Miles for magazine subscriptions

Hi,

I have just received the new LH timetable and there are two subscriptions offers. Both seem to be "old" offers but still running:

1000 miles for ZEIT subscription for EUR 12
7000 miles for one year FOCUS subscription (yearly cost 119 E and you will only get the miles after the amount is paid)

Seems, the "ZEIT" offer is better, correct? How was your experience with previous offers like this? I have never used one ...

In January I have taken advantage of the Welt am Sonntag offer. 2000 miles for 13,70 I believe. Now the offer is back but it costs something like 25 for 2000 miles.
Miles posted about 4 weeks later.

Focus Money is also around for 8000 Miles for 132,60 Euro .. seems expensive

Also 10.000 Miles from the ZEIT still around for a regular subscription, paid monthly, 23,70/month, but they do not say how fast you can cancel the subscription ...

STR, unfortunately, the WamS offer of 2000 miles costs 23,70 now ... not better than the other ones.

while reading in www.moremiles.com i see that i am stupid still buying all my books in amazon.com while buch.de offers miles for this.

I got 6000 miles of Die Welt for DM 17,50 last year after they didnt gave my 750 or 1000 miles which I normally should get. I was complaining about that and then my account showed up the miles for a whole year subscripiton.

Are you sure about the 5.000 miles?

This link only talks about 1.000 miles.

A friend told me about this promotion and I called the number. The friendly woman took my M&M number and said that the 5000 miles will be credited soon.

It's German newspaper distributor, what do you expect ? And you need a German delivery address to qualify.

Thanks for this. I just signed up, no problem, and they told me that delivery will automatically be stopped after the one month. They say they won't trick you into something where you keep receiving the papers unless you do something. If you want to continue the subscription, you have to actively request that.

How often can you do this? Like say I subscribed to a few different addresses, would I still get those miles credited?
Its very tempting!
