AARP Rewards,

I was not able to redeem the People Magazine (6 months/30,000 points). The message said:

Purchases of this item are limited to one.

Please checkout the catalog for more items.

I last purchased this item more than a year ago on 2025-01-27.

When will I be eligible to purchase another 6 month People Magazine (6 months/30,000 points)?

Thank you.

Hi @jk4667 I looked at the terms on this shown for this reward, You can only get this once. I sort of liken it to a trial subscription term, you try it and the publication promotes this to get you to come on board.

You have 3 redemptions for points a month, but subscriptions based on the terms is once per mag it sounds. Possibly if you want to keep doing it for People Mag, try the 3 month offer for next time? Not sure on same mag offer, but worth a try.

it seems to me it’s just a way to do a trial offer for your points…and then you’ll buy one thereafter is the goal I think. Sorry.

Here’s the terms listed when I looked at your offer.

You can get many mgs for FREE absolutely FREE. Just google free magazines and you will likely get several options. I find Mercury and Blue Dolphin to be pretty reputable. You may not get each and every magazine you want but the ones they offer are FREE. You answer a few questions, fill in your name, and it happens. Some mags are digital while many are still printed. You will get mass mailings so make sure you are prepared for the onslaught Maybe code your name so you know when the stuff shows up you don't have to worry about it You may get the same offers from both companies, never hurts to add your name to both and get both. Either you gift the extra edition or it may extend your subscription length I have one that is scheduled not to expire until 2037.

I can read a lot of magazines online for free through my local library. It is called Flipster and I really like it. I just login with my library card number and there are many great magazines to chose from every month plus back issues as well.

Yes!
Libraries are such a great resource for soooo many things! Huge supporter of libraries. Many libraries partner with, Hoopla, Libby, Kanopy services. Highly recommend everyone to contact their local library to see if you have those in your area, for online books, movies, mags, games and more! Yay libraries!
