magazines.com now codes gift cards as a reduction of the purchase price (like a coupon code), instead of as a form of payment.

It seems like most people are saying that using magazine.com gift cards to double dip doesn't get you points anymore, but can I just buy magazine.com gift cards and get the 40x still?

This would be the same price as buying them - and you end up with $25 to spend on magazines! Let us know if it works.

Value Mags dropped off AA eshopping but has a 'no auto renewals' policy.

I refuse to get involved with Magazines.com with their policy.

Too much work to try to cancel the renewals.

Hadn't thought about it before, but using a gift card, even if it doesn't get you extra points, should avoid the auto-renewal problem, correct? I mean, they don't have credit card info to charge, so they can't auto-renew it.

That's a very good point

They might send you a bill . . .

The UR bonus is now 30 per dollar. The conditions say "Not eligible on the purchase of books." They also sell DVDs and CDs as well as calendars and fragrences. Does anyone have experience getting credited with those?
