Continuous Service Guarantee

Here’s how it works: By submitting my order, I agree to the automatically renewing continuous service subscription(s) or membership(s) in my cart that will continue until I cancel. I understand that my credit/debit card or 3rd party payment account provided will be charged by Hearst (or one of its titles) on a recurring basis at the end of each term at the rate then in effect for each subscription or membership ordered unless I cancel. I may cancel at any time before my subscription ends by contacting Customer Service, but my payment is non-refundable, and my access and delivery of remaining print issues will continue until the end of my current subscription after which the cancellation will take effect and no further charges will be made. For print only subscriptions, if I cancel I will receive a refund on any undelivered issues. Updated credit card information is periodically received to avoid an interruption in service. Customers who reside in Vermont, Florida and Canada may not always be enrolled in continuous service but can still order.

  • What is the difference between All Access and Digital Only options?

    While both plans give you unlimited access to online Pop Mech Pro stories and the members-only newsletter, only All Access gives you a print magazine subscription, access to six new exclusive digital issues, the opportunity to test new products and exclusive deals and discounts.

  • If I already subscribe to Popular Mechanics print magazine, do I still have to pay for a membership to get unlimited website access?

    Thanks for being a subscriber! Yes, the Pop Mech Pro membership is a separate offering from the print magazine and requires a separate subscription.  Click here to upgrade to an annual membership, which includes another year of the print magazine.

    The Popular Mechanics exclusive digital issues collection are issues packed with original, in-depth feature stories you can’t find anywhere else, exploring the most compelling topics that members love. There is a new issue every other month and a library of past issues. These special digital issues are completely unique to the digital version of the regular print magazine.

    To access the collection, you must first become a member by subscribing above. Members can then sign in to instantly access all the issues here.
