Magazines.com: Another Free $5 Check?!

Yeah! It seems that Magazines.com is at it again! I woke up this morning to an email in my inbox from Magazines.com with yet another unique $5 code which means another opportunity to request a $5 check in the mail. Woo Hoo!

If you are signed up to receive Magazines.com emails, then you may have gotten this same email… an email that you may have trashed thinking it was junk. So search this email address service@email.magazines.com to see if any emails pop up. Make sure to look in your trash and spam. The subject line of the email is “A Gift For You — Go Shopping On Us!”.

Basically the email will provide you with a unique code to score a $5 discount on your purchases! Even sweeter, in the fine print it states “Your promotional code has cash value”. This means that you can actually request a check in the mail! Just head on over here, scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and fill out the form with your mailing info and gift card number. A $5 check will be mailed to the address you provide within 4-6 weeks.

Come back and let me know if you received this email too! 😀

(Thanks, Diana!)

    Thanks for the heads up I had one too!

    • Debbie

      OFF TOPIC but yesterday I received my $30 KitchenAid Mixer Rebate! The one we got when ordering from Kohl’s during Thanksgiving.
      Now waiting for the other $12. magazine rebate that went along with the deal. Sweet!

      • cdawnt

        Debbie, So happy to hear you got your $30 Kohls rebate, maybe mine will come soon. 🙂

    Thanks Collin, I just got my first $10 check yesterday from the last time. I was amazed. I did not think I would end up receiving it. I got the $5 email a few days ago and looked at the bottom, but I did not see where it said that it had a value like the others so I trashed it. I figured they caught on. I am going back and check again. Thanks for the heads up.

  3. ang3lr0cks

    I never got any of the emails for the $10, but I got this one! Yay!

  4. Amy

    Yeah – I got it!

  5. Deb M.

    Got it too! Thanks as I would have deleted it.

  6. Amanda

    I got a $10 check last week and have been watching every single e-mail from them since lol. Haven’t received this one yet though but still hopeful:-)

    • Michele

      Did the check come in an envelope marked magazines.com? Sometimes I dont even open junk mail.

      • Amanda

        Yeah- I beleive it said magazines.com across the front

  7. Lori

    I just looked. Mine is for a coupon code for $5, not unique. Today I got a mystery box savings with a bunch of discounted offers. But, I will still be on the lookout for a unique code!

    • Kidsallgone

      Scroll down to the bottom & there is a link to trade the code in for the $5.

      Worked 4 me 🙂
      Thanks Collin!!

      • yenay

        what link don’t see it

      • debbie

        i RECEIVED THE COUPON CODE, BUT DON’T SEE A “GIFT CARD NUMBER”. WHAT AM i DOING WRONG? IT WON’T TAKE THE CODE. HELP!

    • Kristy

      I got the coupon code too. I searched the email for the trade in code for the $5 check. I didn’t see it. I did just get my $10 check in the mail from them the other day! Love Free money!

      • Kris

        I also got a coupon code email and I also got the “gift for you email.” They are separate emails, the “gift card” has a unique code you can cash in and the coupon code is not unique, just $5 off your purchase. I didn’t get the emails last time, so maybe they sent it to a different group this time? Just guessing 🙂 HTH

  8. Adreanne

    Thanks for the heads up!! I got the email!! 🙂

  9. Nat

    Yes I got it!!! Thanks Collin. Nice way to start the day by making a little money 🙂

  10. Gail

    Awesome, worked like a charm! Thanks!!!!

  11. Holly

    I got it and never knew about redeeming for cash – thanks so much! 🙂

  12. Allison

    I just got my $10 check in the mail yesterday from the first one of these that we “discovered” 🙂

  13. Mandi Taylor

    Thanks, got it. And I was just about to delete it when I saw the post on facebook. 🙂

  14. Emily

    I got it too! Woo Hoo! Love free money!

  15. Ashley57

    Ok – how do I get on the magazines.com mailing list?

  16. Jennifer

    Yay! I got it this time too! Thanks Collin, I probably would’ve deleted it.

  17. Cheryl

    Thanks for the heads up! I just went and got mine! 🙂

  18. britt

    i got this one. i am glad i am so indecisive, i have been trying to decide what magazine to get all morning. i would much rather have the cash! thank you for the tip

  19. Renee

    Did not get this email with the $5 but I did get a $10 check yesterday from one of the emails I got in December. Thanks Collin.

  20. NewMommyConfessions (@NewMommyConfess)

    I got this email, which is awesome because usually I don’t get the good ones. I redeemed it but it does say that it will be mailed out “upon approval”. I hope they let these go! 😀

  21. G

    Be sure and go back a couple of days… mine came in Monday and I just didn’t pay it any attention. Thanks Collin!!!

  22. Jennifer

    I received an instant savings for $5. My email said to use the code JANDEAL to receive $5 off. I did not see any numbers anywhere. I did receive my $10 from the code back in December. I’ll keep an eye on my emails. Love free money too.

    • Amber

      I got that one, too. This would have been a separate email with that specifies gift card.

  23. Crystal

    I got an email that says it is a $5 coupon code and to redeem at checkout. I looked and looked and don’t see anywhere that says it is has cash value or how to request a check. Do you think my offer is something different or am I missing something? It appears to be only on certain magazines so it’s not really a gift card.

    • cdawnt

      Same here, mine is just a promo to get $5 off a magazine.

  24. tori

    How do you sign up for their emails? I don’t see anywhere to do that???

  25. Jill

    Thanks Colin! I got my $10 check from last time over the weekend 🙂

    • Jill

      Just checked my e-mail, only $5 off codes. Maybe I’ll get another e-mail in the afternoon. Can’t complain though… Thanks for everything!

  26. Dawn

    Thanks Collin. I’d deleted the email but went back and the check should be mailed to me.

  27. Amber

    Thanks for the heads up! I deleted the email but it was still in my trash folder so I filled out the form!

  28. Melinda

    I didn’t get the email. 🙁

  29. laura s.

    enter JANDEAL (on selected mags-https://www.magazines.com/coupon) to get 5 off. looks like it can be combined with the 5 off gift code!

    enter these on the payment page–check the box under the billing info-it says Do you have a coupon code or gift card for this purchase?
    enter Coupon Code: : JANDEAL
    and your code in the gift code section

  30. Mathilde

    Got it, thanks!!

  31. Dawn

    Looks like I only got the Jandeal code too….no cash value gift! Although I did find a cash code that expired 3 days ago 🙁 will definately be more cautious about reading these emails in the future!

  32. Amanda

    I just got my first $10 check from them yesterday. I have not gotten my second $10 check that I requested at the same time. I wonder if I will get it, or if it was a limit of one per customer (around that time). (And I did not get today’s email that Collin is referring to.)

  33. Erin

    Found the email in my trash folder….. Thank you for the post.

  34. Anita Myers

    Hello there, how do I sign up to get emails from them?
    thank you

  35. Rei

    Thanks – got the email 🙂

  36. JACKIE

    How do you search the e-mail address?

  37. mary

    The email I got today was for special surprise discounts on “favorite” mags. No $5 here!

  38. kd

    In the from on your email is it magazines.com or something else? Just wondering becuase I get so many emails. Thanks.

  39. Kelly

    I got one! Thanks for posting!

  40. Tabitha Decker

    just got it! yea!! but it said upon approval we will send you a check…hopefully i am approved…bahaha crazy!

    • Elisabeth

      tabitha, did you get a unique code, or just the “jandeal” code? 🙂

  41. Sarah

    Thank you for this post! I hadn’t received the other emails previously but did have this one today in my inbox!

  42. Joy

    I have signed up twice with these people..and never get anything..not even a newsletter..hmm…

  43. Elissa Jones

    I redeemed mine!! Yay! I hope they keep them coming!! 🙂

  44. Lisa

    I didn’t get the other ones, but I got this one! woohoo!

  45. frugalfemme

    Just the $5 off magazine offer here as well. I did get my $10 check last week from the last time (and I filled out my second email for the $10 at the same time but I think the deadline had passed).

    And to answer an earlier question, the sender shows as magazines.com (service@magazines.com) in my email and is found in the Ms if you sort by sender.

  46. dave

    thanks – we just got our $10 yesterday as well!!!!

  47. Brittney

    If anyone is not planning on using the $5 code, I would love to use it for a magazine I’ve been wanting! My e-mail is angelkiss911 @ hotmail . com. Thanks!!

    • Amanda

      Try JANDEAL for $5 off

  48. jill

    I know $ is great, but this is a GREAT way to get a good deal on All You 19.97- 5=14.97 (Plus 26% Cash Back on Ebates!). Or you can use the code JANDEAL along with your gift card # to get Parents (makes perfect baby gift), Parenting, and lot of other magazines FREE! Most of these do come with coupons! I get these emails on a VERY regular basis and would hate to quit because everyone took the cash value. I give them for presents for Mother’s/Father’s Day, Baby gifts, Valentine’s, B-days, Christmas, etc. People love getting something every month and they send a FREE postcard announcement to the person which you personalize. I have also gotten Horse Illustrated before and Outdoor Life for my daughter and son for FREE, they LOVE getting it each month! I’m not complaining about ya’ll getting $ back, I’m just giving you some ideas.

  49. Jeanette

    Thanks! Glad I read your posts before trashing that email!

  50. Megan

    Woo Hoo! Got it, thanks! Glad I checked – I had trashed it! 🙂
