Subscription renewal woes
My mum tried to cancel our magazine subscription last year, but they never got back to her via email. And now, we've been charged again today, with no confirmation email. How rude of them!
Magazine subscription
I recently signed up for a magazine subscription and was a bit gutted to see that the patterns I liked are no longer in there. I tried to order them separately, but they wanted me to pay full whack. I've got a few issues of the magazine now, but haven't even opened them. I'm thinking of cancelling my subscription, but not sure how to go about it.
Magazine content
I thought the magazine was a bit too obsessed with beauty products, which was a letdown for me since I'm more of a country person and don't really wear makeup. I would've liked to see more real-life stories and less about beauty stuff. Usually, I can read the whole mag in one go, but this time I found myself skipping over a lot of pages that just didn't grab my attention.
Red magazine subscription
I've been a customer of this magazine subscription service for so long now and I've always thought their deals are great value. Buying and looking after my subscription has been really easy, so I find it simple to keep up-to-date with Red, my favourite magazine.
Magazine subscription for Good Housekeeping
I've been reading this magazine for ages now, and I always find the articles really interesting and engaging. I love the health and recipe sections, they always draw me in, and the financial advice is really handy too. Overall, I just find the whole magazine really entertaining and it always leaves me feeling inspired.
Magazine subscription renewal
I've been reading this magazine for a long time and I've always liked what they publish. But I was a bit gutted to see that my subscription got renewed without me knowing. I would've liked to decide how to pay for it again instead of it just getting taken from my credit card without a heads-up. Now I'm struggling to cancel this automatic renewal and it's becoming a big hassle.
Magazine subscription
I've been subscribing to this magazine for two years now, and I have to say, the content is always interesting and varied. The articles cover a wide range of topics that I find really engaging. I often keep hold of old issues because there are so many fascinating facts and stories I like to go back to. I even share them with my friends and family, who also enjoy reading them. I especially love the fashion articles, recipes, horoscopes, and editorials about rising actors.
Promotional 6-month subscription
I recently went and signed up for a 6-month promotional subscription offer, but I had a bit of bother when it came to cancelling it. Even though I made a note in my diary to cancel on time, trying to do so turned out to be a right nightmare. The website said I could sort it all out online, but I just ended up going round and round in circles without getting anywhere. After wrestling with the website for a bit, I had no option but to ring customer service to cancel. And even now, I'm not sure if it's been done properly. In the end, I had to stop my direct debit to make sure the subscription was cancelled. It's really frustrating when companies say they're above board but then make it so hard for customers to quit their subscriptions.
Mum's birthday gift
Last year for my mum's birthday, I gifted her a magazine subscription, thinking it was a one-off present. However, they ended up charging me for a renewal two months earlier than I expected! Can they even do that? I definitely won't be purchasing from them again, that's for certain!
Good Housekeeping magazine subscription
I really like Good Housekeeping magazine because it has loads of interesting stuff in it, like fashion, cooking, real-life stories, beauty products, and holidays. I trust that the products they recommend have been tested by experts, so I feel confident when I buy them. I can't wait for my monthly Good Housekeeping magazine to arrive in the post.
Gift subscription renewal issue
My story with the gift subscription began back in April 2020 when I signed up for a 6-month gift subscription deal. However, it wasn't until May 2024 that I realised I had actually been charged for 2 different magazine subscriptions for 4 whole years without even knowing it. I was genuinely surprised to find out that the code linked to the gift subscription meant it would just keep going without any updates or chance to review the terms. It felt like a bit of a trick, and after lots of questions, I eventually managed to stop the subscription altogether. From now on, I'll definitely be more careful with any future subscriptions and make sure I fully understand what I'm agreeing to before I sign up.
Magazine subscription
Being a reader of this magazine for quite some time now, I have to say I'm a bit let down by the lack of diversity in the content. It seems to be very focused on women and doesn't really represent men or male entrepreneurs/businessmen. Also, seeing the same 'celebrities' like Davina McCall, Joanna Lumley, and Fern Britton all the time is starting to get boring and uninspiring. It would be nice to have some more variety and hear from new voices in the magazine.
Magazine subscription
I am absolutely fuming about this magazine subscription, it was a complete rip-off! They told me I would get a free gift, but then backtracked and said it was only for a different subscription. I even showed them a screenshot of the offer I had signed up for. And on top of that, I still haven't received the magazines I paid for. The customer service team doesn't seem bothered at all. Honestly, this company is just dreadful.
Amazing Red magazine
Red magazine is such a treat every month, I just adore it! My best friend and I always argue over who gets to dive into it first (spoiler alert: it's always me). I'm a big fan of all the fashion and beauty features, and the book and media reviews are spot on. I sometimes skip the home and cooking bits at the end, but hey, you can't please everyone, right? Whenever I'm on the train, Red keeps me entertained and the journey flies by. Shoutout to the amazing team behind this awesome magazine - you're all amazing!
Subscription to magazines
I've been subscribed to these magazines for a good few years now, and I have to say, I'm really happy with them. The content is always interesting, whether it's the newest fashion, yummy recipes, or useful tips for everyday life. The writing and editing are always great, so every issue is a joy to read.
Subscription renewal
I had a bit of a problem with my magazine subscription renewal from this company. I signed up for 6 months and made sure to remember to cancel it before it renewed automatically. But, even though I cancelled on time, the company went ahead and charged me for the next period anyway. I got in touch with customer service to sort it out but so far I haven't heard back from them or got it fixed.
Subscription renewal issue
I've been a loyal customer of Hearst magazines for years, but I've hit a bit of a snag with renewing my subscriptions recently. Before, I could just set up a direct debit and it was all sorted without any bother. But now, they've gone and taken that option away, which has left me feeling pretty annoyed and let down by the whole process. It's a shame to see them not taking into account what their customers actually want and instead making things more complicated with these less convenient payment methods.
Magazine subscription review
I really like reading most of the stuff in the magazine, but I do get a bit annoyed with how they always seem to be talking about women's accomplishments and really expensive fashion things. I do like keeping up with the latest trends, even though I'm in my seventies, but some of those prices are just way too much for me. And it's not great that they automatically renew the subscription without giving you any heads up beforehand.
Home and lifestyle magazine
This magazine is such a refreshing change in the world of home and lifestyle publications. The recipes they share are not only yummy but also super easy to follow, which is great for someone like me who isn't a pro in the kitchen. I've tried quite a few of the recipes and they've all been a hit with my family and friends. Also, the articles about home interiors are really inspiring. I'm all in for the concept of using reclaimed and old items to create a cool and unique home decor. It's given me tons of ideas on how to spruce up my living space without spending a fortune. In general, this magazine has become my top go-to for home and lifestyle inspiration.
Good Housekeeping
I absolutely love receiving Good Housekeeping every month, before it arrives in the shops! It was easy to subscribe and I'll be looking to subscribe to another title as well.
