Radio Times Subscription

[Maydup]

I'm looking at a gift subscrption for the Radio Times. Its expensive in my opinion but its what the recipient has asked for.

Can I do any better than £60 for 6 months? Can anyone find any current offers that better the price? I dont want to commit to direct debit.

There used to be a lot of deals around, now I just pay by DD both for my own and a running gift sub.

Six issues for £6 and then £39.99 for every six months

[sunny-dave]

Or £49.99 for a single payment.

The current Radio Times has 6 months for £65, but you will receive a £50 John Lewis gift-card. However, it is by Direct Debit which you can cancel "at any time".
If interested, can be done online .....buysubscriptions.com/RTP4618

Correction......this offer^^^can be for a single payment of £60 too and get your £50 JL gift card....

[sunny-dave]

A cracking offer, ginge - but (in my region at least) the 'added extra' is only on the Direct Debit option?

[gingejbee]

s-d...have just tried all regions and I get the option of £65DD or £60 single payment for all of them......

[sunny-dave]

But the text saying "+ Added Extra" is only under the red wording saying 'Save 21%' for the DD option - not under the 'Save 29%' for the single payment?

[gingejbee]

s-d.....absolutely correct....wasn't that obvious to me, though!

[sunny-dave]

No - quite obscurely worded I thought.

Slightly off topic, but how did you find the offer - are there any other mags it applies to?

[gingejbee]

Just had lunch.....the offer was in the current edition of Radio Times (which we pay full price for each week!) and no other sub offers mentioned.

[gingejbee]

....although there are subscription deals on other mags, here.....

No JL gift cards though!

Thanks Ginge

[Maydup]

Thank you I have saved a tenner. The same website but different prices is all very odd, but I settled for 6 months for £49.99, which I had only seen for £60. I really didn't want to set up a direct debit and have to cancel it later, although the £50 JL offer was tempting, this suited me perfectly.

did you get the option of subscribing for the right region?

[Maydup]

Have you signed up now Ginge?

[Maydup]

I did thank you jno, there was a drop down menu and I chose the region for the recipient. Then came my details followed by their details as the recipient for gift membership.
