Why pay for magazines when you can get so many great subscriptions for FREE if you just keep your eyes open? Seriously, the only magazine that I've actually paid for in the last 5 years or more is ALL YOU, and of course the fantastic coupons in it more than offset the subscription price, so that doesn't really count.
- Request a FREE 5-issue subscription to O, The Oprah Magazine through Startsampling.com. You'll receive August through December issues with no further obligation whatsoever!
- Plus you can also sign up for a 2-year subscription to Shape magazine through Rewards Gold by filling out a short survey.
But hurry – free magazine subscriptions, especially good ones like these two, tend to go very quickly.

Hi! I went to this website and became a member to receive O magazine but I never saw where you would choose this magazine. I only got a message saying that I should receive samples soon. Does the magazine get sent to you automatically?
Letty, if you weren't already a member, then I'd recommend registering first. Then come back and click on the link in my post to request the magazine. It will only let you request it once, so you'll know it went through if you see a message that says, "You have previously ordered this item."
I joined the website , closed it and re opened the link but I still can't see anywhere to click to request the O mag sample.
Signed up and still no where to click or fill out a form. I did find a Alexia coupon booklet in the samples section. I am glad to get that.

I also signed up on startsampling.com so I could get the free issues of Oprah magazine, but didn't see any link to subscribe once I got to the webpage :(
I just completed the offer for Shape magazine - 2 years free!!
Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for the Shape Subscription! To think I used to pay for subscriptions!
Yeah...bummer! The O subscriptions must be out. No link anywhere...
still cant get the O to work....:(
I clicked on Tara's link and it took me right to the Oprah page, I had to log-in and there is a picture of Oprah on the left side of the page about 1/3 of the way down. Click that and you get confirmation. Hope this helps.
Never worked for me. I couldn't click on anything...

The Oprah Magazine didn't work for me either, but I'm glad I got the Shape Magazine subscription Monday!
The Shape one is not available anymore.

It didn't work for me either and I am too late to get shape magazine.
That was a tricky way for start sampling to get a bunch of people to sign up. ARG!
Ijust used Tara's link, logged in to the start sampling page and then there is a box with a whole bunch of little pictures, Oprah is one of those. I clicked on her face and submitted to the free magazines so mine worked as well.
I went to my acounts on the site and it will list the samples that you sign up for. I thought I had signed up for O and it is not listed. =( I can not find it through the link. Maybe I missed out. =(
I wrote and asked about the O deal and here's what they said:
Dear Jo,
Thank you for your response.
When you are on the "Samples" page, you will see samples with a green
”Click Here” button, which means available. A yellow button means hurry the
samples are almost gone, and a red button means come back, more may be
available later.
You may also see a question with green, yellow or red button under it.
These are Quick Questions, which are opportunities for members to select a
sample or receive FTMs. Based on the answers given; you will either be
eligible for the sample or receive 10 FTMs.
To order a sample, click on any sample with a green button listed under the
"Samples & Offers" section. This will bring you to a screen that will allow
you to visit the manufacturer to learn more about the product, or to order
the sample. To order the sample, you will be asked to enter your member id.
At this time you will either see a confirmation that the sample was ordered
or a message explaining why the order did not go through. You will also be
asked to verify your mailing address as samples are mailed to the address
on your account at the time of ordering.
According to your account you have just signed up today and sometimes new
samples will take 24 hours before they will appear on your account to
order. Please check back later to see if this sample is being offer to
you.
Welcome to StartSampling.com.
Sincerely,
Member Services

How weird! On the samples page, I simply see several large rectangular advertisements. Absolutely no green, yellow, or red text. Nothing on the home page, either. Maybe it's because I just joined.
I love reading the O magazine and getting 5 for free is a pretty great deal. you can't beat that:) Thanks for sharing, Tara!

From what I read below in the FAQ page, it appears that if you have sampled the O Magazine from them before you can't get it again. I think that is why I can't order mine. I ordered it last time.
To have more samples available to all of our members, you may only sample a product once. Actual quantity and variety are determined by the number of samples supplied by our customers and their targeting needs. You can only receive one of each sample across our site and our network sites. If you are unable to order a sample listed in the Current Samples and Savings section because there is no order button, you have previously ordered this sample. You are only able to select a sample one time.
I ordered mine it was very easy. I was already a member so i signed in then i went to the home page and there's a box on the left hand side that says the oprah magazine and a picture of a magazine cover i clicked on that and underneath where it says "O, the Oprah magazine in big letters it had a little box that you could click that said order now. You click on that and it takes you to a page where it says thank you.... hope that helps!! i was too late to get the shape magazine, o well maybe next time.
I also, like everyone else, registered with Startsampling.com and saw no place to request the 5 issues of Oprah. What happened?
Okay, I registered and clicked on the ORIGINAL link and no go. Oprah was nowhere in sight. lol Guess the offer has expired. Waaaaah
I did the same thing. Registered, went back to the page. Nothing to click on to request it.
I can't get the free O magazine either, I click on the link adn don't see it on the site. I registered on samples website , help...........
It just worked for me in IE but not in Firefox, so maybe it's a browser issue?
Rachel´s last blog post..Little Jewel updates, 7/10/09
I signed up and there was no O magazine offer at first. So I waited and refreshed the offer page a few times over 2 days for new offers to appear. And the O Magazine offer just showed up, so I got it. :)
Ok, quick update on the O magazine. I have checked the site since Wednesday and every time I wasn't able to find it but I went back today and when I clicked the link it had a box with my member ID in it and all I had to do was click submit and it said my sample was on its way. So if you haven't checked back in recently and you signed up on Wednesday try again today. I hope it works for everyone else.
thanks! just worked for me.
FYI--The free 5 issues of Opra offer is available again. All you do is enter your memer id on the page from Tara's link, then hit the green submit button. After that a message appears @ the top of the screen advising that your sample will be arriving soon. Good luck every one.
How can I Receive the 5 Free Issues of the Oprah Magazine. I Can't Find the Link On Their Site
