National Geographic Magazine International Delivery USD $37

60

I somehow mucked up my subscription to this deal about 18 months ago http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/60393. I suddenly had an urge to subscribe now and thought I'd follow the link to see what price it is showing now.

The USD 37 isn't as good as $22 but it is better than the AUD 44.25 which seems to be the standard subscription price on this page https://secure.customersvc.com/servlet/Show?WESPAGE=OrderPag…

Although if you have iphone or ipad the "All Access" deal for AUD 39 on that link look like the best option (I have Android).

With this option I suppose your final AUD price depends on what happens to the AUD vs USD in the next 3 months as their confirmation email says they only charge your card just before they ship the first issue and that delivery of the first issue could take 8 - 12 weeks.

With the standard subscription you may get a "gift" / "freebie" but I'd rather pay less and just get the mag.

The original poster in the linked post said on expiry of the subscription they send you a few reminders to resubscribe at the standard amount and eventually send you a low-ball subscription offer. I'd be interested to know what people's experience is with that. It would be interesting if it was possible to get a renewal subscription for less than this $37 on future renewals.

  • I bet you get it for the articles, right?

  • just got May edition yesterday and $22 subscription has come to an end but will wait for another $22 deal.

    • You can just go to your local doctor or dentist surgery and read them for free…

  • I was in that $22 deal about a year ago. I realised after a few months that I had not received any, and found they had not deducted the money from my account. So I emailed them and they started the subscription straight away, even before I paid. They sent me a new invoice at the same $22 price. Might be worth trying if you subscribed previously and did not get them.

  • I am a lapsed subscriber to the hard copy of NG and have received multiple 'we want you back/your offer is inside/not to be missed' specials on the cover price subscription. Usually it's $149 I think and that includes a fleece jacket. I am actually interested in the jacket the picture looks nice, but it's not like I can go online and find reviews on it and the sizing isn't that specific (sometimes L can be XL or M there aren't any measurement descriptions). I think the last time they offered a clock radio, or maybe that was New Scientist. I wish Zinio and other online mag subscriptions expanded into digital podcasts as well, one of the best things about having a normal subscription to The Economist (hard-copy) was the access to the voice/podcast versions of the economist. If you can get over the BBC accents it is easier to get through things on the fly than having to sit down and flick through one on your iPad or physical copy. You miss out on most of the figures/charts though.

    • Also my bad: the $149 was for two years I think. Then they sent me another offer for around $50 for one year which was 'final'. Half decent when you consider that is approaching promotional prices.

  • I actually bought thus about six months ago after my 22 one ran out. Yet to receive an edition, emailed them and now I have to go through my bank statements to see if they have deducted the amount. I've had poor customer service before when trying to change address (it took seven emails).

  • I bought a subscription recently through Groupon after my $22 subscription ran out - http://www.groupon.com.au/deals/national-deal/-national-geog…

    It is $44.25 but I had a $10 off coupon (unique code sorry) for Groupon so it came to $34.25.

  • ordered 12 issues! $37 with up to 12 weeks before first delivery.

  • I got a shipping confirmation today. Not sure what it means though. It doesn't seem to mean that the first issue has been shipped as it says US and Canada should allow 4 - 6 for the first issue to arrive. It talks about a tracking number / link, but there isn't one.
