I've used them several times through the years, no problems. Subscription orders were all properly communicated to the respective publishers and magazines showed up as expected.

I keep getting mailed Better Homes & Gardens and I have no idea why or how? I have no card on record with them
Could you have been receiving another magazine by the same publisher that is no longer being published? And the publisher switched the remaining issues on your subscription to BHG?

That's how I have like 30 years on my BHG subscription...

I've had a positive experience with DiscountMags. I've been using them for over 10 years and haven't had any problems.

During checkout, follow the instructions for their DiscountLock (auto-renew) program...depending on whether your want it or not. If you order, and change your mind about DiscountLock, you can change it at any time in your account at DiscountMags.

If you are renewing a current subscription - be sure to use the EXACT same name/addy that is on your current subscription. If you're not sure, you can log into your subscription account at the magazine specific website and check your account details.

If you start to receive duplicates, the best way to handle that situation is to log into one of the subscription accounts at the magazine webiste (not DiscountMags) and send a message to customer service. You'll provide the account numbers from your mailing labels and ask that they merge the subscription accounts.

Discount Mags is problematic.

According to their own web page, it takes 3 months to get a subscription started. I have an Economist subscription from SD from 5 months ago that hasn't shown up yet...

...and there's no phone number for customer service...

The industry standard for new print subscriptions is 8-12 weeks...so DM uses the same estimate for when you will likely receive your first issue. It definitely depends on the magazine/publisher, how frequently a magazine is published etc

What has customer service at DM told you when you inquired about the status of your order for Economist Magazine?

Have you tried registering/logging into your account at the Economist website? You may be able to see your account details if your subscription has been processed by The Economist. Their live chat customer service is particularly helpful, I've found. If you can't log in, you may want to use their live chat option to see if they can locate your subscription order.

Ah, looking at your posts - you're a Discount Mags rep. With 271 reputation.
SlickDeals has become such an odd place :/

I have several other active magazine subscriptions with your company. Subscriptions often get stuck, and take several pings to get going.

I pinged your customer service again this morning, and the reply:

I have submitted a request to check on the status of your order placed through our service. Once a request like this is submitted, it can take up to 10-14 business days to get a response. We will follow up with you as soon as a response has been provided for your order.
I'd appreciate if you can kick this loose CutieKakes

have used them for years, never have paid more then $10/year (most cases $5) for any of my subs.

Just keep in mind, most mags now are about 60% ads....

i do it as gifts and because I like to sometimes be off my tablet/pc and this gives an excuse.

Their search function is broke AF.

use google instead: discountmags magnamehere 1 year

also, never buy them off promo, almost all mags go on promo every few months. set a discountmag alert here at slickdeals Wink

As a follow-up to the question about how reliable DiscountMags is: after my third customer service inquiry about the Economist subscription I paid for based on the SlickDeals frontpage July, 2020, they replied back and said that they had to resbumit the subscription, and it will take another 10 weeks to receive it.

So I paid for the subscription on July 2021, I won't start getting issues until March 2022.

Discount Mags: They [The Economist Magazine] are stating your order has to be reprocessed and your magazine will arrive in about 8-10 weeks from the reprocess date. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Would you like us to proceed with reprocessing your order, or would you like us to cancel this and issue you a refund?
