But that's really conspiracy theory of me. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-receive-free-magazine-subscriptions-in-the-mail#post-529679 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 23:31:04 +0000 BeachMama 529679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same thing has happened to me. I started getting Shape, Women's Health, and Vogue. It started right after I had LO so at first I thought it was a random gift (though kinda cruel to send Shape to a new mom). I went online to cancel Vogue and it said it was paid through 2014. So random. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-receive-free-magazine-subscriptions-in-the-mail#post-529570 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 22:14:30 +0000 JerricaBenton 529570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got Marie Claire for years without subscribing or paying. After a really long time they started sending bills and saying 'this is your last issue if you don't renew!' type stuff. I didn't pay and eventually they stopped sending it. I know the magazine business is in the toilet so maybe they send them in hopes to get you hooked enough to start paying? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-receive-free-magazine-subscriptions-in-the-mail#post-529545 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 21:44:06 +0000 littlebug 529545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I once got a whole year of Us Weekly for free. Never paid for it, never figured out where it came from...never complained! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-receive-free-magazine-subscriptions-in-the-mail#post-529540 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 21:41:04 +0000 T-Mom 529540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I receice a Spanish language fashion magazine which is pointless since I don't speak Spanish... But my last name is one of those names that no one can figure out, so I guess they pegged me as Spanish speaking and I just recycle it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-receive-free-magazine-subscriptions-in-the-mail#post-529460 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 20:35:17 +0000 littlecasita1122 529460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg yes! My husband gets some kind of Money magazine and I've been getting Entertainment Weekly randomly (like not every week). We've checked our credit card statements and no weird charges every show up, and we're pretty sure no one gifted them to us. So weird! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-receive-free-magazine-subscriptions-in-the-mail#post-529416 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 19:59:30 +0000 rachiecakes 529416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES! I randomly get Golf Digest and Car &amp; Driver. I also started getting Sports Illustrated. I can safely say that I never subscribed to these magazines.. so weird!<br /> I've been getting Golf Digest for years now.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-receive-free-magazine-subscriptions-in-the-mail#post-529404 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 19:52:29 +0000 Ash 529404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelingbrit: I also get 'baby' and don't have one of those yet either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-receive-free-magazine-subscriptions-in-the-mail#post-529377 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 19:26:57 +0000 wheres_c 529377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol @Ash </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-receive-free-magazine-subscriptions-in-the-mail#post-529330 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 18:47:31 +0000 Ash 529330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started getting 'yachting'... Too bad I don't own a yacht. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-receive-free-magazine-subscriptions-in-the-mail#post-529286 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 17:34:49 +0000 yoursilverlining 529286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started getting Cosmo delivered to my parents address recently. I haven't lived at home in almost 10 years and never use my parents address for anything so I'm totally stumped how/why I'm suddenly getting a free magazine subscription there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-receive-free-magazine-subscriptions-in-the-mail#post-529214 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 15:57:46 +0000 MaisyMay 529214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been getting Baby, but that's it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-receive-free-magazine-subscriptions-in-the-mail#post-529178 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 15:19:08 +0000 MrsH 529178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got redbook randomly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-receive-free-magazine-subscriptions-in-the-mail#post-529163 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 14:58:19 +0000 kiddosc 529163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We randomly started getting Family Circle and Highlights. No one has said anything about getting it for us, and we haven't been charged. LO is only 8 months old too, so Highlights is a little advanced. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-receive-free-magazine-subscriptions-in-the-mail#post-529157 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 14:55:28 +0000 wheres_c 529157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My SO has randomly been receiving readers digest for the last 2years. His family is Spanish speaking so we know they didnt gift it to him. I asked mine and they said they didnt either. Weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-receive-free-magazine-subscriptions-in-the-mail#post-529032 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 13:11:16 +0000 birdofafeather 529032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the last couple months I have started to receive several magazine subscriptions in the mail that I have not paid for. I would think they were an anonymous gift but they ALL have my maiden name on them and I've been married for almost 3 years! My mom even got me two other subscriptipns for other mags so it's not her and family on the other side would buy People (my MIL loves it!) if they were going to gift something. Currently, I'm getting Shape, Glamour, US Weekly, and I just got W mag the other day too.</p> <p>Anyone else have this happen to them?! I know I didn't sign up for them and I haven't been charged anything because we check our statements regularly. I'm stumped! The end date on US weekly says Oct 1014?! </p>
