account was canceled. Took an extra few key strokes to send a "complaint." If it doesnt work, then no need to follow up.

Aria · 08-04-2009, 06:24 AM

Might not be worth the extra 3 seconds for some, but figured it was good for those that wanted it. Seems like everyone who is complaining on slickdeals is getting it reactivated, myself included.
