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 🙂

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.

EDIT: This freebie was first posted ten years ago and is still active! Also I'm well into my 30s now and still love LEGOS.

Quick, name one toy cooler than LEGOS! ERRRNT, time's up, it was a trick question since there isn't one. LEGOS not only are timeless, but they are amazingly awesome when it comes to passing time and bring creative. I'm 35 and I still find myself constructing skyscrapers and spaceships probably a little more often than I should. I figure a free two year LEGO magazine subscription will only help fuel my addiction, but I'm okay with that.

This free Red Bulletin magazine subscription from RewardsGold is a new one to me. According to Wikipedia, they “feature breathtaking sports, culture, music, nightlife, entrepreneurship and lifestyle stories.” Awesome! I lose my breath merely thinking about doing half those activities, this has to be right up my alley.

*thinks about going outside tonight, starts hyperventilating*

This freebie has returned!

Mercury Magazines has free subscriptions to Oprah's O magazine, the only magazine title that sounds as if it were just startled. That is unless you happen to frequently scream “REDBOOK!” when walking through haunted houses.

For occupation, you can select “Other” then “Homemaker” via Industry. Also you don’t have to do anything else once you’ve submitting your mailing address. There are a bunch of “offers” that show up on the confirmation page – you can just skip those and close the window.

This offer from January 2009 has returned!

RewardsGold has new free Forbes magazine subscriptions for anyone who isn't already getting millions of magazines a week. Some Hiffers might want this freebie to keep up with financial and stock news, but not me. In fact, I don't even know if that's what Forbes writes about. I've never actually read an issue.

I'm going to plaster mine all over my apartment walls. With winter fast approaching, I'm looking for any way to lower my heating bill. I tried building a fireplace in my living room last year, but apparently it's not as simple as starting a fire under an open window. I'm still finding soot all over my house. Now that I think about it, I swear both of my dogs used to be yellow…

I almost feel bad offers like this free subscription to Esquire magazine. A forrest equal in size to Connecticut has probably been razed thanks to all of the free magazines we get.

That's why I propose we all give something back to Mother Nature. There are plenty of ways to do so, but I buried a few old Esquire and GQ editions in my backyard so they will one day sprout into new trees. Isn't the circle of life a wonder?

After you submit your address, you'll be presented with some “special offers” that you can ignore.

RewardsGold has a new free Outside magazine subscription offer out. All you have to do is take a short 10 question survey on your favorite snacks. It might just be me, but I've found that the more I eat snacks, the less I want to go outside.
