Special Rates for BBC Magazines
Nov 18th, 2004, 6:11pm
 
Is there still a special rate for BBC Pensioners for subscriptions to BBC Magazines?  For the past two years we were offered the annual subscription to 'BBC History' magazine at half the normal price.

I thought pensioners got the staff 50% discount?

At the moment they have a christmas offer on of up to 50%!

Thanks Richard!  For the past two years I have been fortunate in getting a discount but this year there didn't seem to be one on offer.  I have asked BBC Magazines about it but they said they didn't know of any offers.    In the past it was publicised in Prospero but I haven't seen anything this year.  How do I get this year's Christmas offer?

Regards.

Sorry for the delay!

That link gives 25% discount, I'm a bit bemused by their reply to you though!

Only been retired a few months, and I seem to recall the BBC intranet link saying Staff and Pensioners both enjoy a 50% discount, when I took out a Gardeners World sub .

It's not too clear how to actually buy it, but Tesco do a 75% off BBC Mags deal with Clubcard vouchers listing BBC History at 9.75!

Regards,
Richard
