    Hey,

    I wanted to subscribe to the economist. So I googled the economist student discount. I was brought to economistsubscriptions.com, I didn't notice that it wasnt the economist.com.

    Anyway I ordered, but I realised that they never asked me for the security number on the back of my card. I also never received an email about it and it says that it will take 21 days to receive my first issue.

    There are no terms and conditions.

    I think it seems bit odd. Has anyone ever ordered via that website before.

    Is this the page you subscribed on? If so it's legit, the link to subscribe from the economists main website directs to that page.
