After settling down in India during September, 2008, I subscribed fo many Indian Magazines.
Most of the magazines had attractive gifts if you subscribe for 3 years.
India Today(English) advertised 26% saving on cover price+'Timex Watch' and'Mystery gift worth Rs.300/- for three years subscription. I paid Rs.2900/- against regular price of Rs.4800/-, online using my Credit Card during the first week of December, 2008.
They promptly acknowledged my payment and started sending their Magazines from 1st week of January, 2009.
As I didn't get thegifts till middle of March, I sent an e-mail to them. I got a reply from the as below:
