Get dozens of free magazine subscriptions mailed to your home at no cost and 100% no subscription ever! These free subs are offered multiple times yearly.
It's been a while since I've found a brand new magazine offer! Yet Mercury Magazines has surprised us with this free W magazine subscription.
W magazine operates at the intersection of fashion, film, art, music, and society, both in print and digitally. With its combination of world-class photography and sophisticated journalism, W is a must-read for anyone interested in the worlds of style and contemporary culture.
Hmmm, this might not be a magazined aimed at the Goob demographic. Right now I'm operating at the intersection of grief, insanity, eating too much cake, and laughing at the stupidest things.
This 1-year subscription is valued at $10 and should arrive within 6-8 weeks. Like all other Mercury Mags freebies, your freebie request is complete once you submit your address. All “special offers” after the mailing address page can be ignored.
It's going to be nice to finally read this magazine, especially since they write about HIF all the time without telling me! I'm sure there are at least another dozen issues where I have no clue they mentioned HIF.
You'll have to copy & paste the link below in order to get your free PETA kids comic books. I'm personally holding out for a PETA / Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover that nobody else is asking for.
Very funny, Mercury Magazines. Give us a freebie completely centered around something we can't experience. Outside. What even is “outside” anymore? I don't believe it ever existed in the first place!
After filling in the job fields, Mercury Magazine will show you the freebie stock. My “job function” also changes each time I get a Mercury Magazine freebie. My new occupation is whatever I can click the fastest 😀
Then, once you submit your address, the signup process is complete. Any “bonus” offers shown after can be totally ignored.
Here's a new limited time offer from Mercury Magazines for a free 1-year Allure magazine subscription. This offer is perfect for those looking to brush up on their fishing equipment knowledge. I believe each page contains a single photo and you to decide whether it's a lure or not.
As with other Mercury Magazine offers, you simply need to answer six short questions about your profession before submitting your mailing address. After that, you're all set! No credit card or payment is ever required whatsoever. Any offers after the address portion can are purely optional and are not required in order to get the complimentary subscription.
As with every other Mercury Magazine freebie, the signup process is complete after submitting your address. You can safely ignore any of the “special offers” they show afterwards. This freebie expired quickly the previous time it was available, so don't delay if you're interested!
If you don't know what to say on the profession questions, you can always select these basic responses.

Mercury Magazines has a newfree Entrepreneur magazine subscription offer available. It's been over a year since I've seen this offer!
I sometimes say I'm an entrepreneur when meeting people or making casual chit-chat. It has a nice ring to it. Plus, saying you're a blogger doesn't quite hold people's attention.
Like with all Mercury Mag offers, remember to skip the non-magazine offers presented at the end.

Mercury Magazines has a newcomplimentary Women's Health magazine subscription offer. They don't explicitly say this offer is for women only, but I decided to go undercover just to be safe. If anyone asks, I'm Goobina and this dress looks fantastic on me. 🤫 💃
Remember, your freebie is complete after submitting your address. Any offers after that can be ignored.
There's a new free Martha Stewart Living magazine subscription offer available here from eMags. I guess nothing says living like making a table centerpiece out of pine cones and potpourri.
Now that I think about it, this free Martha Stewart Living subscription will be the closest I'll ever get to having a home makeover. Although I'm not sure I'd actually want Martha Stewart to show up at my house one day. Something tells me she'd get one look at my bedroom and have a heart attack. What?! It's not my fault there's an inch of dirty clothes on the ground and the old pizza in the trash can is only days away from becoming sentient.
What's that? Oh, it is my fault? Whatever, you can either keep standing there playing the Blame Game or partake in a much more important round of Help Goob Find His Keys. It's not the weather's fault that I've been stuck in my house for the past few days, if you know what I'm saying.
Fun fact. According to my Google image search for this 2-year free Cosmopolitan magazine subscription, the writers and editors over at Cosmo know of at least 48 bajillion sex moves that us peons are unaccustomed with. I'm just as much a red blooded male as the next guy and even I think they might have a problem. Somebody get these people into rehab or something.
As with other Mercury Magazines offers, you only have to answer six short questions about your profession before submitting your mailing address. You can skip any subsequent offers by clicking “No Thanks” at the bottom and you never have to give out your credit card or payment info whatsoever.
If you want to stop paying money on magazine subscriptions, then this page is for you! Just be careful – not only will you save money, but you might also get so many free magazines that you'll lose every inch of kitchen counter and table space 😀
Below is an auto-updated list of every current free magazine offer we've found, sorted with newest offers at the top.
The date shown after each title is when we most recently confirmed the availability.
You can also browse our free magazine archive. This includes both active offers along with expired offers so you can get a feel for the types of freebies typically offered throughout the year.
How to Get Free Magazines
It's amazingly simple. All you need in order to get magazines for free is:
A mailing address
That's it!
You will never need a credit card number or any payment information. Do not fill out any form that asks for any type of payment for a free magazine!
The selection of titles and number of magazines will change each month. Most offers are for either a free one-year or two-year subscription.
Why do companies give away free magazines?
That has an easy answer – they want your contact information so they can resell it to marketers and advertisers!
Haha, there's just no way to sugarcoat it.
Many times a single brand will sponsor a free offer by purchasing a huge amount of subscriptions to give away, like 50,000. In exchange, they'll receive a copy of the survey results and contact information of everybody who gets the freebie.
So how do you get around this? I'm glad you asked – don't give real personal information!
Can I use fake info to get free subscriptions?
Absolutely! In fact, if anybody asks, my name is Mr. Snrub. No, seriously, I always sign up with the fake name Montgomery Snrub! 😎 And it's fine – the USPS delivers my magazines each month addressed to Mr. Snrub!
On top of that, I always give fake answers about my age and occupation. There's no law saying you have to be honest on the Internet!
For emails, we always suggest using a free email address just for these type of freebie offers.
You just want to make sure to give your actual mailing address so they know where to deliver the magazine issues each month!
Are these magazines actually free?
💯 Yes! I know it seems too good to be true, but these offers are legit for all the reasons I explained above.
Remember, you will NEVER need to provide a credit card or payment whatsoever. Not now, not tomorrow, not ever.
If you somehow reach a page asking for your payment information, even for just a single dollar, then you have mistakenly clicked on a wrong link somewhere and should exit the page immediately.
Will I ever get a bill?
NO! You will never get a bill for your free subscription.
Some magazines will send you a renewal request that looks like a bill, but if you look carefully there will always be fine print text that says “this is not a bill.”
Seriously, I've been running this website since 2005 and have received hundreds of free subscriptions over the years. Not once have I ever received a bill.
Can I get free magazines if I already have a paid subscription?
Absolutely! Free subscriptions actually stack on top of each other! So if you already pay for a magazine, you can “add” additional years to the end of your subscription for free.
Let's say you bought a one year subscription to People magazine and have three months remaining before it expires. If you signed up for a free subscription today, it would start the month after your paid subscription ends. You would then have your three remaining months plus the next 12 months for free, giving you a total of 15 additional months.
There's no limit on these either. Most magazines are offered for free multiple times each year, so you can keep stacking the subscriptions on top of each other and continue getting your favorite magazines for free!
Is there a limit to how many free magazines I can get?
Not that I've ever found! It would be impossible for me to literally count the number of magazines I've got since I started this site over 16 years ago. I've never once encountered any sort of limit!
What can I do with all these free magazines?
Aside from reading them yourself, you could send them to a friend or family member as a present.
You could also donate them to a local library, school, doctor's office, or business. It's always nice to have new reading material in a waiting room.
Do I have to send the magazines to my house?
Nope! You can send them to your office or wherever else you want. Literally any valid USPS mailing address will work.
This also means it's super easy to sign up a friend or family member for a free sub. It's like getting them a gift all year long that you don't have to pay for!
Where can I get digital magazines?
For digital magazines, check out Mercury Magazines and Valuemags listed below.
Companies That Offer Free Subscriptions
What are some websites where I can access free magazines and ebooks to read online?
You can get enough reading material to last for hours every week and still have plenty leftover to donate, use for art projects, or burn in the backyard for impromptu s'mores.
Mercury Magazines
Mercury Magazines are the irrefutable king of magazine freebies and it's not even close. They don't have a central list of available publications on their site, but instead they release roughly 10 to 20 new offers each month, one at a time. You never need a credit card or payment info whatsoever.
When requesting a freebie from MM, you'll always have to answer three simple occupation-related questions. Then, you'll submit your mailing address and that's it!
You can skip all of the subsequent “special offers” by clicking “No Thanks” at the bottom of the page. After you decline all the “bonuses”, you'll eventually reach a confirmation page for your free subscription. However, you don't actually have to load this confirmation page. I always exit out of the browser immediately after submitting my address!
If you don't want to answer the profession questions, then select these basic responses! 1-4 / Other Industries / Homemaker / Other Function / None / None

Here are some of the top available Mercury Magazines offer:
RewardSurvey updates their free title selection on a monthly rotation, like clockwork. In fact, we keep a running list of all monthly RewardSuvery freebies here! The beauty of RewardSurvey is they rotate some high-value magazines, like ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Rolling Stone, Time, and Wired.
One difference with RewardSurvey is they require you to spend “reward points” to redeem magazines. However, these are easily earned by taking short – and random! – quizzes. Seriously, my two most recent quizzes were on my choice of travel methods and my choice in peanut butter flavors.
These surveys only take about 3-5 minutes to complete and then you can immediately redeem the points for freebies.
Free Trade Publications, Books, & Magazines
One of the most long standing sections of HIF is our free trade publications area. You've probably never heard of most of these. I sure know I haven't. But since they're insanely specific to certain jobs or professionals, I'll sometimes run across computer or website magazines that I sign up for. Seriously, they have an insanely massive list of free magazines up for grabs.
Give the “topics” list a glance to see if there are any you might find useful!
Valuemags
Valuemags.com routinely offers free magazine subscriptions as well. They typically have 5-15 offers available, with new publications rotating in every month or two.
One nice perk with Valuemags is that they'll email you confirmation of your free magazine subscriptions!
If there are any current Valuemags offers, they'll be listed below:
Recyclebank – Closed in 2022
Recyclebank used to regularly offer anywhere from 40 to over 100 free magazine titles. However, they unfortunately pivoted the direction of their company in June 2022 and stopped offering accounts or freebies to most people
RewardsGold – Closed in 2019
Started in 2005, RewardsGold and their sister site RewardsCountry were the premier sites to get free magazine subscriptions. However, in December 2018, both sites went offline for an overhaul. If and when either site returns, I'll post a full list here.
Now please don't sign up for all of these unless you want to give your mail carrier a hernia. 🙂
