FREE Subscription to Parents Magazine or Parenting School Years Magazine (+ More Options!)

Hip2Save may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you via trusted partners and affiliate links in this post. Prices and availability are accurate as of time posted. Read our full disclosure policy here.

Check out how you can score a FREE subscription to either Parents magazine, Parenting School Years magazine, Scholastic Parent & Child magazine, Field & Stream magazine (+ more!)…

* Go here and “like” Magazines.com on Facebook, then click on the “Fan Event” tab to score a $5 Cash Savings Pass – which you’ll be able to use like cash on any Magazines.com purchase! Just make sure to copy the code you receive after “liking” their page.

* Next head on over to Ebates and login or register, then search for Magazines.com in the search box. After doing so,  scroll down and you will see a HOLIDAYMAGS coupon code listed (like the pic below) – click on the “Shop Now” link.

* Once you are on the Magazines.com site, stay on that page (as these are the magazines that are valid for the HOLIDAYMAGS code) and scroll down, then choose to sort low to high.

* All of these magazines listed above will be FREE when you combine the HOLIDAYMAGS code with the exclusive savings code you scored from Facebook.  I chose Parenting School Years! I LOVE all the additional bonus coupons and savings that are usually found in these magazines!

* Start the checkout process and login or register, then enter your mailing address. Under the payment info section (don’t worry about filling it out!) there is a question with a box that states “Do you have a coupon code or gift card for this purchase?” Check the box and input the HOLIDAYMAGS code in the coupon code box and then the exclusive savings code from Facebook in the gift card code box. Now click “Apply to Order”


* Your final cost will come to $0 AND you won’t have to enter any credit card info! Gotta love it! 😀

    Thank you!

  4. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    That’s Awesome, thank you! And thanks for the step by step instructions, I would never been able to figure that out 😉

  5. Barb J

    thanks. got it.

  6. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    Thanks!

  7. christi

    awesome! got the parent and child mag

  8. Melody

    You’re Awesome! This is my favorite website 🙂

    I tried it… holidaymags code gave me $5 off but when i went to enter the gift card code from fb, it said the code was only worth $.03 off?? Tried quite a few times and it’s not giving me any more $$ off than that..lol

    • Catherine

      Did you do the HOLIDAYMAGS code first? I tried it in the other order and it didn’t work either (I hadn’t read the steps closely enough).

      • Bianca

        I did, it just isn’t working 🙁

        • Catherine

          Sorry 🙁

    • Bianca

      I am having the same problem

    • Sonal

      I had the same problem, you have to put both codes in at the SAME time

      • SenoraE

        It is because you already used that code. If you tried to buy a $4.99 mag the first time, you will only have $.01 left – if you tried to buy a $4.97 first time, you’ll have $.03 left. Don’t be greedy and try to use it more than once… please don’t ruin this for the rest of us by attempting to order a million with all your different accounts. Thank you.

        • Jennifer

          I think people were just using the codes in the wrong order…not trying to do the deal more than once…I don’t even think Magazines.com would let someone do a deal more than once anyway…

        • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

          That’s not what their doing, the code really isn’t working properly. Maybe you should get your facts right before you make a rude comment. Thanks

    • Kola

      I was also having problem during checkout. After I clicked “submit order”, it didn’t go to the “Thank you for your order” page, instead it went back to the page where it asked for my email address to get started. So I tried to start over the checkout process, but the $5 FB gift code no longer worked. And I waited for a while but still hadn’t receive the email confirmation.Then I called the customer service to see if the order went through and the lady searched for a while and finally found my order. I did verify the order total with her just in case.
      FYI: The code, HOLIDAYMAGS can be used more than once. I tried to use the code on selected mags(doesn’t work on all mags), and it took the $5 off.

  10. Ann

    I get so many magazines and never pay for them because of you. Thanks Collin!

  11. Rebecca Jeffries

    This is an awesome deal thank you so much 🙂

  12. Karissa Naslund

    My code is only taking off $0.01 is this happening to anyone else?

    • Catherine

      Did you do the HOLIDAYMAGS code first? I tried it in the other order and it didn’t work either (I hadn’t read the steps closely enough).

  13. Amanda B

    Mine is only taking .03 off. UGH. Guess this one isn’t worth the hassle to call CS over…

    • Julia

      That happened to me too. I don’t know why.

      • Jennifer

        I did this too me too. then i went through the ebates.com link. and it worked. and I just put each one in seperately but the HOLIDAYMAGS one first.

  14. Karin

    Wow, awesome offer! Although they say this offer will be applied to auto-renewal, I didn’t put any CC info, so I don’t think they can charge my card even after my subscription has expired. Thanks so much!!! 🙂

    • Catherine

      Yeah, I was wondering that too.

      • Karin

        I got an auto-renewal notice letter from Blue Dolphin last month, and it says my subscription has renewed & wanted to send a payment to them. I showed it to my hubby, and he said it was a notification, not a bill, so I ignored it. Also, look at my magazine, it shows my expiration month on it. It is July2012, that’s why I totally ignored it because I remember I had a free offer with that magazine. Don’t know why, but many of my free magazines often came with the renewal notification envelopes with them even though they aren’t expired yet. So confusing.

  15. Kelly

    Yea!! I just got Field and Stream for my husband and boys. Thank you Collin!!!!!

  16. AMANDA

    I didn’t get to read the fine print totally before hitting submit….Does it say something about automatical renewal?!

    • Catherine

      “Automatic Renewal Service By clicking Submit Order, you agree that now and prior to each renewal term Magazines.com will charge your credit/debit card at the low price in effect. If your card cannot be charged, we will send you a bill. You may cancel your subscription or automatic renewal status at any time after placing this order by calling 1-800-MAGAZINES. Your satisfaction is 100% Guaranteed.”

      • Catherine

        But since we aren’t providing a card #… maybe it doesn’t apply?

      • Jennifer

        They do send notices before they would charge a credit card (they keep one on file if you have ordered from them before), and there is a link in the e-mail to decline the automatic renewal. If you haven’t used them before and don’t have a credit card on file, then they probably just send a renewal notice requesting payment if you want to continue the subscription.

        • AMANDA

          I have heard they send you notices about the mag renewing..and if you don’t reply back that you don’t want it anymore, they send you to collections.

          I am going to have to check my email for the cancel automatic renewal..thanks for that tip

          • Jennifer

            They won’t send the e-mail until shortly before it renews though, so that could be a year or two for some of these magazines:) I just got a renewal notice for another magazine I ordered last year through magazines.com and I of course declined the auto-renewal. I think all of their magazines are like that though–the only thing I don’t like about them.

            • Nicole

              I just called saying that I wanted to “opt out of the auto-renewal” and they nice guy on the phone said that since I used a gift card, they would not send a bill or auto-renew. 🙂

          • Crissy

            I hope not. I never respond to those auto renewals. I don’t even open them so I didn’t know there was an option to decline on it. I’ve never gotten any kind of collection call or notice about it.

            • Karin

              Me neither, Crissy. I just dump them un-opened and never got any calls or warning letters.

              Thanks so much Nicole for calling CS to ask about this. Now I’m so relieved! 🙂

  17. Amanda

    I “liked” Magazines.com on Facebook, then click on the “Fan Event” tab to score a $5 Cash Savings Pass however at check out it only took .03 off not $5.00 🙁 the HOLIDAYMAGS worked bit it still made it $4.98 🙁 not free

    • Jennifer

      Try putting the Facebook code in the giftcard field–it worked for me there.

  18. Melanie

    Awesome deal! Thanks! 🙂

  19. Kat

    My gift card code is only taking .3 cents off! The Holiday code is only good on some magazines also.

    • Megan

      I went back into facebook unliked them and reliked them… got a new code and it worked. Thank you Collin!

  39. patti

    Thanks…I got Automobile magazine for son turning 16 next week. GREAT OFFER!

    You rock, Collin! I was even up for renewal on my current subscription. Thank you so much for this!

  41. MommyConfessions

    Thanks so much! Hubby’s next deployment is coming up, and it’s always helpful to have some extra magazines to send him. Worked like a charm!

  42. Kyrisa

    I love Parenting School Years! Thank you for helping me score another year of it for free!

  43. txmomx3

    I’m frustrated. I tried it and only got the .03 cents. I even tried to do get the code under my husbands Facebook and it was the exact same code as mine. Any suggestions.

    • Kola

      I think you should call their customer service to see if they can adjust it for you.

  44. Kelly

    You are the best! I got House magazine for free! Thank you!!!!

    • kidsallgone

      Me toooooooooooooooooooooo 🙂 (only 6 issues though)…AND I too always toss the “renew” bills in the trash w/out even opening them. I think they just stop sending me the magazines though when I don’t renew. The only one I’ve paid for is Weight Watchers so I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled for that renew notice!! AND….I guess my free magazine offers must have given my name/address to several other magazines because I have been receiving some STRANGE ones lately that I KNOW I’ve never ordered (like W or Spin)!! Weird stuff! Free…but weird! LOL!
      No need for the “Parent/Child/Scholastic/Learning etc” magazines!
      Hence my name: kidsallgone 🙂
      (27yrs, 29yrs, & 30.8yrs) 🙂 🙂 🙂
      Thanks for another freebie Collin!
      My post office lady told me that I needed to get my mail out of my PO Box every day because my magazines can’t all fit in there! LOL!
      I do read most of them but also give some to my daughter, mother, and a local school 🙂

      • kidsallgone

        Oh….AND will get $??? back from Ebates.
        Anyone know? It was a huge range, so not sure.
        But free + anything back = 🙂 🙂 🙂

  45. Pam

    Thanks, followed your advice and it worked. Everyone must follow the instructions closely ALSO you can only DO THIS DEAL ONCE per computer AND 1 FB code. The gift card codes from FB are all different.
    HOPE THIS HELPS!!!! If you try different FB accounts on the SAME computer it will give you the SAME code— YOU MUST go to a different computer to sign into your FACEBOOK acct……

  46. melissa

    worked perfectly for me!! Thanks Collin

  47. cassie

    Thanks! I got Parent and Child now that all my kids are no longer babies!

  48. Mari

    Does anyone know if they do autorenewal on these? I try to cut down on number of “autorenewal” items I have to remember to cancel….

  49. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    thanks worked fine

  50. cjlk

    Got my husband OutdoorLife , Thanks so much Collin!
