Los suscriptores obtendrán descuentos al realizar pedidos por varios años o al adquirir la opción de suscripción “Completa”, que incluye la revista impresa y acceso total al sitio web y a la aplicación móvil. Los precios de las suscripciones digitales mantendrán las tarifas actuales. Los suscriptores activos mantendrán la tarifa actual hasta el final del período.
