This offer is part of a "market test" and when it was mailed several other
offers were mailed at the same time. The original poster has pointed out
a
poorly worded section of the offer that may have spoiled the test results
and the publishers may never know why the response was so poor. Tests
like
this are pretty expensive and forwarding the original post to the
publishers might be very helpful to them.


Maybe, but the OP indicated that a 3 year subscription should have 36
issues. No so. 2 of the publications that he already subscribes to, per
his comment, only offer 6 issues per year. He should not have been ignorant
to the fact not all magazines have 12 issues per year. And as per his
explanation, the offer was with 1 paid year you get 2 years free. No
indication that he would get 24 issues free. He basically is passing up
an opportunity to buy a 3 year subscription for a 1 year price. Had he
subscribed at the regular 1 year price he would still only get 7 issues per
year. I saw nothing poorly worded in his explanation of the offer.
