hey guys!

actually, the math may very well work out.

goldpoints has a deal with the airlines that is 10:1 (recall the confusion earlier in the thread)

radisson is the one that has the deals with the airlines that lets you get 4:1 exchange.

(see the radisson forum - there is extensive discussion on this point)

does the math work out on the 10:1 exchange ratio

also, i think the point is well taken regarding the fact that magazines would sell for 1cent just to count people as subscribers. magazines make their money from advertisers. the more "paid subscriptions" the higher the advertising rate. i doubt they make any money at all on subscriptions themselves.

just my two cents
