Has anyone actually received a free magazine subscription from www.freebizmag.com?

Feb 7, 2012 6:44 PM

I've made the mistake of filling out the survey on three occasions now and each time I get to the point where I claim my free magazine, I get the message "All subscriptions have been claimed." And then I get a message that I can check out other consumer or paid business titles that may be of interest to you.
Is anyone else experiencing the same thing? I've tried on an Italian Cooking mag, Architectural Digest, and one other title maybe Metropolis Magazine.

Done it twice about three-four months ago.
Still nothing.

Think it's a fishing expedition for a bought list provider.

@houndlax: In all fairness, 'It may take up to 20 weeks to receive your first issue.' So you still have another 4 weeks. What a joke!

I know I have gotten some free magazine subscriptions and it was probably 2 months between signing up and receiving the first issue (I think Maxim, Popular Science, PC World etc.). I don't know if it was through the same site though. Since then, my wife (I have never entered her name on a form) has started getting like three or four magazines and we have no idea why. They are magazines that is interested in so we assume they were gifts or something from family.

yep, I had over 3 years of maxim for free, and a few others for a year.

No, but Entertainment Weekly started showing up for some odd reason and IDK who it came from.

I have received dozens of magazines from them, both for myself and for friends and family. As long as you are "qualified", you should have no problems.

Sometimes there's a limited number of "good" magazines, and they do take a while to get started. Some of the sub cards will do odd things also. My kid bought me a sub for Xmas. He mailed it two weeks before Xmas, and I just got my first issue. Wait: this week I received the Dec, Jan, Feb and March issues.
There are affiliates, kinda like a site that says "People that bought this magazine also bought a boat, a plane, and a fly swatter. Click here ..."
I qualified for free computer magazines because I have a few certs. Which then gave me (six months later) a free sub to Cosmo. Then I got Better Homes a few months after that. Then Boating mag- which I really liked, actually, started coming. I started getting 17 magazine. By this time all I had left from my freebie deals was (a free reup) Cosmo. And my wife wanted to know about 17 magazine. Then Elle started coming.
Use a different middle initial for each suspect deal- you'll be amazed. A typo in my first name 15 years ago still shows up.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
