Thanks. So it doesn't mean that magazines part of their auto-renewal service are disqualified? Just that they can't be auto-renewed?

This. And delete your CC info.

I think people are over thinking the auto-renewal thing. I ordered magazines from magazines.com a long time ago through UR. They all are set for auto-renewal (until you change them) but the points posted without a problem. I really think the clause is intended to make it clear that you get points ONCE - not every time the magazine auto-renews.

My understanding is that the miles don't apply to any purchases that might get auto-renewed during the promo period.

The *new* subscriptions having an auto-renew feature (which will auto renew when the subscription ends) doesn't have a bearing on the miles earn, is how I see it.

Agreed. Its excluding points from future auto renewals not the initial subscription

Can I simply subscribe to a magazine with 900$ subscription and get the miles instead of tons of waisted magazines?

You need to be careful because T&C stated that journals and intl publications were excluded from bonus. As always YMMV.

Thanks for pointing that out, I missed that.

Seems that the journals are listed as "Print Journal Subscription" and the magazines say "Print Magazine Subscription" next to their "Add to Cart" buttons.

Go figure, there are country specific pages for every country except for USA. So no way to browse eligible mags. On each magazine's page there is a top frame above the title containing the country of origin.

I've found nothing over $120 that qualifies. For anyone with experience with Cartera, might it work with the "journals" or intl mags?

if you order and cancel the miles will be removed.

people magazine is over and the economist. journals and international do not receive miles

you can turn off auto renew by just sending an email when you get the confirmation email, its easy

it works on all magazine even the ones that auto renew. you wont get miles a second time when the magazine renews.

Yes, but the internationals are unclear. For instance, "New African" is NOT mentioned as international, but is from South Africa. Does it qualify?

Fair enough about the weeklies, but I'm avoiding too much paper consumption for my mailbox. Measly journals would've been great. I am trying to straddle the line between buying miles AND getting something useful. (e.g. Economist can be had for 3200 miles).

They're supposed to be, or they are? ;)

is the economist an intl publication??

online
 

is possible to get magazines into e-mail as PDF or somehow online? I do not live in the US (in Ireland) nor have US adress of delivery (they don't ship outside US I think) but I want to take the advantage of this offer :D
