Golf Monthly Magazine Deal

[KhalJimbo]

Just incase you haven't seen it and are not already a subscriber (I got the mags through work before) there is an offer on to subscribe for £6.66 for the first 6 issues. Just signed up myself!

 

[Hacker Khan]

Sweet deal that. I got an offer where you got 24 Nike balls, a couple of sleeves of each of their current range so you could see which one suited you best. So assuming you would end up buying 24 balls anyway for say 20 quid a box, I ended up paying something like 5 quid for the years subscription to the mag.

Just placed my order

I'm obviously somewhat biased, but I think at £1.11 per issue this is a really great deal for newbies to try the mag, or those who haven't read it for a few years to give it another go and see how much it has improved recently!

What about us who've subscribed for a while now?

And this month MikeH has managed to slip a real ale flyer into it!!

Cancel it and then take up one of the new offers? I've had about 5 dozen golf balls from one magazine by doing that

Always difficult to keep everyone happy Chris! If I were you I'd keep my sub rolling until a deal came along I liked, like a wedge or dozen balls I played, and then cancel and renew. This probably isn't the company policy, but hopefully gives you better value for money. We've also discussed making our reader opportunities open to subscribers only, with mixed opinions among the staff here, so that may or may not appear at some point.

I always get my subscription renewed as a xmas pressie. Always think i'm missing out somehow. I do think long time subscribers should automatically get the offers, ie a dozen balls at renewal.

An understandable comment but these offers are just the incentive to bring in new subscribers. Just like the catch with this 6 issue deal is that you need to also sign up for an ongoing DD subscription afterwards.

It just wouldn't be cost effective to give them to every subscriber, every year. Long term subscribers get a magazine they obviously like delivered to their door for a fair discount on the cost of buying every issue off the shelf.

To be honest Jake I'm happy enough

At the risk of being Fraggered, I would point out that I have other magazine subscriptions and one of them does exactly that. I'm not sure, having just seen what I believe is the renewal DD in the bank account, that the discount is that much; certainly not when compared with the motorcycle magazines I have on subscription.

It's not a complaint, merely an observation offered as a discussion point.

 

[Garush34]

Just signed up for this. Used to subscribe only reason I didn't renew was because I was moving house a couple of times in like 3 months.

 

[Hacker Khan]

When you go to the US you can get subscriptions to mags for peanuts. I worked out it was cheaper to subscribe to one of the golf mags there for a year than to buy 2 copies at the cover price. Crazy.

 

[Odvan]

Coming from Bolton, I can't read.

But I've subscribed, regardless. Be rude not too.

A lot of people seem to forget that when ever they took out their first subscription they got the gift or the big discount and repeat subscribers get a 22% discount on the cover price plus we have the subscriber rewards programme that offers bespoke benefits (aiming to get more golf specific ones on board next year) but as a business there’s no way we could afford to send everyone who renewed a dozen premium golf balls!
