The Age susbscription offer for mfc members

Featured Replies

Posted

I just got an email offering a friday to monday (inclusive) subscription to the age for 52 weeks for $25, only available to melbourne members. $15 from each subscription goes to the club!

So i just paid $10 plus a $15 donation to the club for a years worth of the age (delivered).

A pretty sweet deal me thinks! (even if the age is not what it used to be!)

Great initiative from the club to offer a really good incentive for new members and rewards for existing ones like myself.

 

It is a fantastic initiative.

If you have any issues with it, not that you should, contact your local newsagent as that's who it goes through now

It is a great deal, but if you have the trouble I had at the start, you have to wonder if it is worth it. It took me nearly a month to get a paper delivered - several phone calls to the Age call centre, including one where I was on hold for over twenty minutes because they were in the midst of 'upgrading their system'. Finally someone 'fixed' the problem - after I had decided that the $25 was gone and I didn't need the drama of trying to get a paper!

Hopefully they have all the bugs ironed out now and no-one else has to go through the drama just to get a newspaper. It would have been easier if I had just sent the $15 to the club and thrown the $10 in the bin!

 

But you started getting your papers delivered?

Oh yeah, finally. Of course since then there have been two papers not delivered, and one I found on the nature strip, (which might explain what happened to my missing papers - some early morning walker/jogger got a freebie perhaps) and I really can't be bothered chasing up the missing papers (considering I only paid $25 for the year, each phone call costs more than the paper I would be chasing), but it's annoying anyway.

Anyway, hopefully the difficulties I had were just a one off and everyone else gets theirs ok.


Would be great if there was a similar offer for interstate members, obviously with a higher price, but I'd love to get The Age delivered here in Adelaide through MFC, would pay $50 or $75 or $100 for a year's worth of The Age with some going to the club no worries.

You can. Just give the club $100 donation, and then organize through your agent to get Melbourne papers delivered. :lol:

If some of your papers aren't being delivered call the Age call centre, they add the missing papers onto the end of your subscription - if you're missing two papers, you will get 2 additional papers at week 53 rather than it ending at week 52.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
