Of the many options available, two photography magazines are available, “Digital Photo PRO” (which costs $7/yr during the “default sale”) and “Outdoor Photographer”. Many other “six degrees of separation” magazines are participating in the sale including WIRED, PopSci, fashion, sports, nature, etc….

Some of the offers require the use of a promo code, which is shown next to the offers that require it. You have to give them your email address to use the promo code, but then again, you have to give them your email address to create an account and place an order 🙂
