"Now this year, both TL and GSC tell me that you do not get 4 free issues of the magazine if you are a subscriber. Both say you only get them if you are NOT a subscriber. (What?????????)"
Unfortunately, this is the "bate and hook" to get you to subscribe. It's the same thing that DISH TV, DIRECT TV, and a bunch of other "services" type companies advertise also. Those offers are for the "NEW" subscriber only. If you are a current subscriber ... these offers don't apply to you. Believe me ... I've battled DIRECT TV and DISH TV for a few years on this, and it's always the same come-back .... "It for NEW subscribers only."
So this is not anything unique or different. Count yourself fortunate that TL gave you the extra 4 issues when they did. Your's was the exception. Whoever made that deal with you probably went ahead and adjusted the system to send you 4 more issues, just to get you off the phone.
