How do I subscribe and what will I get?
Imbibe is published bi-monthly. A one-year subscription includes six issues and a two-year subscription includes 12 issues. There are subscription cards included in every issue, but for the fastest service, you can subscribe online. If you plan to purchase more than one subscription, visit our gift page and save 10% more on additional subscriptions.

I just subscribed. When will my first issue arrive?
Your first issue will be delivered anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months from the date you subscribe. We include information about when to expect your first issue on our order confirmation page and in every confirmation e-mail we send. If you want to know more, please note that we mail every issue twice:

1. First mailing: delivered around the time the new issue becomes available on newsstands for existing and new subscribers who sign up more than one month before the issue publication date (i.e. May 1 for the May/Jun issue).
2. Second mailing: delivered about two weeks after the new issue is on newsstands for subscribers who order just before the new issue comes out. This way, no one waits more than two months for the first issue.

I see the new issue on newsstands, but I don't have my copy yet. Where is it?
We know how excited our readers get to receive every issue! We do our best to ensure that subscribers receive our new issue before it's available for sale on newsstands. If it's been more than two weeks since the magazine appears on newsstands and you're concerned, just contact us and we'll research what happened.

How do I change my subscription address?
In the United States, your best bet is to officially file a change of address form with the U.S. Postal Service, who then passes on the information to us. If you've already moved or missed an issue due to a move, please contact us with your full name, old address and new address.

How can I keep up with Imbibe between issues?
As a bonus, you can get free between-issues updates on our blog, Imbibe Unfiltered, plus recipes, news and special offers via our monthly e-newsletter, Tasting Notes.

How do I give Imbibe as a gift? Who will receive the renewal notices?
A subscription to Imbibe makes an ideal gift for family, friends, clients and colleagues. You can order one-year gifts here, and the more you give, the more you save! For multi-year gifts or gifts to be delivered outside the U.S., click here. On all gifts, we ask that you specify who should receive the renewal notices; if this information is not provided, we will send renewal notices to the gift recipient. If you wish to make changes on a past gift order, please contact us.

I think it's time to renew. When does my subscription expire?
You can renew at any time to extend your subscription. To find out when your subscription expires, look to the mailing label on your latest issue. You will find an issue date printed above your name. That is the last issue of your subscription. Don't worry, though, we'll be sure to remind you in advance so you don't miss an issue.

Can I renew online?
Absolutely. We encourage you to renew online here. If you have it, you can simply enter the subscription number on your renewal invoice or mailing label. Or, you can provide the full name, city and postal code that appear on your mailing label.

I received an invoice in the mail. Can I pay online?
Absolutely. You can complete your order with our easy online invoice payment form. Just have your invoice handy and use your subscription number to log in and pay your invoice.

Can I buy back issues?
Our full library of back issues is available to browse and order from here. Back issues are just $5 a piece, plus shipping and handling.

I have a question/comment/idea for your editors.
We love to hear from our readers. Please contact our editorial team with your comment using our contact form to route your request to the correct individual.

Why do you ask for my phone number and e-mail address when I place an order?
In case there is a problem with your order or a magazine is returned to us, we need a way to contact you. We will never share this information with third parties, your friends, your enemies or any other nosy people. You can view our full privacy policy here.
