Five Free Mine Magazine Issues
Sorry hidden explosives enthusiasts, these five free issues of Mine magazine aren’t what you think. It’s actually a new twist on magazines, where you select up to five traditional publications (Time, Sports Illustrated, etc.) and they then somehow customize you Mine magazine issues to include articles from all five of your selections. Don’t ask me to explain it any further; I’m already confused on how they’ll decide which articles from each magazine to include.
This is almost more baffling than the time I discovered you could put cold food in a magic box and have it come out piping hot. How does that witchcraft even work!? I swear, my house is made of elven magic.
Great! Now I can’t complain that I don’t have anything to read. Thanks
Confusing, yes, but FREE! Not that I don’t get enough free magazines in the mail thanks to you guys.
Thanks! This looks different and useful – Especially the Real Simple articles!
Just signed up! We’ll see how this works!
Well geez, this was just put up today and they are no longer available. Maybe next near we’ll try for 2010.
I just did it a minute ago and it was still working. Said I would be getting my magazines.
could not figure out how to fill the form out. they had nothing next to the blanks…o’well
DANGIT!! oh well.
I don’t understand how this works – getting a magazine that’s tailor fit for me- but as mentioned before, it’s free so I am looking forward to it.
Received my first issue of Mine magazine today. In my case the publisher ignored the titles I requested (Food & Wine, In Style, Money, Real Simple, and Time) and sent the ones they chose instead (Golf, In Style, Real Simple, Time, and Travel & Leisure). Oh well, I guess 3 out of 5 isn’t too bad, especially when it’s free.
Those of you who signed up for this offer are going to get an EXTRA FREE ISSUE! I wonder if it will contain the titles each of us requested. Here’s the story:
Time Inc. owns up to goofed ‘mine’ magazine
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Time Inc.’s experimental made-to-order magazine, “mine,” is shipping out this week.
But many subscribers are getting a version that looks like it belongs to someone else.
Subscribers to the free publication have been allowed to select five of eight magazine titles that would make up the content for their personalized copy.
Many readers are getting versions that don’t match their picks.
Time Inc. Media Group President Wayne Powers is apologizing for the problem. In an e-mail Wednesday, he blames a “computer error.”
He promises a sixth free issue, instead of the five originally planned.
