UPDATE: the sale continues on Monday 8/8/16…

Another weekend, another Weekend Sale at DiscountMags which recently added digital subscriptions, so now you have to pay attention to the listings. The digital subscriptions say (Digital) after the magazine’s name and have a “Powered by Zinio” tagline. This weekend sale is the standard weekend sale:

Printed Magazines
+ $5 per magazine per year for Pop Photo or Digital Photo or Outdoor Photographer
+ $9 per year for Digital Photo Pro
+ the usual terms, up to three years, new/renewal/gifts, magazines delivered by mail to USA addresses

Digital Subscriptions
+ $6.75 for 1-year of Smart Photography
+ $7.60 for 1-year of HD Video Pro
+ digital subscriptions through Zinio
+ only 1-year available, either New or Renewal

Some Printed Magazines include Digital Downloads
Some of the printed magazines delivered by mail also include a digital download, sometimes it’s the magazine itself, sometimes it’s bonus items. Items with this option have a “Digital Download Included”, eg look at the listing for Wired or ESPN or Vanity Fair

Oops, I did the time-math wrong, this expired Tuesday night, not Wednesday night…

The DiscountMags Weekend Sale post got me looking for magazines, and sure enough, for a limited time, you can get 1-Year Digital Photo digital subscription through the Zinio service and apps for $5 for 1-year. This is part of their Limited Time Sale (no expiration date is mentioned). Zinio subscriptions can be read in a Web Browser along with their apps for iOS, Google Play, Windows Metro (Kindle Fire can sideload the Android apk).

The weekend is upon us and with it we have another Weekend Magazine Sale at DiscountMags, now with a new addition. In addition to printed magazines, they are also offering digital subscriptions (redeemed through the Zinio service/app). Digital subscriptions mention this in the listings (Digital) and have a “Powered by Zinio” with a “?” explainer. Here’s a screenshot of a digital one:

Of camera and photo interest:
+ Popular Photographer for $5/year, up to 3 years, PRINTED
+ Shutterbug for $9/year, 1 year only, DIGITAL
+ Smart Photography for $6.68/year, 1 year only, DIGITAL
+ various $5/year magazines: Wired, Popular Science, ESPN, CNet, etc
+ see them all at the Weekend Magazine Sale

Some Printed Magazines now include Digital content
Another new feature at DiscountMags is that a subset of the Printed magazines now include Digital content to go with it. The eligible magazines mention this with the “Digital Download Included” in their section. You can use your browser’s in-page search feature to search for that phrase. Pop Photo is not eligible for this, but other non-photography magazines are, here’s a screenshot for Wired:

Digital content varies by magazine. For example, Wired offers this using their own Wired app (iPad, Nook, Kindle Fire [not sure why they don’t have a Google Play option]). ESPN offers ESPN Insider access, and such. Check each magazine of interest to see what and how they offer this.

PS: I haven’t tried any of the digital options yet, so I don’t know how they work. If you have any existing subscription, it may also be eligible if the offer is available through the publisher’s website. Simply follow the instructions as given by the magazine’s website.

The weekend is here, and so are the DiscountMags Weekend Magazine Specials, the theme this time around are discounted 2-year subscriptions, with three photography magazines going for $9 per magazine per 2-year subscription (Popular Photography, Digital Photo, Outdoor Photographer), while Digital Photo PRO goes for $15 for the 2-year period.

Other options include the ESPN Magazine or Popular Science for $5 each for a 2-year period, Wired for $9 for the 2-year period. The only subscription duration option is 2-years for this promotion. These are good for new subscribers or renewals or gifts. These are printed magazines delivered to USA addresses. Offer ends Sunday night.

PS: “Pho” in the blog-post title is for Photography/er. Actual Pho dishes or recipes are not included 🙂

Three of the four available photography magazines go for $5 per magazine per year (Pop Photo, Digital Photo, Outdoor Photographer), while Digital Photo Pro goes for $9 per year. The usual terms apply, limit up to three years per customer, good for new subscriptions or gift subscriptions or renewals. These are printed magazines delivered to USA addresses. These do not renew automatically unless you manually renew them (Amazon switched most of their offers to auto-renewing subscriptions which some do not like). Offer ends Sunday night as usual.

For people in their emailing list, National Geographic has a limited time offer getting you a 1-year Digital National Geographic subscription (not the printed magazine) for $6. The promotion appears to be built into in the individual email links, because I can’t get the link to load stand-alone on a browser without clicking to it first from the email. So YMMV.

This weekend sale ended with the weekend 🙂
