Any recommendations on good magazines? I've got some United Miles to blow and I got a thing in the mail allowing for the purchase of magazines with miles. Most are 500-800 miles.

They have:

Bloomberg
Fast Company
Forbes
Fortune
Economist
Money

Economist and forbes would be my suggestions but you won't read them, seriously unless you have a bunch of down time magazines aren't worth it.

Not that I agree with 100% of what they have to say, and they devote way too much space to goings-on in places like Zambia and Burma, but it is by far the best-written magazine out there.

None of them would be a bad choice.

Bloomberg, Forbes, and Fortune all are general business mags.

Fast Company focuses more on small and growing businesses. Lots of good stories about raising capital, etc.

Economist... it's good, long-format stories, lots of global focus.

Money is for people who like to think they know something about business, but don't know squat.

Economist. You get the app with it. In my opinion reading every issue front to back gives the reader a real understanding of everything economic from all corners of the globe. I got my first subscription with miles as well and have maintained it ever since. Great read. It also leans libertarian which I like
