My friend bought me a subscription and at one point I opted for two "gift" subscriptions for $5/yr for a couple friends. When my subscription was up for renewal last year I stopped paying as I wasn't reading it anymore. I didn't have to call and cancel that I remember, they just stopped sending them when I didn't pay for it. Now a year later I get bills for my friends gift subscriptions, saying that my card was disabled. Come to find out they have been billing my friend $40 a year for the last two years to continue sending "gift" subscriptions to other friends. Now maybe I didn't read the fine print or something, but the term "gift" to me means a one time thing... get them into it for a year and then they decide if it is still worth it to pay on their own. In no way had I intended for my friend to continue paying for years. The way I found out about this was even more astonishing given I had received a notice almost two years ago that one of my friends was no longer available at his address. Oh well, not a big deal right? Then I get a bill two years later showing they are still mailing it to this address?! Why would you spend the time to tell me he's not reachable there and then keep charging up a bill and sending stuff where it isn't needed. I am rating 2/5 merely because--as others have stated--some of their reviews are useful and I enjoyed the clever personalities in their articles. But I would never purchase from any associated magazines again (and there is a lot of them).
