Why would the Q not allow customers to subscribe to their issue of Insider Q magazine ? They have no problem allowing us to purchase all the other merchandise the sell/offer.

Why alienate new customers who are willing to pay to subscribe to read the articles, etc.?

This is unfair to all new customers.

Believe me, you're not missing out on anything. the articles certainly aren't worth paying for a subscription. if you sign up for email notices you will get advance notice of most of the TSVs.

Their management of access to this item is rather silly and not particularly fair to customers, but as noted above, it's not a real loss. It does give one certain early access to some TSV's and some special pricing but overall, it's not anything special. That said, I believe most retailers would offer any reasonably good customer the ability to see what amounts to little more than what most entities would label a sale flyer.

I am still receiving the magazine but have been disappointed they no longer have clearance prices....or very low cost items...I bought many of my 100% all cotton quilts that way...it was a lot more fun to read....but then the Q use to be more fun way back when there was so many new items...and we didn't get hours and hours of the same product....

so to channel the others...your not missing much...

this current issue is filled with beauty products....I don't use any beauty items nor do I watch any of the beauty shows....so it was boring and I could live without it...

Quite simply because it does not alienate new customers. Have you ever read where someone has posted that I am not going to purchase products from QVC because I am unable to view the Insider magazine?

I agree. It doesn't make sense to not offer the magazine to those who want to get it. I know originally QVC cut off new subscriptions because they were going to phase out the magazine. But that hasn't happened. I am fortunate that I was grandfathered in so I still receive it at no cost now.

Why are you complaining...the magazine is FREE.
