Present or no?

[jethrien]

Did anyone give me a subscription to New York Magazine and/or Time Out New York? I've started receiving both, and I don't know why. It's a very nice present if someone gave it to me, but if no one did, I really need to call up the magazines and let them know there's a mistake. (No, nothing's shown up on my credit card, so I don't think I purchased this somehow accidentally.)

I went to the NY magazine website and cancelled the subscription. No idea where it came from.

TONY's annual subscription only costs $20 anyway. I know that there are a lot of things that offer free TONY subscriptions with them, like gym memberships or whatever. So I wouldn't be surprised if the TONY sub was because of something you bought. NY magazine seems to have just started randomly mailing stuff. I wonder if they decided to give away free subscriptions to boost their circulation numbers for advertisers.

Both darkling1 and I have received strange subscriptions out of nowhere. In my case, it was Newsweek courting me back after I canceled them (turned out to be a promotion, too, from the airliner that I have miles with). He got and keeps getting TONY for free, too. They've threatened to cancel for, I think, a year at this point. He's never sent them money, but the magazine still shows up every Wednesday. Might just be a spamming thing, see who'll pay for it.

I originally received TONY for free after buying a Roundabout Theater subscription one year, but I never renewed the magazine (or the theater subscription) and have continued receiving TONY for free.
