How much are you guys paying for C&D subscription?

FC · 10-08-2013, 11:01 AM

The last few years I've been on auto-renewal for $20/year, and I always react too late to look up ad see if that is reasonable.

I still remember the days of $10/year.

What is the typical going rate?

Mine is thru Amazon Prime @ $10/yr.

For some reason R&T started sending me magazines and they want $7/yr.

Automobile for $12y here.

I feel like $10.

I made two decisions regarding car magazines in the last year or two:

1) I decided to just do digital subscriptions going forward.
2) I decided that I'm only going to subscribe to Top Gear.

I haven't received a paper car magazine in about a year now. Automobile and C&D subscriptions have expired, and I may have another year on R&T (I think I did a 3-4 year renewal at one point due to a ridiculously low offer that was well less than $10/year)...

Top Gear is expensive at ~$50/year -- but I was no longer enjoying the US-focused mags. All the info in them was dated by the time it was printed. TG still has the dated issue when it comes to news and reviews, but they have more interesting other info...

I have been letting my car magazine subscriptions lapse but before that they have all been $10 or less a year.

EDIT: Yeah I have subscribed to UK CAR magazine before but hard to keep renewing at the price

At this point, I don't think my C&D sub runs out until 2017. Every now and then, I get an offer somewhere for $1 a year or something ridiculous like that, so I tack it on.

I thnk my R&T sub has been at $3 or $4 a year the past couple years.

Automobile is through Amazon and just auto renewed for $10/year

I have the usual collection of magazines (too many actually).

I subscribe through my brothers kids fundraising programs at their schools. So the prices I pay are a bit more than the usual $10/year cost.... I don't worry about the $$. I'm helping them out in their fundraising.

Amazon has 2-years for $15 so I did that.
