A number of years ago I had a subscription to Cat Fancy Magazine and enjoyed
it very much. When I lost my job I didn't renew the subscription. Now I'm
not sure how many of you are familiar with the clothing catalog Newport
News. I'm not buying new clothes these days but have been a customer of
theirs for years. So imagine my surprise a few months ago when I got a
letter from Newport News in the mail offering me a choice of 3 free magazine
subscriptions (up to $150USD value, IIRC) for being such a good, loyal
customer!

Cat Fancy was on the list so I selected it. I also selected something
called Best Friends which is devoted to all sorts of animals (comes out 6
times a year). I can't recall the third one but I know it had something to
do with cooking! :)

I got my first (new) issue of Cat Fancy and Best Friends, both, in the mail
today! What fun! I love to read so this is an excellent way to reward a
customer :) Sure beats the usual $20 or 15% off coupons that require you to
spend money with the company in order to collect your "reward". Kudos to
them.

Watch out! There is a company (maybe more than one) that handles these free
subscriptions. When the free period (usually a year) ends, they
automatically bill your "renewal" to your credit card. It is easy to

Nope, nothing like that at all :)

cancel, but you do need to watch your statements and immeditely cancel if
you don't want it. In some cases, a postcard will be sent in advance, but
it isn't very obvious.
