can FSM give a code to access the FSM+ content?
Posted by TarnShip on Monday, February 27, 2012 11:35 AM

I wanted to look at a review that was "FSM+" content, so, I subscribed on Saturday,,,,,well, Anne gave me a gift subscription online on Saturday, actually

Do I now have to wait for the physical mailing of the magazine to reach the mailbox to access the FSM+ content,,,,or can FSM look at subscribers and see that the emails match up to the forum use email

I am asking because, if I have to wait to read the review, I will just spend the money on a different paint company that I already know about,,,,,instead of waiting "however long it takes" to get to read the review

I am sure this is not the first time it has come up,,,,,,,,,and mostly I am asking so you'd consider emailing a new subscriber the access code,,,,,,,instead of "internet content being available at the speed of the USPS", in this digital age, it might help sales for you, somewhat (I am not truly a new subscriber, but, my subscription keeps going in starts and stops, not on purpose)

Hi Rex,

If you have any questions about your subscription or web access using your subscriber number, your best bet is to contact customerservice@kalmbach.com. While there is a link to the forum on the website, it is completely separate from magazine subscriptions and the access codes that are given to subscribers.

Best,

TK

CS emailed me to say my forum access was working just fine, lol

Thanks guys, I think I will have what I "need"

I suggested this to Aaron, so, Tim,,,I will suggest it to you, also,,,,,maybe send it on to the subscription advert people,,,,,,,mention and play up the fact that the content is available after just a few days to subscribers that order online,,,,,might get a few more people to order,,,,,,I can't be the only one to think that access is still only possible with that code on the mailing label (as it was when I started my FSM Forum account)

just an idea

okay, just wanted to put this here to make sure it's read as a positive thread by anyone thinking about upgrading to have access to the FSM+ content

we subscribed on Saturday night, so Sat and Sun don't count, since they are not business days,,,,,,on Monday, when I asked about this, Aaron emailed me the specific review I was after

sometime on Tuesday, my sub must have went through processing, because I have access to the FSM+ content

that qualifies as "pretty fast" in my opinion

thanks

Here's a question...

Is it possible to subscribe but without the magazine, just to get the FSM+ content, without paying the full subscription price? I have a lot of trouble receiving the magazine so I'd prefer just buying it at the newsstand.

 

Thanks
