Tip:
If you dont have an account with Zinio and want to take advantage of the mini subscription and free $5, sign up for an account first using the invite link in Offer 2 , then use the same email you registered with, to claim the $50 worth of Digital Magazines in Offer 1 . After 24 - 72 hrs, all the mags will appear in your account.

Offer 1
Free $50 credit @ Zinio.com
The $50 credit can only be redemmed here https://promoshq.wildfireapp.com/website/6/contests/308131 and cannot be used on Zinio websites … yes weird i know
COnfirmation after order says
>Thank You!
>Your Digital Magazines are being processed and an email will be sent to you within 24-72 hours when they are available to be read.

So they wont appear in your account immediately, try and be patient and wait till your order is processed by Zinio

Offer 2
Just found out they offer a referral program too
Ill chuck in my invitation link for whoever wants to sign up using it, you basically get an extra $5 for using the link below and a mini subscription free
EDIT referral link http://zinio.extole.com/a/clk/47dRWn
Note this is separate from the $50 promo
Mods: Ive posted a referral link as this is the only way to get a mini subscription

EDIT: referrals are limited to $100 only. As soon as i reach the limit, im happy to change the referral link to someone else's. First one to pm me gets priority as long as MODS are ok with this.

EDIT: Thanks to everyone that used my referral link. Ive achieved maximal referrals possible (20 with a value of $100). Ive changed the referral link to ozbargain member Shaw

EDIT: Referral link changed back to OP's as per request

Might point out that it's not a $50 gift voucher, but you can pick $50 worth of magazines/subscriptions from a selection Zinio provides

Cool zinio is awesome on an ipad

thanks OP,used your link anyway and I got the mini-subscription. The magazine selections are not that many but still picked 6 freebies.
systmworks on 23/12/2012 - 18:29 ¶

From what I can see (I may have got it wrong) this is only for use on selected titles (maybe 60 or so) shown after you register for the voucher - and most of the selections were for 1 to 3 issues only but you can choose up to 6 mags (or up to 18 single issues of different mags).

I tried to use it on the main Zonio site for a $50 discount on a popular Australian magazine and it said code not valid.
juzz0 on 23/12/2012 - 18:41 ¶

I have a Zinio account so I registered my details with my Zinio email and name to see if existing subscribers could opt in to the promotion. Success. Got a code. Selected 9 magazines from the somewhat scant selection. Then I was confronted with another register page, this time for Zinio. Clicked login at the top of the page, as I already had an account. Logged in. Went to account settings. Did not see the selected magazines. Went back to the windows8 magazine selection page and re-input my details. Told my code was already used. Gave my details away for no return. Negged.

  I recall reading something somewhere about waiting 24-72 hours, so maybe they don't appear in your account immediately - they haven't appeared in mine yet either :p
  It did let me select 18 issues though…

    - juzz0 on 23/12/2012 - 18:55 ¶
      
      My ISP connection dropped out so maybe the page notifying me of the time of delivery was the one that didn't load. Bad coincidence.
juzz0 on 23/12/2012 - 18:42 ¶

I could also only select 9 single issues, if I selected more it would tell I had selected too many titles and deselect my last selection. Didn't matter in the end as none appeared in my account.

This is awesome, just went through the redemption and chose a few magazines. Will be good for my flights to/from Europe in the next few weeks. Tried to pick a few magazines with stuff I couldn't just find on the net weeks ago, hopefully picked well.

Bargainmaniaz on 24/12/2012 - 00:05 ¶

Hi Guys,

I am having a bit of trouble with this. After I chose 6 mini subscriptions and clicked submit, Zinio took me to the previous page again. So I repeated the whole process of choosing 6 mini subscriptions (again) and after I clicked submit it doesn't say anything about being subscribed to the magazines.

The strangest thing is that not only I do not get any confirmation email, but they also give me this message

Voucher Used
We're sorry, but the maximum magazines for this voucher have already been selected.
If you are having trouble and need assistance, please contact our customer service at support@zinio.com

Anyone facing this issue…?? Please help

  I can't work out why it would take so long to send it through? Should be instant like ordering any other digital thing. I only ordered one magazine two days ago and still haven't got a thing.
  
  Is this how it usually is? That would be a bit crappy if you wanted to pick a couple of magazines just before you got on a flight or something.

chocsyrup on 13/01/2013 - 08:34 ¶

Mine arrived a couple of days ago. I went back and forward with Zinio a bit (quite quick service when you've been assigned someone to help). It took two weeks for the magazines to show up in my account, but once they were activated, they all appeared within a couple of minutes.

The explanation: "it appears the file which included your submission ended temporarily falling down the cracks". I don't much care though - they're free and they arrived.

Try the contact form on the website (no response to any social media).
