Negative Positive
Title: Was going to get a subscription as a gift but decided not to
Review: When I read reviews about problems with renewal notices followed by credit warnings, and multiple copies of back issues to those re-subscribing, I backed off. I am not sure why neither Amazon nor Rodale bothers to address/explain complaints here, but it doesn't inspire my confidence nor help them sell subscriptions. My 85-year-old mom subscribed to Prevention and another digest size magazine. The other magazine sold her a subscription out to 2017, using predatory, confusing renewal notices to elderly with bad memory, and still doing it, despite my requests to stop. The magazines might be under financial stress, but these predatory subscription practices make a smart buyer run the other way. Do you really think we don't notice? Amazon, why are you supporting this poor customer service?? Can Amazon at least try to explain and reassure concerns?
Is the review positive or negative?
