InsideFlyer - Who subscribes?
 

Who here subscribes to the print edition of Inside Flyer???

I do, why? Yes, most of the same information is available on-line (and certainly much more timely) but it is an interesting read and I like supporting Randy's good work.

I subscribe as well. Ditto on the comment about supporting Randy, plus my copy makes it around the office and has made a few of my co-workers happy with the bonuses they've received.

I subscribe because quite simply I'm obsessed with frequent flyer tips and I enjoy reading them in a print format as well as online.

I subscribe because this way I'm sure I will get it quickly.

Randy and FF have brought me so many useful tips and so improved the quality of my travels that I primarily subscribe to contribute my support.

interestingly, I don't ever remember seeingany solicitation to subscribe.

I think I would, just to support Randy.

So. somebody. quick. get a link up here to a subscription page.

Thumper,
Cut and paste this site and you will earn 1200 Starwood points for your subscription.
Another option would be to vote for the freddies and take advantage of the 50% off offer at the end. http://www.webflyer.com/starwood/pro...LE=infoifa.htm

I belong to Starwood Hotels. Is it correct that 1,200 starpoints is also 1200 miles on any airline? IF so that's a good deal.

I subscribe and like it well enough. But it's editorially amateurish sometimes (misspelled headlines, etc.), fairly expensive, and I have it on some kind of automatic-renew plan so I keep missing the chance to get my DC Club Rewards renewal bonus points!

I have been a faithful subscriber for many years. Willingly, regardless whether any bonus is offered for the renewal or not. I look at it as a small contribution to Randy for maintaining and improving this FT site.

I also subscribe, primarily to support the site, but I also like to have the print edition handy to double check and make sure I haven't missed any offers.

Yes, indeed, I subscribe. I've found the magazine's ads to sometimes be worthwhile, underscoring something I *could* have picked up, but seeing it in print, in hand, suddenly makes it click. Also, I feel I've gotten a LOT more than the subscription price out of this board, and his online service--- I think it's only reasonable, since I value it, and can afford it.

I never miss an issue! It's got everything in one place, besides, I've had a tough time getting my monitor into the bathroom!

I do, great reading on plane rides, than pass around to other flyers.

I subscribe and have for several years - since it was black and white and basically photocopied!

Anyway, it's a great way to support an individual/organisation that has promoted the interest of Frequent Flyers for years.

I also have their insurance against airlines going broke and my miles vanishing!

I subscribe, too.

I originally got a "comped" subscription as a "door prize" at the PiP for having had the longest-in-elapsed-time trip to Hawaii (even though thanks to the International Date Line I arrived before I departed), and liked it so much that when the freebee ran out, I subscribed.

I now subscribe after reading this thread. I'll be glad to give it a year's try.

I clicked on the link to subscribe, for the same reasons as above, and see this message:

U.S. Address/12 issues $36.00 USD
(Offer only available in U.S.)

Marysunshine. 1200 Starpoints is worth MORE than 1200 airline miles if you do the transfer of Star 20K = 25K Miles or whatever their usual transfer deal is.

I subscribe to the print edition of InsideFlyer magazine as a small token of my appreciation and to show my support of this fine FlyerTalk Bulletin Board. Thank you Randy and Crew. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I also subscribe, partly to show support for Randy and partly because after reading off of a screen all day long it feels downright luxurious to read something I enjoy off of real paper.

I was just wondering if there were any new promotions for subscriptions? Anyone see anything?

I subscribe but I haven't had an issue delivered since Sept 11.

I enjoy reading it while flying & I have found information in the mag that I missed online.

You received an issue in September? Was it the September issue?--or the August issue? I was told that no hardcopy version of the September issue was ever mailed.

I also subscribe. Randy and his team have been of great help to my mileage balances over the past 10+ years, so it is only fair to help compensate him for his efforts. Plus it is included in the AwardGuard membership (which I have also been paying for for at least five+ years due to my concern about my TWA mileage. Now according ot Forbes I also need to be concerned about my United and American balances.

Another reason: I believe that from time to time an airline or hotel company will rent the subscriber list and send out offers for complimentary temporary elite status. One of these can pay for the whole year's subscription.

Sometime in the 80s, there was an insert offering Premier status on United. It was May or June of that particular year. The deal was to fly 10,000 miles withing a given amount of time, and you would be Premier for the rest of the year. I decided to go for it and have been Premier or Premier Exec every year since. The promotion definitely got me hooked! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Regarding inside Flyer, I was one of the very first subscribers going way back. But what puzzles me is that I never receive renewal notices. Instead, the monthly issues just stop coming and then I have to call and complain. Oh well.
