PSA: I just wanted to give everyone a heads up about People magazine suspending print editions for some users.

Slickdeals member minifigg mentioned in an earlier thread that Better Homes and Gardens was suspending print subs for some free users. Well, People magazine appears to be doing the same thing. I checked my USPS Informed Delivery account for tomorrow's mail and I saw a picture of a postcard stating that due to limitations on inventory, People would be suspending my print issues and giving me 6 months of free digital. My Mom is also getting the postcard.

PSA 2: If you haven't received issues of Martha Stewart Living, EatingWell, Entertainment Weekly, Health, InStyle, Parents or People en Español recently, it's because they have ceased print editions of those magazines and are now digital only.

Looks like it might be in the works...

other source saying that is not the case?

I had figured People would be one of the last to go down

I'd give it a few business days, and if it still says "suspended"...reach out to customer service. Sometimes the website just needs to update.

Another one that ceased print publication (although not a Meredith magazine)...is Ok!Magazine. I received USWeekly for remaining issues.

Yeah, when EW went MONTHLY it was only a matter of time. SAD about MSL. I never got any notice of that one. Still wishing for a free sub for Real Simple like the good old days!

I know...I loved MSL. I'm dating myself, but I've been receiving it since it first started (1991).

I gave that a try. It still shows suspended, but I'll wait and see if it changes after a few days. ETA: As of Monday it's still showing suspended, so I think I'm out of luck with my subscription.

I noticed the bottom of the postcard said "Thanks for being a People subscriber." I doubt the sincerity of that statement. lol

People is still going strong (for now)
People en Español has stopped.

I guess I am lucky one. I have 7 magazine subscriptions including People and Better Home and Gardens that are current and none of them are showing "suspended" and I haven't gotten any postcards about canceled magazine subscriptions. In fact, I received People magazine a few days ago and Better Home and Garden magazine yesterday. They are all free subscriptions.

Just got my official postcard today. Nuts.
Also, still showing "Suspended".
Maybe they are on to us.

If they can put them on grocery store shelves, then they can put them in my mailbox
