We get them from all sorts of odd places. I primarily fly with Delta, so the few times I fly with someone else I sign up for their miles program, and then turn those miles into gifts. Since 95% of the items on those lists are pure junk, we end up with mags. United comes to mind.
I see them pop up now and then, like on our last cruise, we attended some raffle that had where you could sign up for a few.
Some of the "survey" sites offer them as well for participating. Uhm, those stupid little inserts in your credit card bills, we got Sports Illustrated for a year from them. I did a balance transfer once, wanted to close some cards but didn't have the cash to pay it off right then. Did it online and afterwards they offered some.
Great thing about SI, is you sign up for say a free year. Your year ends, then you get about 3-6 months worth of "this is your LAST issue, renew now!".
We get a bunch now, Gamepro, GMR (oh, electronics boutique has a program, 10$ you sign up and get 10% off all used games for a year, and a free year of the mag), PSM, psychology today (SUCKS, even to people in the field), SI, Golf Digest, Island traveler or something like that, Outdoors mag (think this just ended), some cat magazine.
Venderic, Candide or Mercutio in games.
