i heard somewhere that your selections won't really matter. like after you pick your selections, and you click next, and you don't see your magazine, then that means it ran out already. if you see some other magazine, and not yours, then yeah, its already dead. so far i've been getting a whole buncha mags from freebizmag.

I don't know for sure, but it seems to me that if you are already hooked into a deal it will reject you . . . I couldn't connect on PSM . . . but I'm in on it from a few months ago. Otherwise, I have a feeling that it doesn't matter what you input.
 
[quote name='CoffeeEdge']Well, does anyone know for sure how the system actually works?[/quote]

Freebizmag is a service that matchs different magazine subscriptions to certain job titles. Say your an IT guy at Dell,they will offer mags that have to do with computers and programming. If your a VP or CEO they will offer mags such as Forbes or WSJ. The magazine companies give Freebizmag a comp for getting their magazines in the hands of their particular niche. Hoping you will continue your subsciption and increasing their subscibers list to attract more advertisers.

I know that, morpheusxp. I meant, the form itself. Because after following a link provided and filling out the form, a page sayong that no magazines were found based on blah blah criteria. But does the subscription displayed at the form page still go through?
 
[quote name='CoffeeEdge']Could you be more specfic, 6669? I still can't get PSM![/quote]

Okay, he chose Retail, then kept choosing either other, specialty, or toys and games. He doesn't remember what order, but just look for those options. He used to have a retail job selling games, so he just went off of that. It may not be working due to the availability of the magazine. Hope that helps. :)

No,if your job title/desciption doesn't match that publishers criteria you will not be presented with the option to request that free subscription offer. You will be offered other magazines that match the the job title/description you entered. Also if all of that particular magazines free subsciptions have been given out you will not be offered that magazine but will be offered others that match your job title/description. Most of the more popular magazines are only available to the first few hundred people that request them.

It seems like the popular ones (mass media mags like gaming ones) are available to anyone. so . . . it shouldn't matter what profile you enter????

But you're right that stuff goes fast . . . I've followed up on everyone of their DVD/videos, the only thing I've every gotten is a VHS of Caddyshack.
 
Just got my XBN the other day...no CGW however...The only free magazine offer that I never received is Tips and Tricks.
 
[quote name='Moxio']I wonder if FreeBizMag is ripping me off. I've only received Computer Games Mag from them.[/quote]

How can one be ripped off for something they never purchased?
 
[quote name='Moxio']^ Same here.

I got golfworld today first magazine I actually got from them.. took a loooong time.
 
I have received several mags from freebizmags...gaming and others. Overall, I would say that they are reputable. Like others have said, you just have to get the right combo on the questions they ask, or use other names in your family...and then in 6-8 weeks the mags show up.
 
Thanks Moxio for the Stuff subscription....

[quote name='pimp tyranny']i never got the DVDs, like Beautiful Mind. but i did get Stuff, Blender, GamePro, Maxim, PSM, and EGM.[/quote]

Yeah, I've never gotten any of the DVDs either, plenty of mags though...
 
this offer that was posted earlier, stopped, but now its back up again
http://freetries.com/magazine/3.php

EGM, XBN, PC mag, etc..

I already signed up, but does anyone if its legit? When I checked out freetries.com, its a porn site. Made me a bit skeptical.. They better not mail me some porn ads.
 
Porn site? Ouch.

So far the only addition they've added was for PCMag. I still haven't gotten credit on the other customer service sites.
 
How do you guys find out about the rewards gold offers. i've never goten one live and the root site just says the url name?
thanks
 
what gaming mag offers are going on right now? i see it's been a while since cheapyd's post has been updated, and i don't really want to search through 46 pages to find newer ones. so if someone could post the ones that are current, i'd appreciate it.
