So, if I decide to get a subscription to the Companion, when the Player's Guide for AP's come up, will I get a second one? Seeing as I have the AP sub, can I just not get the one from the Companion sub if I am going to get a second one?
I'm pretty sure that the Second Darkness PG was free for subscribers as a promotion for the new Companion line, so people could know what type of product they'd be subscribing to. Future PGs will not be free to AP subscribers.

Correct. For the foreseeable future, at least at the time I left, the days of free player's guides is in the past.

While I like the companion, I do think something free would be good. A short PDF player's guide maybe. No rules stuff, no traits, just a short description about how the campaign starts, with some background info on the starting region, information on races and classes, and some story hooks.
The stuff could all come from the Companion, and it could be used as a free ad for the companion, with something like "Learn all this and much more in the Pathfinder Companion" thingy.
That way you can hook players with some free swag - and when you tell them that they get extra bonuses in the other product, enough will fall on them like wolves on a candy store (provided we're talking about starved wolves with sweet teeth).

If I started my Pathfinder AP sub, say tomorrow (with my first issue being issue #13, which is the first adventure for Second Darkness), would I still get the companion free? Or was that only for "current" subscribers?
*EDIT*
And if is still free for new subscribers, do I need to order it, or will it just automatically be shipped to me?
Just curious...

So long as you choose to get 13 as part of your subscription, you'll get the free Pathfinder Companion along with it—you don't need to add it to your cart.
