Key To Symbols

Here's a list of symbols used on this page to describe the available offers for Mustang magazine and other titles:

Risk-free subscriptions: If you are not 100% satisfied with your subscription in the risk-free trial period for Mustang magazine you will receive a full and unconditional refund -- you keep your free trial issues. 100% of the magazines listed here come with a risk-free money-back guarantee of at least 90 days from the date of your order (a payment is still required: magazines normally won't just give away free issues online anymore.) Clicking the symbol in the search results will pop open a new page explaining the magazine shop's exact risk-free policy.
Accepts checks: The magazine shop will accept your mailed check, at which time your subscription will begin. Most shops accept only credit cards, although NetMagazines.com accepts .
Educational discounts: University Subscription Services gives discounts to college students, and to educators in both colleges and high schools. If you ever become unhappy with a magazine, you can cancel it and they will send you a full refund for the remaining umailed issues in your subscription.
Electronic renewals: Some of the listed magazine shops make subscription renewals very convenient. You won't get a stream of bills to your mailbox asking you to renew-- sometimes 6-8 months before it's due to expire! Instead, when the subscription is about to expire, you will receive an email reminder that the magazine is due to be renewed. You can reply to the email saying you don't want a renewal, or do nothing and your subscription will be renewed automatically (charging the current everyday rate.) They usually do this a month or two in advance, and you can always cancel and get a refund for all unmailed issues.
Money-saving specials: Money-saving coupons and other offers are available.
Free "mystery gift": This symbol means you'll receive a free gift with each order, usually a useful piece of software.
Random drawing: With each magazine you order, you'll be entered into a weekly drawing for a valuable bonus prize worth about $50 to $100. Odds of winning are 1 in 250, through 2005 and probably beyond.
