So..I signed on for a subscription to Cosmo magazine for two years. Part of the incentive was that they said if I signed up for a two year subscription online, I would receive a beautiful Cosmo handbag FREE with my paid subscription. Well I paid with my Visa credit card and that was four months ago. I never got my Cosmo handbag so I contacted them online and they said supplies were out, but I would receive an item of similar or more value in two weeks.
Today I open up my package from Cosmo and what did they send me? One of those fifty cent re-usable tote bags from the grocery store with the ugliest pattern I have ever seen! What a scam! -----> My advice for those incentives to subscribe to magazines: Don't believe the hype.

| I got a fleece throw from NYTimes about 15 years ago and we still use it regularly. I think you need to adjust your expectations about "free" stuff. |

| OP, did you buy two pairs of checkered Vans a couple weeks ago? |

| OP, are you sincerely surprised, or are you just pulling our legs? |

| Yeah, those free gifts are always crummy. Disappointing, for sure. My kids like them though! |

| That "beautiful Cosmo handbag" would have been a shoddy looking piece of vinyl crap, at best, OP. You're a naive one, aren't you? |
