I subscribe to ESPN mag. However I get GQ, SI, and wired without having ever signed up or paying for them. What gives?

I get SI and ESPN for about $18 a year combined. I've considered some others but never went through with ordering them.

I get game informer because I signed up for their power rewards or whatever...I would never actually pay for a magazine.

Understood. The only reason I got ESPN was for insider and my nice was selling them for school. My question is why do I get the other 3 considering I've never paid for them.

Are you sure you didn't get them free with some sort of membership? I got fhm for awhile for some random membership

Golf Magazine and Golf Digest. Only b/c of those "free" offers they give you while you're in Myrtle Beach to play the par 3 challenges.

I suspected that, but I've been getting wired and SI for 2 years. GQ just started like 3 months ago.

I get the Atlantic. I used to get Scientific American, but their mag is going down hill so I didn't re-up.

I got this really great magazine subscription when I paid $12 to JJHuddle. It's only $0.99 a month!

I get SI. My parents gave it as a Christmas gift in 1974 and it is an annual Christmas gift for me. The magazine has went downhill over the years but it still beats underwear and socks as a Christmas gift.
