Save $20 Subscribing APC Magazine

APC Magazine I have been a loyal reader of APC Magazine for many years, and have been a subscriber for the last 9. Although I have been getting most my technology news on-line these days, I have always enjoyed reading through APC. It is informative, has great editors and columnists, and has presented technology news well with an Australian perspective.

So it is my renewal time again. I received a reminding mail in my letter box while I was on holiday. $79 for the annual subscription. Fair enough — that’s how much I usually paid. After I came back I got a bit too busy and just left the renewal form there sitting on my desk. I wasn’t in hurry. Besides, winning “TurboCAD” just doesn’t excite me…

Then yesterday I received another letter from APC Magazine asking me to renew. Except re-subscribing APC for 1 year is now only $59.95! In order to get that discount, you need to visit MagShop’s website (ACP’s online shop-front) using an alternate URL — clicking into it, and APC subscription will change from $79.95 to $59.95!

That makes each issue of APC Magazine only $5, delivered directly to your door. That’s quality content + DVD-full of software for the price of a small value meal at Maccas. What a deal!

This offer is only available until September 15, 2006, and I am not sure whether it can be used on new subscriptions. Well, that’s another year of APC for me.

    $59.95 does not work for me. The first page offers it but by the time I get to checkout it has bounced back to $79.95. Changed browsers. Cleared cache. Signed up. Still $79.95 - so no APC fo me.

    Weird. I used the same link and got myself renewed for $59.95. Maybe it only applies to renewal but not new subscribers. This is odd as people tend to be willing to pay more for new customers.

    Maybe it is website backend issue. I just tried again, logging in with my MagShop account, and after the item gets added into the cart, it shows up as $79.95 instead of $59.95. It was certainly working for me last week — maybe the APC guys spotted this “exploit” and closed it up. :(
