This company is very deceiving in how they handle their magazine subscriptions. They continue to charge your credit card annually without your consent so unless you happen to catch it on your statement you do not realize it, but then it is too late because you cannot get a refund. Then they make it near impossible to cancel it because you cannot speak to a live representative and you cannot get a refund for a year of magazines that they have already charged you for on your credit card. The only number they provide is a number on your credit card statement and that is an automated system. Extremely frustrating.

Re: Complaint Case #: [redacted]
Consumer: [redacted]
Dear
Ms. [redacted]:
I
write in response to the inquiry registered with your office by consumer [redacted] We genuinely regret the inconvenience that Ms. [redacted] experienced
regarding her magazine subscriptions, and have attempted to resolve her concerns.
Our records show that we received an order in the name of [redacted], for [redacted], when she
accepted our promotional offer, which was presented by Bizrate after she had
completed a survey following an online purchase. This offer allowed her to receive the first 13 issues of
her magazine selections for a nominal fee of $2.00. The offer also provided that her subscription would automatically
continue following the initial term and that the same credit card would be
charged if she did not call us to cancel.
In addition, it is our policy that customers who wish to cancel may do
so at any time by calling our toll-free customer service number, which is
provided on our renewal notice and also on the customer’s billing statement
with each charge.
Prior to the billing event, Ms. Schaffer would receive a notice
reminding her of the upcoming renewal, the renewal charge and the date by which
to cancel to avoid being charged. We have checked our records and found that Ms. [redacted] renewal postcard was mailed to her on March 29, 2015. We
apologize if she did not receive this postcard, as these are mailed to our
customer’s as a reminder of future billing events.
When we did not hear from Ms. [redacted] that she
wished to cancel her subscription at the end of her first term, the annual
subscription charge was posted to her account.
On June 16, 2015, Ms. [redacted] contacted our
automated customer service line and accepted a “more time” offer that was
extended for her subscription to [redacted]. This
would allow her to continue to receive her subscription for an additional two
months. If, at the end of that period,
she decided to cancel the subscription, she would still be entitled to receive
a full refund of the renewal charge.
Ms. [redacted] contacted our automated customer
service line again on July 19, 2015 and placed her subscription to [redacted] on “do not renew” status. This
would allow her to continue receiving the issues in the current term, however
at the end of the term, her subscriptions would not renew nor would she be
charged for a renewal.
Upon receipt of your correspondence on July 28,
2015, we cancelled Ms. [redacted] subscription to [redacted], generating
a full refund in the amount of $121.00 back to her account. It should be noted
that banks direct us to ask customers to allow one to two billing statements
for written confirmation of the refund to appear, depending on their billing
cycle.
Ms. [redacted] can be assured that her subscription has been cancelled. Also, Ms. [redacted] may continue to receive
one or two more issues of her magazine since it was in process at the time of
cancellation. She may keep these with our compliments.
Please be assured that customer satisfaction is very
important to us and we take great care in providing our customers with the
highest level of service. If I can be of

Our records show that [redacted] placed an order for [redacted] through our program when he accepted our promotional offer, which was presented by [redacted]. The offer allowed him to receive one term of his magazine selections for a points paid subscription.
We took the liberty of contacting the publisher for [redacted] and they have confirmed that [redacted] next issue is the February 9, 2015 issue, which he should have received by February 7, 2015. Also they have extended his subscription by two issues and his new expiration date is August 3, 2015. In addition, the publisher has confirmed they have forwarded a priority message to the field office to review why[redacted] has missed the recent issues.
If [redacted] has not received this issue, I would request that he please contact our customer service center directly at [redacted]. One of our representatives will be happy to assist him.
Please be assured that customer satisfaction is very important to us and we take great care in providing our customers with the highest level of service. If I can be of any further assistance in this matter, please contact me at [redacted]

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:
I want it in writing from [redacted] that my debit card will not be charged ever again. He can send it to my home address.
[redacted]
[redacted]
[redacted]
I would also like the following message forwarded to him :
Your customer service number makes it impossible to reach an actual customer service rep. I did not have any problems navigating your telephone system. There is no option to simply cancel your order and get your money back.
Your company is crooked and unethical. If I ever find that my credit card is charged by your company again, I will go directly to the police.
Your apology is insulting. You should be ashamed of the way that you conduct business. If I received any mailings from your company, they were nondescript and could easily have been confused for junk mail. Perhaps that's why you never received a cancellation from me.
I see right through your scheme .
As I said in my reply to the Revdex.com, I'm rejecting your response. I need it in writing that my credit card will not be charged again. You may mail it to my home address.
Upon receiving your signed assurance that my card will never again be charged, I'll consider this matter closed.
Sincerely,

I was charged 24.00 on my account with out permission for magazines that were on a free trial and risk free until December 2014. I was not aware this charge would be made in October 2014, two months prior to the end of the free trial date. It was unauthorized and as a result I had to close my current debit card, request a new one and deal with the hassle of that change. In addition, I will have to file a claim in the bank in order to try and recoup the money taken out of my account. Not okay.
Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:The response does not address the free offer that was rejected. I do not want to place an order that will cost me money... I gave my personal information expecting in return what the ad said which was something free. Instead, I was directed to a page where I could place an order for a FEE. If this is to be resolved, I need to be provided what was promised.

I noticed this morning that my charge account has been fully credited by...
TWX/Synapse as I requested - hooray!
Although I frequently check Revdex.com when I am considering doing business with a company, I have never before written to you with a problem. I doubt I would have gotten such a speedy and satisfactory response from this company without your involvement. Thank you very, very much!

It seems sneaky that [redacted] shares your bank account information with the magazines. If [redacted]n is also in the business of selling magazines as well, please make that clear to your customers [large text, red text, etc.]. In order to maintain a good customer following, transparency is critical. Now I feel like when I book my camping that my bank account is going to be shared for other services - NOT GOOD.
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.
