They're doing it again this year. I just noticed in my confirmation email I got last night there is a litttttle teeny button saying "Special Magazine Benefit" in the upper right corner. Basically, Real allocates $10 of your SuperPass purchase price to a magazine subscription. They did it last year and you had the option to subscribe as you were going through checkout, this year it's really hidden.

If you don't want to pick a magazine, you can get a $10 refund. You have to do it within 30 days of buying your Superpass. Go to https://www.valuemags.com/SuperPass/rebate.asp to get the info-- basically, you just have to print that page and send it to the address provided with your Superpass account name and you'll get a $10 check in a few months.

I don't remember seeing this mentioned for this season, and thought it was a big enough deal it was worth its own thread.

(I don't know if this is for monthly subscribers, but I got the "Season Pass" and had the magazine listed. Check your confirmation email if nothing else)

Wow Justin you have a good eye!! More than a couple of people were convinced that this rebate wasn't going to be offered this year!... So that makes the SuperPass only $20.00 for the early bird who doesn't want a magazine.. .

that original post is very confusing.

Justin doesnt say if he did the BBearly discount of ten bucks and now has the magazine option as well.


if so, maybe some instructions of where to look could be forthcoming as BB for 19.99 is one heck of a deal!!

Is that for real? They automatically deducted 10 bucks out of the thirty for a magazine I have never heard of? Thanks for info.

Yes, I did use the BB8Early code, so it will be $19.99 after the rebate...

Check the email you received from Real. You should see a button (fairly small) in the upper right corner about the magazines (labelled "Special Magazine Benefit"). If you click through that you'll get more information about the magazines. At the very bottom of THAT page, you'll see some fine print about what to do to cancel your subscription, and the last link is for instructions if you want the rebate and do not want the subscription at all. (which is the original link I posted).

There is no way NOT to pay for the magazines (i.e., you can't just get it for $19.99 charged), you get them automatically and have to ask for a refund if you don't want the mags. They hope that you won't get a subscription (As they're not telling you very prominently that you get one), and that you won't ask for a refund.

So I paid $29.99 for the Superpass using BB8Early, and then a $10 refund, making it $19.99 for a full season of backstabbing showmance "entertainment". ;)

You just have to print out the page from the first message (https://www.valuemags.com/SuperPass/rebate.asp), write your Superpass username (probably your email address) and address on it (physical billian address), and then mail it to the address on the sheet.

If I remember correctly from last year, I got my rebate in like late August/early September.

I do not know if you bought any other plan (like the $12.99 monthly or the 6-month plan) if you're eligible for the rebate. Check the confirmation email you should have received from Real.

I tried to call and cancel but since I am in Canada they said I dont get the magazine. So I am paying for something I cant get. The rebate is for US only.

So if you are in Canada you get screwed!

I have the 14 day free trial, and I am bored already, four cameras and they have two on the the same thing. If it was a one day free trial, I wouldn't get it, but maybe it will get better, and they will show 4 different things going on.

Justin, thank you for the info! I got in on the three month early bird special on July 3rd. However...I never received any confirmation email...which I thought was strange. Obviously my subscription went through as I am watching the feeds tonight for the first time. I did print the confirmation page from their website after the transaction went through.

Here's a silly question..but severe weather wouldn't impede any email going through would it?? There were terrible storms here when I was completing my Superpass purchase. My internet connection went out momentarily but came back on. I just stayed online long enough for the transaction to go through and quickly printed out the confirmation page of my purchase, then shut down my computer immediately after that. I figured I'd see some type of confirmation email from Real the next day, but never received anything yet.

I did not see anything at all about a magazine subscription on the confirmation page I had printed out. Do you think I'd still be eligible for the ten dollar refund? I figure I will send it as it's worth a try.

I don't think my dad ever got his email, as when I told him he seemed totally confused as to what I was talking about. It's possible that it got caught in a spam filter, or just didn't get sent properly. I doubt anything on your side would stop it.

There was NOTHING on anything when I signed up about the magazines, just in the confirmation email. They really hid it deep this year. I'd just try to print it out and send it anyway-- it's a 41 cent cost if you don't get the rebate and $10 back if you do.

My email was automatically sent to my spam/junk account. However it was identical to the one that Justin posted. Just print that one out and mail it along with your SuperPass ID and in several months you will get your refund check.

I got mine last year, and will again this year. Thanks Justin!

We sent off a email to Real about how we were automatically signed up for a magazine that we can not get. That we can not unsubscribe for, and that we can not get a rebate for since we live in Canada.

The replied back said they are looking into this. I think this happened last year and we didnt know about it.
