“My favorite way to subscribe to magazines”

Donna N.

Ive been using Magazines.com for many years and have never had a problem. The prices are low and the service is very good. Other reviewers have complained about the auto renewal of subscriptions. I recommend that as soon as you place an order, go directly into your list of magazine subscriptions and turn off the auto renewal for your magazine. If you forget to do this, Magazines.com also emails you about a month before the subscription will be renewed so you can change/cancel it if you want. Also, Magazines.com sends emails with specials, discounts and coupons $5 - $7 off.

“Good luck trying to cancel”

Shawn K.

VERY SHADY BUSINESS TO AVOID. Had to cancel it at the bank. No response to emails sent. Plus we weren't exactly thrilled at theses guys changing from Martha Stewart to real simple magazine. M Stewart stopped printing magazines so why would i want to auto renew to something else. Really? Update...after canceling their ability to charge me next month for the auto renewal; they've acknowledged my cancelation thru email. I'd recommend not doing business with magazines.com
