17 Ways to Save Money on Magazine Subscriptions

In addition to free two-day shipping and tons of shows to stream, did you know your membership includes access to free magazines?

It’s called Prime Reading.

And the publications you have access to include Time, Popular Mechanics, Runner’s World, and others.

Also, you’ll get a six-month subscription to The Washington Post as well.

9. Don’t forget Kindle Unlimited for $9.99!

Don’t just use your e-reader for books.

Use it to save on magazines as well.

Sign up for Kindle Unlimited and get access to over one million (yes, one million!) titles for $9.99 per month.

10. Use cash back or points from your rewards card

Do you have a rewards card?

Use it towards a subscription to your favorite magazine.

Use some of your cash back balance to buy a subscription.

Or see if you can redeem points for subscriptions.

Also, if you have airline miles you won’t be using go to MagsForPoints.com and exchange those airline miles for that subscription you want.

11. Use social media

Have a favorite publication?

Follow them on social media.

See if they announce any special subscription rates or sales.

Also, many like Time அல்லது Sports Illustrated offer content on their Facebook site for free.

This might be an option if you don’t want to pay for a full subscription when you’re only interested in an article or two per issue.

12. Get free magazines in your town

Your public library likely has every popular magazine in circulation.

And you can read as few or as many as you like for free!!!

All you need is a library card.

The issues might be a week or so old, but still you can’t beat free.

13. The Doctor prescribes free magazines

What happens to all of those magazines you see in your doctor’s waiting room?

More likely than not, they just get thrown in the trash.

If there are any you like, ask them if you can keep them.

If they’re older than a month or two old, they’ll likely say yes.

14. Get by with a little help from your friends

As the old saying goes, caring is sharing.

Does one of your friends subscribe to a magazine you’re interested in?

With the Christmas season upon us, many publications are offering free gift subscriptions when people renew their existing one.

Ask your friend if you can be their gift subscription.

Also, get a group of friends together, decide on a list of mags everyone wants, each person subscribes to one or two, and share amongst the group.

If you get a group of four together, you can read four for the price of one!

15. Mix & Match

By all means, you do not have to use just one of these suggestions.

See what you can combine and compound the savings.

உதாரணமாக, go to one of the sites that offer discounted subscription to secure a low price then use the cash back from your rewards card to pay for it.

Or if Amazon has the best price on the one you want, use Swagbucks to earn an Amazon gift card and buy the subscription that way.

Or, as previously mentioned, go through Rakuten and get 25% cash back from an already low rate from magazines.com

Double the savings, double the fun!

16. Look for magazine subscriptions packages

To compete with the competition, a lot of publications offer subscription packages that can save you a lot of money.

Look for those and other deals before you fork over your hard-earned cash.

17. Last but not least, use your subscription!

Few things are more wasteful than spending money on something you don’t use.

That applies to gym memberships, streaming services, and (yes) to magazine subscriptions.

Put that subscription to good use, read and then apply all you learned from all of those articles.

You didn’t pay good money to clutter up your coffee table or email inbox.

Happy Reading & Happy Saving!

Now that you’re armed with the knowledge of how to satisfy your passion for reading while staying true to your commitment to saving money, go forth and read to your heart’s delight!
