| Why am I getting People magazine all of a sudden? The label says August 14. Should I be worried ? |

| You're lucky, I'm suddenly subscribed to Allure, which, I guess, is better than the sudden Prevention subscription that appeared when I turned 40! |

| Maybe someone gave you a gift subscription. |

| We get it and Time Magazine free. We just assume it's the zip code. |

| Lucky you. I am over 50 and have been getting Cosmo for the last year and a half. What's up with that? I get free issues of Backbacker, also, which actually does make sense and doesn't immediately go into recycling. |

| Yesterday I got Glamour in the mail. The label indicated a one-year subscription and said, under my name, Lands End Bonus. I did recently order clothing from them but don't remember anything about a mag subscription! I think magazines are so desperate for circulation numbers that they are giving themselves away. |

| My wife ordered something from Garnett Hill and the purchase qualified her for a subscription to "Glamour" -- according to Glamour. |

| They are trying to suck you in. Your name was probably purchased from another magazine. They give a few months and then send you a renewal notice. |

| You won't get sent to collections, don't worry. Mags are shameless now...they send the most random stuff. PP is right...they hope that you'll like it so much you will actually pay for it. |

Trust me...Magazines don't send out issues for free to anyone.
Either someone has signed you up for a gift subscription (!) or perhaps you have some flying miles you need to use up or someone else does so they transferred them into magazine subscriptions. People magazine is a popular magazine pick for these points. |

| Mysteriously, I get Redbook. I can't imagine anyone signing me up for that gift subscription. |

| PP again. I'll trade my Redbook for your People! |
