Digital subscriptions

IZinterrogator · May 2, 2015, 02:28 AM

I had a hard copy subscription for many years and switched to digital when the app came out for Android. When I had the hard copy subscription, I was constantly getting offers for reduced subscription prices, but with the digital subscription, it's full price every time. Why is that? I am disappointed that for the price of a one year digital subscription, for five extra dollars I used to get three years of magazines that had to be printed and mailed and ended up taking up space in a closet. I'm trying to scale down and streamline my lifestyle for when I retire from the military next year and reducing all my periodicals to digital versions is one of my steps. Is there a way to get a multiple year discount for digital subscriptions or anything that makes the costs comparable?

Long time, IZ.

We agree with your point. You'll notice that we dropped the yearly price for digital to $19.95. That's a significant discount from the print version. We're hoping to have a bundled product (Print and Digital) by year's end.

Hope that helps.

Rich, it definitely does. Thank you very much!

Rich, the subscribe button on the app says $19.95, but when it takes me to the Google Play payment screen, that still says $34.99.
