I think what people were saying was the newsletter was a bit misleading, and to be honest, the "*" part of it, is written in sideways tiny writing in white no less down the side of the image.

As for the subscription thing, to a degree artpearl is correct, if you go to their site and click the upgrade option that comes with the subscription, it just says £48.92 and you can add that to your cart, which to be honest in the UK any other fees should be clear on the order page otherwise that page could be seen as misleading. It should say £48.92 + 12 x £xx.xx .

I personally dont bother with the upgrade program so its no consequence for me but I can see what others are saying. You may well be able to get the information you require by going through other links and thats fair enough, but as an order process and doing business in the UK, whether you are based outside the UK or not, any product for sale should include any further payments that are neccesary at the time of purchase.
