I had subscribed to this magazine for 5 years. With great difficulty and after a period of 7 months after the first issue arrived, I received my free gifts they had promised. This too was only after having written several mails, and threatening them to go to the consumer forum! And now, after 2-2.5 years, magazine issues have stopped coming totally.
On my recommendation, my brother had also subscribed to this magazine for 5 years. Its more than 18 months, and he has not still received his free gifts! You never know when his magazine issues will stop appearing!!
As for the contents, this is the only magazine for advertising buffs, and that is why people fall for it. It used to be exclusively about advertising earlier - gradually it has become more businesslike!! Also, the number of pages has been on the decrease regularly.
Never subscribe it. Its like a prepaid card that doesnt work!! Yes, if you can afford the cost, buy it at the newstands.
