60 AA miles/$ at Magazine.com
Anyone jumping in on this one...sounds tempting..especially with that 2500 bonus as well.. https://www.aadvantageeshopping.com/...x&mids=2080,16 (if your looking for a place to donate children mags to: http://hugslove.org/ ) |
I do.
|
Anyone have experience subscribing to a bunch of mags then cancelling the ones you don't like/want after the miles post and getting refund for remaining issues? Do they pull the miles 6 months later?
There's a few that the mrs. thinks she wants but I don't want to subscribe to 10 magazines and find out she only likes a couple. |
At this rate it almost makes sense to just subscribe to a gazillion magazines... 1.7 cpm is a good deal.
|
If you have too many subs, you can send them my way, and I will get them to the VA hospital and clinic on all my appointments. A lot of wait time there, and I always re-read those ones from last year. This week I found out the poll numbers for the upcoming election, Romney is a bit behind!!

I know that I'm going to be bombarded with repeated renewal begging before sub expires but that's okay. ' Still can't believe it's 60 miles per $1 spend. |

The stranger thing that has happened since I started subscribing via Magazines.com is that I routinely get "trial" subscriptions to magazines I would never subscribe to. GQ, Money, and Us Weekly all come to mind. The funny think is that GQ and Money came to my (female, and much less financially savvy) fiancé, while US Weekly came to me (a male, who is very out of touch and disinterested in celebrity gossip). I would worried I would eventually start receiving bills for these - but I never have. |

So what charities can you send magazines directly to as a charitable contribution?

I am using a tutoring organization I volunteered at in high school, they are going to give me addresses of schools to send them to. |

Cheers! JudyJFLA Judy Jones 11 Live Oak Lane Fort Myers, FL 33905 Seriously, is this a serious offer to distribute magazines to VA institutions? If so, could you provide a bit more info on what you do that takes you on your appointments? I don't mean to pry, but I'd seriously consider such de facto donations. Send a pm if you prefer. |
The fine print on the page before you get sent to magazines.com doesn't address this, do you get points for the taxes? For CC spend you do, but my experience in the UR portal says no.
|
Any tax experts on the tax deductibility of sending magazines to Judy to distribute to the VA? :)

Wish they had the New York Times or something, I think I'm going to get the $100 Economist sub... And 6k miles. Not bad and good reading material
|
Okay - I'll guineapig this.
In for $1305 to the Los Angeles Children's Hospital, using a private browser and the portal. Benefits: They say cancel at anytime and get a refund of unused issues. Fairly safe risk if you have to cancel 3 months in and then prorate the deduction. Should be well settled before tax time. Risks: Everything people say about Cartera. |

is there an expiration on the deal? i'd love to run by the childrens hospital here to confirm they'd like the donation but I don't want to wait past midnight if it's just a 1 day deal!

But won't it be fishy canceling $1300 worth of magazine subs? Most expensive I saw was the ~$100 economist.

Thanks OP!
I'm in for a bunch of random subs to send to the troops PLUS 10.5k pts Happy Thanksgiving y'all |
mommypoints did a good write-up on her blog. Not sure I can use a couple thousand AA but will research.

I've used magazines.com several times (@30 miles/$ via UR). I believe it IS set to auto-renew, but it is fairly straight forward to cancel that "benefit." As others have said, make sure to delete your credit info so you don't get auto-billed.

I'm in for $1k worth of mags to the children's hospital~

I'm in for $44 worth to top up to an award level. Thanks to OP. Came at the right time because I don't have travel opportunities coming up for rental car miles (AA not being my primary airline). Better to have the option to book the big trip sooner rather than later, and this beats purchasing miles.

Economist is not automatically renewed.
Any other good options for magazines that are not automatically renewed? |
