This was posted on here a few years back but the company had not been doing these $2 subscriptions for the past year or so. These links come from filling out the Bizrate surveys that say you'll get $100 in rewards at the end (the 4 magazines are the reward).
A lot of people seemed angry at the company in the previous thread but I personally haven't had any issues – the only time I get charged is when I forget to cancel and then I always get most of it refunded when I do finally cancel.
Various tips:
• You can order more than once, each order is up to 4 magazine titles at $2 each.
• You WILL receive a postcard about a month before your subscription will renew. Use these to cancel online or through their automated system.
• The postcard will have a phone # to call, a subscription #, the name of the magazines and the date by which you must cancel. Website is magcustomerservice.com.
• Cancelling the auto-renewal seems to end that magazine subscription for that time period so personally I always wait until the last week or so before the deadline. It will NOT cancel your subscription entirely if you have more than 1 year on the magazine, just probably the remaining time for that year (maybe not even that, I don't know for sure).
• You do not want to let it actually renew but if you do they WILL refund most of it after you call or use the website to cancel. The amount that doesn't get refunded depends on how long it's been since it renewed.
• For some magazines when you're calling/online to cancel they will give the option to have your original $2 fee waived if you do not cancel. Take this option if it's offered – you can then immediately cancel after that. Now the magazine was completely free (they will credit back to your debit/credit card that you used originally.
• Virtual credit cards will probably not get you out of the charge - I've never tried it but from the last thread that seems to be the case. Just cancel when you receive the postcard, it's really not difficult.
IF YOU WANT TO ORDER MORE THAN ONE YEAR OF A MAGAZINE (a little extra work):
If you want more than 1 year of a magazine place 2 separate orders. When they order the 2nd year for you they will put your last name first, first name last. So on order would be under "John Smith", one under "Smith John". You can wait until you receive the first magazines and then go online to that magazines website to combine the order under the correct name. Or you could wait until the magazine has been charged to your account and check that magazine's online website to see if your subscription info is there (name & address should be enough info to find out). At that point you should be able to combine the two as well and perhaps not have any duplicate issues.
Some titles are not always available, though Time, Entertainment Weekly and Sports Illustrated always have been in my experience.

Not thumbing down, just warning people about the possibilities and why I wouldn't (and haven't) done this yet (I suppose that's thread crapping?)
I used to use magazines.com but I used a on-time use temporary credit card number so that they couldn't renew the magazine. That worked (the charge was denied) but they kept trying to put the charge through so my credit card company temporarily disabled the card because of what they believed to be fraudulent charges. It was a bit of a hassle but at least they weren't able to charge me.
Have you tried using that tactic?

As for the postcard getting lost in the mail..sure, it's a possibility. I've lost a card myself by accidentally tossing it in the shred - I had to call and get a refund for the remaining portion when I saw the charge. Automated system was a little convoluted but it only took a couple of minutes.
For those talking about using virtual credit cards/gift cards - I mentioned before that people talked about it not working correctly in the old thread, that the company still came after them for the money owed. While it seems like a good safeguard I personally would still cancel them when you get the postcard.

Too bad I never see my magazine in any of this offers! INTOUCH
I think the last 20 magazines I've ordered, about 14-15 have actually gone through. Still not bad for $2 and the magazines that don't show never get charged anyway. I find these deals are great for those $10-20 rebate cards.

Do they bill you If they cannot charge your card?
