Longer subscriptions & other mags
Made my first order today, no trouble. Talked to Shari, the CSR, by phone. As I already get too much **** stuff in the mail to read, what I'd really like to do is get longer subscriptions to the few mags I really like. Consumer Reports has several long-term subscription deals, including a lifetime one for, I think, $1000. The longest they offer on VM is 2 years.
Shari suggested sucscribing first for 2 years, waiting a few days, then extending the subscription with the same 2-year rate. (She did, however, request that customers only use this trick once -- didn't ask why.)
She also said that the owner is willing to consider suggestions for other mags, and that I should email him about it. I did, although it's probably too late for this promo for them to add any new pubs, esp. if he's "on vacation".
Good luck!

As was noted a few days ago in the existing Goldpoints threads in Buzz, all new Goldpoints threads would be moved to the S.P.A.M board. It can be debated (and has already been to some degree) where the perfect place for these threads may be: Buzz, S.P.A.M, Radisson. Following is the board descriptions from the FT start page...
