Got this email as an Essential Baby subscriber: (don't think you need to be a member though to get this deal). But you have to be a NEW subscriber to the newspaper.

In conjunction with The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald, Essential Baby would like to offer you this exclusive subscription offer!

Have your newspaper home delivered every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday for 52 weeks, just $49*! You'll save over $315 off the newsstand price.

Available in areas where newsagent home delivery exists. Code: EsntlBby

    Why doesn't the Melbourne Herald Sun do these deals…

    I can't read The Age on the train, it's TOO big…

  • young_dazza on 25/01/2011 - 13:11

    In the SMH section it says "A charge of $49 will be made for a period of 52 weeks. Fairfax may vary the details of direct debit requests at any time by giving you at least 14 days written notice"

    Sounds like they plan to direct debit you more than once!

    • lazed on 25/01/2011 - 13:33

      Umm….yes…they charge you for the 52 weeks…when that's finished they charge you again….

    Just subscribed. I think $49 is quite cheap considering the Saturday paper is $2.50 and the Sunday paper is $2.

  • jmg146 on 25/01/2011 - 13:46

    Good Bargain, great price. Thanks for posting.

  • aussman on 25/01/2011 - 14:05

    was just looking for a deal like this thanks

  • chetsme on 25/01/2011 - 14:10

    it says: 52 weeks of Thursday-Sunday delivery for $49
    so, is it only for the delivery charges?
    are any additional charges for the newspaper? anyone?

    • vickster on 25/01/2011 - 14:34

      $49 must be the total for the actual newspapers and their delivery, because it also says "You’ll save over $315 off the newsstand price."

    • ozf1 on 25/01/2011 - 20:12

      I'm 100% cetain, there are no additional charges, I got a similar deal late last year.

  • hi5 on 25/01/2011 - 14:18

    Thanks, just subscribed :)

  • achw on 25/01/2011 - 14:38

    there's been a few deals like this in the past - and i subscribed to one of those. my question is, has anyone had theirs expire and automatically renewed for the same deal?? what happens at the end of the 52 weeks? i love this deal, and would love it to continue…

    • aussman on 25/01/2011 - 14:58

      you get offered $99 for the following year

      • achw on 25/01/2011 - 15:16

        thanks - still a good-ish deal. much better than the $150 or so i used to pay for just the weekends, or the $260 they charge on their websites…

    Good deal, all 4 days of The Age are the best ones to get - thursday has Drive & Green Guide, friday has EG, and weekend has about 14kg of reading material to get through :) Subscribed!

  • lambsie on 26/01/2011 - 18:52

    Great deal, signed up yesterday in the late afternoon, however had not received an invoice, or any confirmation email at all. Is it the same situation for everyone else? Il wait till after tomorrow.

    • m2000 on 26/01/2011 - 20:15

      yes, no email or tax invoice,
      But does have a confirmation page which you may print straight after payment is made…

  • mxyzptik on 27/01/2011 - 00:55

    Great deal/value … assume/hope I can get it later today.

    … would be great if it was inclusive of the environmentally-friendly ;) iPad app INSTEAD …

    but when The Age are asking $18 a month for the iPad app (all issues), clearly too much to hope for.

  • davo_4 on 27/01/2011 - 17:10

    Well the dymocks deal which ran about a year ago was $52 for 52 weeks (thurs - sun) which I thought was incredible value at the time. That has now lapsed so I have gone with this offer.

    Interestingly they sent a renewal notice with same $52 rate for 52 weeks however a letter arrived a few days later offering the same thing for $59.
    They also included a 7 day option for $99!. (but the extra $40 for 3 days is not really worth it).

  • arcticmonkey on 31/01/2011 - 19:56

    Anyone get any confirmation of this after purchasing?

  • mrshorty on 01/02/2011 - 14:45

    Ordered mine last night before the offer closed at midnight (even though u can still access it) havent received any confirmation yet.

    • mrshorty on 03/02/2011 - 18:57

      ok - received my first paper today! Even though no confirmation (via email or phone) was received

      But I was a monthly suscriber prior to this and cancelled my subsciption under a week ago just for this - so dont know if this attributed to me receiving my paper so soon

  • montemaj on 02/02/2011 - 10:23

    Still have not received any confirmation email myself. Unfortunately, I was not connected to a printer and was not able to print on the day I signed up.

  • aussman on 03/02/2011 - 20:50

    haven't got any deliveries yet signed up last tuesday

  • montemaj on 04/02/2011 - 08:43

    I have received my first delivery yesterday (Thursday ??? I thought it's Friday- Monday only). Then again our local newsagent delivery person always makes mistakes. I sometimes get Sunday Telegraph instead of Herald delivered. No email confirmation yet.

    • mrshorty on 04/02/2011 - 09:53

      i think u need to read the OP - the subscription is thur to Sun! Should have said so a few times when u were ordering

      • montemaj on 04/02/2011 - 10:32

        Sorry my mistake. The standard SMH 4-day subscription is Fri-Mon so mistakenly assumed it is the same. This means I miss the monday TV guide.

  • davo_4 on 04/02/2011 - 17:03

    Has anyone received their letter stating their subscription date expires on 4/12/2011? Given it's 52 weeks I would have thought it would be feb 2012?

  • dazzza on 28/02/2011 - 21:49

    Does anyone know if this is still valid? I use the link above, but doesnt give me the option to select $49 deal, it aint there, only $260 for those 4 days! Get to the step before payment and says $260, nowhere to put in a coupon, voucher or anything like that.

    • daydream on 03/03/2011 - 10:39

      Looks like offer at that price is over and as you say other (higher) prices are shown
