The link works & the magazine comes. I have been enjoying my free Cycle World magazine subscription since before Christmas. Thought I would pass it on to other folks who might appreciate it.

Here's the link: http://www.mercurymagazines.com/pr1/121/12181

What's the catch or risk?

Probably just more junk mail as they most likely add your info to the list of addresses they sell to mail advertisers. At least with a bike mag subscription most of the junk will be bike related, which in my house at least gets thumbed through before being recycled.

Actually, I am on the list to not be able to receive junk mail (registered with the USPS & "stop the mail" folks) so I don't get junk mail....

I just get the magazine. If there were catches, I would have told you so.

The catch is you have to read the magazine?

I enjoy Peter Egan's column, sometimes- when he doesn't try too hard.

thanks hope... be careful... the link runs a loop and tricks you into more and more rags!!!
not a catch... but can be a lot of crap in your mailbox if you just keep clicking.

Back when I had a business I used to get some of the magazines. Good deal actually and very little associated junk mail if you don't look like a good sales prospect ;-). alternatively you can invent a persona and job and if you do a good enough job pimping it you'll have free trips to the islands to look at real estate and try out yachts.

thanks Hope!!

No kidding, Hope, thanks! I crown myself king whenever I read my motorcycle magazines, as that's the only place where I read magazines

Could certainly always use another loyal subject (get it? subject? hah!)

Cool. All of my others ran out and having just graduated (again) aint no money honey.

I found a catch..... US only... booooooo...

Hope · « **Reply #13 on:** April 04, 2008, 06:53:21 AM »

Sorry, I never noticed that it said US only, otherwise I would have told you.

FYI - the advertisers in any given magazine pay for the publication of the magazine. When people pay for subscriptions, that's just extra money for the magazine... So when you subscribe and pay for a magazine, you are paying for a magazine that is already paid for... That's why I get all my magazine subscriptions for FREE.

I don't pay for any magazine subscriptions, and I think others should be aware that they can do the same!

Hope this helps someone

i took advantage of this one because its free but i also recently received a cycle world subscription offer for 7 dollars because i have a biznass.
i thought that was incredibly low too.

mikedialect · « **Reply #15 on:** April 04, 2008, 09:54:47 AM »

well, we'll see how 'free' this is!

We've gotten two issues so far, and haven't yet seen any downside. Yet.

Wont let me choose the mag.

Hawkster318 · « **Reply #22 on:** June 06, 2008, 07:33:55 PM »

Signed up for it and choose 3 other 'free' subscriptions. Mainly trade mags for the work I do, and delivered to my work address too.

kach_me · « **Reply #23 on:** June 07, 2008, 02:19:42 PM »

me too! CycleWorld is uncheck-able. Signed up anyway, to see if it is part of the package. I'll let you know.
