"Are Great Magazines voucher codes valid on renewals?"

"No — Great Magazines voucher codes apply to new subscriptions only and cannot be used on renewals. Once your initial subscription term ends, the renewal processes at the standard price without the discount carrying over. To keep saving, you could let the current subscription expire and start a fresh one with a new code. Just bear in mind that specific codes rotate regularly, so the same offer may not be available when you come back."

"What does my gift recipient receive?"

"Great Magazines sends an e-card to the recipient's email address when you make the purchase — you can choose the delivery date for the e-card. The magazines then arrive at the address you specify during checkout. If the title comes with a welcome gift, such as a tote bag or bonus issue, this is sent to the purchaser rather than the recipient, so you'll need to pass it on yourself."

"Do I need Wi-Fi to read my digital magazine?"

"You need an internet connection to download the issue initially. Once it's downloaded to your device, you can read the full magazine offline without Wi-Fi — which makes digital subscriptions practical for commuting or travelling. Each issue takes up storage space, so you may want to delete previous editions periodically. If you prefer streaming over downloading, you'll need an active connection every time you open the magazine."

"Is there a student discount at Great Magazines?"

"Yes — students can get 15% off orders over £30 using the code VOUCSTUD at checkout. This applies to new subscriptions only and can't be combined with other promotional codes. The one-subscription-per-basket restriction still applies, so if you're planning to subscribe to multiple titles, you'll need to place separate orders. Student eligibility is verified during the checkout process."

"Can I use multiple discount codes on one order?"

"No — only one code can be applied per transaction. The checkout also restricts you to a single subscription in your basket when using a code, as adding a second title hides the promo code field entirely. To subscribe to several magazines with a discount, place separate orders and apply the code to each one individually. It takes a few extra minutes but the savings add up across multiple purchases."

"Does Great Magazines charge for delivery?"

"Standard delivery on print subscriptions is included at no extra cost — the subscription price you see at checkout covers everything. Magazines arrive at regular intervals throughout your subscription term. Digital subscriptions don't involve physical delivery at all; the magazine is downloaded directly to your device through the Great Magazines reading platform."

"What subscription lengths are available?"

"Great Magazines typically offers terms of 3, 6, or 12 months, though the exact options vary by title. Shorter terms are useful for trialling a magazine without a long commitment, while annual subscriptions usually work out cheaper per issue. Some titles also offer a combined print and digital package at a slightly higher price. It's worth comparing the options on each title's page before committing."

"Why isn't my Great Magazines discount code working?"

"Several factors could be preventing the code from applying:\n\n1. Your basket contains more than one subscription — the promo code field only appears with a single item\n2. The basket total falls below the £30 minimum spend required for codes like SAVE10 or VOUCSTUD\n3. You're applying the code to a renewal rather than a new subscription\n4. The code has expired or been replaced by a newer promotion\n5. You're using a student code without meeting the eligibility requirements\n"

About the Brand

Great Magazines is one of the UK’s biggest online magazine subscription platforms, operated by Bauer Media Group. The site brings together hundreds of titles from publishers across the country, covering interests from fashion and true crime to gardening and golf. Print subscriptions arrive at your door, digital ones land on your device, and combined packages cover both formats.

We’ve found that subscription prices undercut newsagent rates considerably — savings of up to 70% off the recommended retail price are common across the catalogue. Digital subscriptions start from as little as £3 per month, while print terms typically run for 3, 6, or 12 months. Popular titles include Grazia, Heat, Closer, Crime Monthly, and Today’s Golfer, though the full range stretches well beyond the mainstream.

We like that print subscriptions include free delivery in the price. Several titles offer welcome gifts — tote bags, bonus issues, or similar extras — though these are sent to the purchaser rather than the subscription recipient, which is worth knowing if you’re buying for someone else. Gift subscriptions are available too, with an e-card sent to the recipient’s email on a date you choose. Back issues can also be purchased individually for collectors.

Pair these subscription savings with the codes and deals listed below, and the total value stacks up quickly.

How to use

To redeem a code, click the offer card on this page and the code copies to your clipboard. Head to www.greatmagazines.co.uk to browse their range of print, digital, and combined subscriptions. Add your chosen title to the basket — but note that only one subscription can be present for the promo code field to appear. At the basket summary page, scroll to the ‘Voucher Code / Promo Code’ box, expand it, and paste your code. Confirm the discount has applied before completing payment.

Many of Great Magazines’ strongest offers are automatic deals that need no code at all. These include free delivery on all subscriptions, digital magazines from £3 a month, and savings of up to 70% off the recommended retail price. Click the relevant offer card to go straight to the promotion — the reduced price appears at checkout without any extra step required from you.

Students can claim 15% off orders over £30 using the code VOUCSTUD at checkout. This applies to new subscriptions only and can’t be combined with other promotional codes. The same one-subscription-per-basket restriction applies, so if you’re subscribing to multiple titles, place separate orders and apply the code to each individually.

If a code doesn’t work as expected, click the report button on the relevant offer card and we’ll investigate. Our team checks codes regularly, though retailers can adjust terms or withdraw promotions without much notice. We’ll do our best to resolve any issues quickly.

Shopping Guide

When does Great Magazines run its biggest discounts? The deepest price cuts tend to coincide with Black Friday, Boxing Day, and the January sales period. Outside those windows, we’ve noticed individual title promotions appear throughout the year — particularly on niche magazines trying to build readership. Holding out until late November is worth the wait if you’re not in a rush, as that’s historically when the steepest percentage-off deals land on the site.

Is print or digital the better subscription choice?

	Print	Digital	Combined
Starting price	Varies by title	From £3/month	Highest tier
Delivery	Free, physical post	Instant download	Both included
Offline access	Always available	After initial download	Both
Storage	Physical shelf space	Device storage	Both

Starting with a shorter digital term is usually the safer bet — you can check whether you’ll actually read it consistently before committing to a full year of print. If you prefer the feel of a physical magazine, print subscriptions include free delivery, so there’s no hidden postage cost to worry about.

Can I apply a discount code to more than one subscription? The checkout only displays the promo code field when a single subscription sits in your basket — adding a second title hides it entirely. The workaround is straightforward: place separate orders for each subscription and apply the code individually. It takes a few extra minutes, but it’s the only way to secure the discount across multiple titles in the same shopping session.

What should I know before buying a gift subscription? Gift subscriptions let you choose the term and the recipient receives an e-card by email. One detail worth knowing: welcome gifts, where a title offers them, go to the purchaser rather than the recipient. So if a subscription comes with a free tote bag or bonus item, it arrives at your address, and you’ll need to hand it over yourself.
