    Not very happy that they automatically auto-renew your subscription- though 30 Euro for 3 years, is remarkable.
    Thankfully, Fortune is a good deal more readable than the tat in Time Magazine.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,534 ✭✭✭Dman001


    Any digital access with the subscription, i.e iPad App access??


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 31,117 ✭✭✭✭snubbleste


    50c per issue until 2017..
    What's the 'executive watch' like..any link to an image?

    As this is a three year subscription, most credit cards will have expired and been replaced by the time the auto-renew comes around; so, they will have to get the new card details to auto-renew.

    So how do you actually cancel the subscription, can you not cancel the automatic renew now?

    The offer is not available through the fortune.com site

    Its issued twice monthly so ~ 60 issues for 3 yrs.

    Fortune is bi-weekly - it's 20 issues per annum

    Watch images attached - it's actually a decent watch. Leather strap might not last too long however.

    The one on the box looks better than the one on the guys hand

    Great find. Always on the look out for bargain magazine subscriptions as they're so expensive here normally, compared to the US for example.

    Anyone know of any good bargains out there for Time or the Economist or other decent mags?

    Cheers!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,065 ✭✭✭Pique


    Ironic that a magazine called 'Fortune' which yearly has the list of the richest people in the world, shows up in a bargain alerts thread.

    Same here, and the second I placed the order I started worrying whether it was a phishing scam. No "Verified by Visa" or other security checks, though it was https, and the whois seems to check out OK. Will be keeping an eye on my credit card for the next while until a magazine appears. :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,344 ✭✭✭Thoie


    I wonder if they have different watches for male and female "executives"?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 205 ✭✭SitUbuSit


    I got my confirmation email. Check your spam folders if you haven't received it. Mine took about 2 hours to come through...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,791 ✭✭✭Linoge


    Excellent find OP!

    They are gonna be delivered in double issues. Still hard to see how they are even covering the cost of postage for these!?

    Probably posted by container ship?

    I read an article in the paper yesterday which said it was cheaper to send a certain fish that is caught in Scotland to China to be filleted and back to Scotland to be sold, than to hire people in Scotland to do it.

    I just hate the idea of automatic renewal at a price you dont know.
    They should really contact you before renewal

    It does look weird. If you go to the www.fortune.com homepage and follow the link for subscriptions at the bottom of the page, you get a completely different offer at a much higher price with a gift of an Encyclopaedia Britannica DVD. Same if you go to the homepage of the domain the OP's link redirects to (www.timeinc.com) and follow the subscription page links.

    Still, if you're paying by credit card, you can't go too far wrong. You can always get your card provider to charge back the transaction if doesn't turn out to be kosher.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 114 ✭✭dman15333


    Did anyone else get a confirmation email.I placed the order at 11pm yesterday and still haven't got the email, and the card hasn't been charged.

    They get far more in advertising revenue- than it costs to publish and ship the magazine. Having a larger distribution list simply means they can charge the advertisers even more. When you get your first copy- you'll get a bit of a surprise at just how much advertising is in it. Thats how its funded. Your 30 Euro is simply the icing on the cake for them.

    Where did you get that they're going to be delivered in double issues? It mentions that that it publishes 2 double issues (each counting as 2 in the annual subscription of 20) but I don't find anywhere about each issue not being delivered separately?

    Yep, you're right. I read it wrong

    I ordered Saturday got 2 confirmation emails this morning at 4am and 7am. Hope they haven`t given me a double order.

    I got the same at 4am and 7am and I only placed 1 order.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,344 ✭✭✭Thoie


    Same here - the first said the subscription would start late Feb, and the second was an altered version that said it would start early Feb. I read the second mail as a correction to the first.

    I think they are delivered in double issues and they are the 2 delivery dates.

    They should really contact you before renewal

    They say that they do contact you before charging your card:
    Preferred Subscriber Automatic Renewal Program:
    Credit card subscribers, we will continue to renew your FORTUNE subscription at the low subscriber rate, without interruption, unless you tell us to stop. At the end of your initial term and then before the start of each new term, we'll simply charge your credit card in time to lock in the savings then in effect. We'll send you a reminder, with a number to call if you wish to cancel, before we charge your card. You may cancel at any time during your subscription and receive a full refund on all unmailed issues. If your credit card is inactive, we'll bill you directly instead.

    Fantastic deal, there can be some great content in that mag ....thanks to OP!:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,911 ✭✭✭bradlente


    Nice find op.Not bad for 50c a mag even if it's a piece of tat.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,772 ✭✭✭jameshayes


    For anyone worrying about the auto renew - I wouldn't - the vast majority of cards will have expired by then so the numbers will be useless


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,807 ✭✭✭g0g


    Did anyone else never get a confirmation email? I registered on Sat or Sun but haven't heard anything since. Have checked gmail spam folder too!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,687 ✭✭✭✭TheDriver


    I see TIME has a 1 year offer with the auto renew so its crowds like TIME will catch people who still have cards in date.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 461 ✭✭sector_000


    Nice one OP :D
    Signed up for the 3 year.
