Some magazine have a $0.99 processing fee. While note bad, I did not include them on this list since they're not 100% free. I've only listed 100% free subscriptions below!

Free magazine subscriptions in exchange for random surveys have been a staple in the freebie scene for as long as I can remember. RewardsGold is obviously #1 in that department, but RewardSurvey is another I've talked about a few times on here and right now they're offering a rare free ESPN the Magazine and New York Magazine subscriptions. One of the main reasons I keep coming back to RewardSurvey is they tend to always have at least one rare, exclusive free magazine offer.

After signing up and completing a short survey (usually around 20 basic questions), you'll get $20 credited to your account that allows you to request most of the free magazines they offer. You can then log back in once a week, take the new survey, and add more free money to your account that can be redeemed for more free magazines or refer a few friends. All in all it takes me under 5 minutes (usually broken up during commercial breaks while watching TV) to get enough credit for the most expensive magazine offers.

Finally, if you want a magazine that's only marked as available for “new subscribers,” try signing up a different member in your household! Live alone? Use your middle name 🙂

Here's another new freebie magazine offer, this time for a free People magazine subscription for the next year!

I don't know what's going on with all the free magazine offers this week, but I've learned to never look a gift horse in the mouth. Those suckers spit more than rabid camels.

After submitting the first page, you should get a confirmation message along with an “offer” for another deal. Simply click “No thanks” and you'll walk away with a 54 free People issues!

In almost 15 years, this is the first time I've found a free Entertainment Weekly subscription all by itself! Usually they're only offered through RewardSurvey or something, but here it is. All you have to do is take a short survey on your favorite type of music.

I may have slightly exaggerated and left the impression that I'm a musical savant who can play every instrument ever invented.

If you're asked about any additional offers, simply answer “No” and you'll get just the magazine subscription for absolutely free!

There's an incredible rare free Sports Illustrated magazine subscription still available from RewardsGold! SI is great for sports fans, but don't be fooled by the name. I've yet to find a single issue containing nothing but illustrated sketches. All they seem to contain are professional, high-res, glossy photos.

After entering your shipping address, you have to take a short survey on luggage. Because who among us hasn't watched a baseball game then immediately thought “you know what? I need to go pack a suitcase!”

If sports aren't your thing, be sure to check out the remaining Rewards Survey magazine freebies. Their monthly supply hasn't been exhausted and I find it's always nice to see what they have left before the new month rolls around.

RewardsGold has a new signup form for a free Real Simple magazine subscription. It's real simple to request Real Simple. You simply really answer their really simply questions and start receiving your Real Simple magazines in six to eight weeks.

So simple!

Here's a new FreeBizMag offer that looks promising. While I've never heard of this free Afar Travel magazine subscription, I do look forward to wistfully staring at pictures of distant lands while curled on my couch. It's safer there than going out in the real world. Well, as long as I stay on the edge. The chips I spilled in the cushions long ago have grown arms and now grab at me whenever I lie back.

When asked if you want to signup for any business publications or additional offers, just say no.

RewardsGold is offering a rare free Cigar Aficionado magazine subscription. Lowly connoisseurs and enthusiasts need not apply.

Heck, this offer actually breaks the mold and quizzes you on the subject of the magazine too! Seems fitting, plus I was getting tired taking surveys on my peanut butter eating or daytime television watching habits (two actual surveys RewardsGold recently asked for free magazine offers)

Also remember that you can put fake info for your “friends.” Also after submitting your address, I was offered 9 bonus free magazine subscriptions.

Aww man. The original version of this post is from August 2016, where I'd just got home from seeing my favorite band in the world STS9 with 20 of my closest friends and family in Atlanta.

Unfortunately, that's not what I did this past weekend. But, as for the freebie, Mercury Magazines is still offering both free Fast Company magazine subscriptions along with free Inc. magazine subscriptions.

Either are perfect for entrepreneur or business-minded folks who enjoy reading articles on how other people became trillionaires by age 23.

Sadly my name is not Marie nor Claire, so I doubt any of the articles in today's free Marie Claire magazine subscription apply to me.

This offer is from Mercury Magazines, which is my favorite planetary publication.

After you submit your address, you'll get a “special offers” page that you can skip. Simply click the “continue” button without checking any boxes and you'll get a confirmation screen for your free subscription.
