Free Magazine Subscriptions

I have always been cautious about "free" magazine subscriptions, just because I know that my own subscriptions sometimes try to get me to pay more often than I need to and re-order it for another year without my authorizations... so I finally decided to go for a free Woman's Day subscription since so many of you have said on here that you get all your mags for free. So i have been reading it for about 2 weeks now, they've already sent me 3! So my question is, what do I do when they send me a bill at the end, trying to get me to pay? Do I need to call or send it back unopened with "cancel" written on it, or what? Thanks.

And I thought this might be a good place to list any of the free magazines you all may be subscribed to already, just for fun. I also signed up for the 2 free Redbook magazines, where I've already gotten one so far.

I just write CANCEL on the bill and mail it back. Have not had any issues using this method. They may send 1 more bill, but that is it.

Thanks! I wasn't sure what would happen. Do you put new postage on it?

I get tons of free subscriptions with no strings attached. O, Taste of Home, Remedy, Ladies' Home Journal, TV Guide, Good Housekeeping.... there are more but I can't think of them right now.

I don't get billed for them. I only sign up for totally free ones.

I have gotten some renewal information in the mail but I just throw that away

Where do you ladies find the free subscriptions? I used to do Adperk but that site doesn't appear to be functional any longer...

I think it is FreeBizMag but I usually get mine here when someone posts a link to free subscriptions. Like today someone added one for FHM women. They also send me email updates now to sign up for new ones.
