Cheers Dave,

I always wait for one of these deals to renew my subscription; Backpacker just isn't worth the full $18 per year if you ask me, but $12 for 3 years is always a steal regardless of what you think about the magazine content. Now if only they would put similar deal on for Climbing or Rock & Ice.

I have never ordered from discount magazine providers. Discount Mags seems legit from what I can tell. Has anyone had any problems with them? I would not want to get on a bunch of mailing list or get interrogation phone calls for not renewing in 3 years.

Ryan,

I have ordered from them in the past and never had any problems. No phone calls and no automatic renewals.

I've ordered 5+ different mags from them in the last couple years with no problem. I always just wait for the deal to come along, and usually buy 3 years (make sure to mark for a renewal, not a new subscription). Sometimes the subs take a little while to start (6-8 weeks) but that's pretty typical.

Thanks for the heads-up. Ordering process was simple. Got three more years!

I also subscribed to both BP'er and Outside.

Wanted to post here to give it one more bump as the deal ends today.

Huh, I keep trying the link, and it doesn't work. So I go to the website directly and search Backpacker, and it says $12/year. Help?

I got $12/3yrs for a renewal, but it listed much more for a new subscription.

Guessing the original subscription has to be through that website. I used "renewal" and still got the $36/3-year rate. I have a subscription but not through that site. Thanks though

I saw this too late (just now). I guess this is what happens when you log off BPL for the entire holiday weekend.

Anyway, I got a year renewal on Deekins for $2.99. Code: BFP224

I did not order my subscription to Backpacker specifically as a part of the black friday promotion, but I did order 3 years worth through discountmags at the $3.99/yr price through an earlier promotion. No problems so far, I've been getting my issues periodically after an initial lag of about 6-8 weeks for my first issue.

I should note that Backpacker does not always have a new issue each month, they run 9 issues per year, with fewer issues in winter months.
