    Just a heads up for anyone with a “P” to their name, it seems it auto-renews the subscription. 😠

    unless your card on record has expired as mine had, noticing the £79 coffee + mag thing AND the new subscription bag of coffee enticement which i assume I won’t get.

    It’s no different to any other mag though surely? You only ever get the free gift when you subscribe.

    Or pretty much most subscription based companies those and thing like insurance. They take a hit on profit with a gift or discount to entice new members. It’s been discussed on here before when beanies were the deal.

    That may be true, still feels a bit rubbish as a regular subscriber. Feels like we are being taken for chumps.

    Just cause others do it doesn’t make it right.

    infact I’m pretty sure I never got my T shirt when I subscribed way back in time. 🤔

    Call round to STW towers, moan about the forum and drink their coffee.

    I think I got a beanie? Or a T Shirt?? You can have the beanie if I can find it. 🙂

    So you’re saying all 6,000 subscribers should be given a bag of coffee? Not sure that’s viable.

    Where did I say that?

    What I said was long term subscribers get nothing for their loyalty.

    So if every subscriber was to cancel and renew the mag would implode as its not viable?

    Cancel the subscription and then resubscribe a week later and then get the free gift…

    For my £15 i get several copies of a pretty decent mag over the year, new content launches and some great conversation and often great advice on the forum thereafter for free.

    I’d consider that good enough value to supply my own coffee when reading the Mag.

    maybe split the bags and send one bean to each moaner subscriber?

    As said its is to entice new customer’s. I got a tshirt a few years back when i signed up. Everyone does it, new mortgage customers often get lower rates, sky were giving new customers a free tv (cant imagine them shipping out a free tv to all their existing customers) etc etc.

    Will you moaners just get over yourselves, it’s a business not a members cooperative.

    You got a shiny new forum and a revamped classifieds section. What more do you want?

    And we are made to feel valued almost constantly when using the site on mobile. Some people are never happy.

    So then who gets them and who doesn’t? Who pays for them?

    well loyal subscribers clearly get nothing for their loyalty.

    Who pays for them?

    obviously the loyal subscribers are paying for the loss leading new subscribers.

    Your loyalty to STW towers does have to be admired, it does come across a bit maybot tho.

    The mag isn’t viable. Its subsidised by the forum.

    for the record, I wasn’t demanding one. Just assuming it was a newbie thing.

    All the frothing, pun intended, is absolutely unnecessary.
