If you've ever wondered how to get quality reading material for FREE, then you've come to the right place.
As some of you may have read, I have a very good friend who is incarcerated so one way I'm able to help him is to send him subscriptions to magazines that he likes to help him pass the time. I've been digging a lot online to find different titles to send to him & since I've come up with a pretty huge list... I figured I'd add photos, descriptions and organize them a little bit so more people can utilize the freebies I've found.
Some of these magazines come directly from the source while others are offered by a company called Rewards Gold. Usually all it takes with Rewards Gold is a quick survey about a product (I've tried to find links that bypass the survey entirely but I wasn't able to do it for all of them) and your mailing address. There's also a company called Value Mags that offers free magazines from time to time.
Other magazines will be sent to you courtesy of Freebizmag or Mercury Magazines and they work when you provide them with information about your line of work. Then they match you up with free 'business' magazines. Sometimes you get great offers right off the bat but other times nothing pops up that you like. With them though, as soon as something appealing does become available... they send you an email and you get the first chance to sign up for it.I have been a member with them for years now and have received so many magazines from them that I actually had to start giving them away!
So... here is the list I've created so far and as I find more, I'll add them to it. Have fun everyone!

Thanks!
And thanks!
Thanks everyone.
Thanks for the list, Faith!
The magazines that are offered by Mercury Magazines or Freebizmag are a tad tricky especially if you're a stay at home mom. You might be able to get away with entering information for places you volunteer at, just a though. When I was working in the dental office I received a lot of health related magazines through them and then when I was doing daycare I got family ones. Now that I'm doing photography I was able to snag the 'American Photo' magazine and I'm really excited about that!
And I just realized that I ordered Self again through the Chevy video. I am so stupid.
Maybe I'll have contest each month for the extra one. *sigh*
Thanks so much Faith!!! I had seen the Lego one somewhere online earlier today and all it posted was an 800 number which is now crossed off of my list of things to do tomorrow...
Also, the Psychology Today magazine must be looking for something particular because after I filled out all the info;, it said "Sorry, can't find any applicable business magazines".
Thanks anyway!
I've tried to get him into books, but alas, it's a lost cause :/
The site at the bottom is undergoing maintaince.I'm looking for Family Fun mag...hopefully they'll still have it.
Marilyn
PS: Very, very nice of you to do this.
The Woman's Day one says no longer available. Other then that the ones I clicked on looked like winners :)

Hey girl!! Just something to hopefully bring a smile to your face.
thanks.
