The magazine offered a free gift with every issue, alternating between a pack of ten Trading Cards and a Collectible Amulet.

The magazine had two websites:

  • www.jackie-chan-magazine.co.uk (archive)

Signing up on either allowed users to enter "The Zone", a members-only section for readers of the magazine to interact with each other over message board and chat sections. Additionally, members of The Zone were given exclusive access to the website's Trading Card gallery. Both websites were shut down in 2008, two years after the magazine's conclusion.
