Free Magazine Subscriptions: Instructions for Canadian Addresses
I posted this in a thread in the AG section, but I'm not sure how many of you look in the threads about free magazine subscriptions as many of us assumed US residency was a prerequisite.
I can't fully verify that this method works yet, but I did try ordering a subscription to Car and Driver using an address for a Denver hotel and completed the address change to my home address yesterday. This seems to indicate that car and driver has received the subscription and created an account, so hopefully I'll receive my first issue soon.

As Ive seen from many posts here, most are aware of the free subscriptions to many popular magazines you can get if you live in the States. **Please note I'm telling you the method of how to take advantage of these offers you may find if you live in Canada.
All I do is sign up with an American address. I use a hotel I stayed at in Dallas a few years ago. I use my real name with their address. Better to use an address of a real company or location, as if the address doesn't exist the order may not go through.
Depending on the magazine, you sign in to the site 6-8 weeks later and change your sign-up address to your Canadian one. I have received, for free, Maxim, FHM, Stuff, Mens Health, Sporting News and some outdoor magazine (I think its called outdoor life) for a couple of years now delivered right to my door in Ontario.
You have to keep your eyes open for the free offers, but dont be discouraged if they say USA only. Here is a site with most magazine's "change of address page": http://www.sjev.net/magazineaddress.html **Note - this is not a page with free subscription offers, but is a site you can use to change your address when you sign up elsewhere for a free subscription. In my experience it takes 6-10 weeks before you can sign in and change your address.
Make sure you record the exact name and address you sign up with, as you will need this info to change the address. This hasn't worked for me with all magazines, but I can vouch that it works for the 6 I mentioned above.
Hope this helps some out, and if anyone finds a new FHM subscription, let me know as mine expires in a few months.

One more tip - I use an email address I created just for this purpose. It gets a lot of spam, so dont sign up for these offers with your regular address.
