Act Quickly: Subscribe to Blender and Get Free Automotive Magazine!

Right, all you keen beans have got to act quickly on this one if you want to get a deal and half, as the promotion is expiring 31st March 2009 at 12am CST (6am on April 1st for us Brits).

A few days ago I got an email on behalf of Zinio, an established Digital Magazines publisher, telling me about their new promotion. For a limited time, anyone who picks up a subscription to Blender will also receive a free subscription to one of 16 different automotive magazines, including Car and Driver, Hot Rod, Import Tuner and Lowrider.

If you want to checkout all of the possible magazines you could get free with your Blender subscription, click the link here.

For those not in the know, Blender is "the ultimate guide to all things awesome about music." March 2009's cover article was on Rapper T.I. and the time he's about to spend in jail and the previous issue covered Fall Out Boy, Gossip Girl (the TV show), Kid Rock and loads of stuff more. So the magazine is really great for music lovers everywhere.

So what's the catch? Well firstly you will have to pay for a subscription of Blender. However this will set you back only $7.97 (which is a 87% discount on their RRP of $59.88). You'll get 12 issues for only $8 however in return you will also get a free automotive subscription for a year (which on the Zinio website is valued at $8 for 12 issues as well). My advice would be also to make sure that you fully cancel your subscription at the end of the year as you don't want to be surprised when your 13th issue of the magazine arrives to your Inbox and your credit card gets charged.

Also, as Zinio is a digital content publisher, this means that you will receive your magazine in digital format (hence the rock-bottom prices). New issues will arrive straight into your email Inbox and you click a link to take you to Zinio's special magazine reader, which looks like this:

As mentioned, Zinio offers delivery internationally, which means that Brits can get access to American magazines on the same day that they're released across the pond! Unfortunately Zinio doesn't operate in the print industry just yet so you're going to have to read your edition to CarandDriver (and Blender of course) on your computer screen - but for only $8 for 2 issues a month, I think that's a price worth paying!
