National Geographic

We have been a valued member since 1965 according to our last notice in July of this year. We no longer have a subscription to ourselves but send it to our son. The notice says the price is 27.00. I called and charged the amt to our credit card as I have always done for years and years. Our acct came in and we were charged in USD not Canadian funds. We have never paid in US funds. They tell me that I am charged because I used a credit card but if I send in a cheque it would be Canadian funds as written on the notice. No where does it state this on their notice. They even provide a section where one is to write the credit card numbers.
We have cancelled our subscription and they tell me I will receive a refund.
Shame on the National Geographic for the underhanded way of treating a long term client.

If I could give a zero star, I would. I have traveled with Abercrombie and Kent, Micato, UCLA Travel, and others and by far, this was the worst trip I have ever been on. Maybe it was due to the recent sale of Nat Geo to Disney. Maybe they were good before they sold out. I traveled with another couple who agreed. Cellophane wrapped cold sandwiches from gas stations for lunch, no bottled water, missed meals, rude tour guide, and forced masknig in private transportaion despite being fully vaccinated and only among other vaccinated friends. I thought maybe it was a one off, but the way Nat Geo treated me after the trip, I don't think so. This was a $6,250 per person trip and they offered me a $250 refund even after acknowledgeing the mistakes that were made. Don't use National Geographic. Use Abercrombie and Kent or any other high end guide service.

I have been a National Geographic member for 55 years, from the age of 10. In the past several years I have found the magazine has lost focus to it's mission and is is now trying to compete with Vogue or the New Yorker. For most of the past year I have looked briefly through the magazine a have thrown them into the trash without reading a full article I will not renew the magazine and will not go on any trips organized by National Geographic.

Site is super buggy. Commercials lock up in the middle of videos. Also doesn't allow videos to rotate on portable devices. I do not recommend.

Pay to learn. No way. Would rate 0 stars if possible. I'm not paying to read 1 article.
Do not, for any reason, use National Geographic.

I dislike watching the shows on ur ngwhd because all u guys do is have zoo shows and Dr. Pole shows all day long.

U guys stopped showing worlds deadliest and Australia's deadliest so on so forth... it's always always the same thing Dr. Pole

I used to really enjoy National Geographic and gave my daughter a subscription in 2018. Unknown to me they automatically enrolled me for renewal and I didn't find out until 2020 that I already paid for a subscription for 2019. She had moved half way through 2018 so I've paid for for an extra year. Called customer service and they did nothing for me. I feel like it is very underhanded to automatically renew with a gift subscription. Very disappointed in this company!

I just love National Geo! They have some of the best documentaries and exploring series and movies I've ever seen.

As for the site, it's simply beautiful, and very easy to get around on. I love viewing all the amazing photos, and there's even a section for games! At first I didn't really get it, but it's the sort of games that test your knowledge on different that NG covered. It also serves as a great way to learn new stuff.

All in all - one of the websites totally worth bookmarking!

I simply love to watch documentaries and there is no comparison with National Geographic. There is a huge collection of documentaries on it that help us to come across the reality. I mean you guys are doing great job... lot of research and lot of knowledge. Good to go guys. Love you all.

Used to enjoy the channel but now is it repetetive!
Constant Border Security Shows, an entire month of "Shark Fest" in July every year!
Unless they find some new and interesting programs we're out

Articles from this site that appear on search results on engines such as Google are blocked to read unless site visitors sign up for an account. This sort of teasing of content and forcing users to register goes against the fundamental nature of open content which makes the internet, search engines, and the world wide web function. If all sites did this, the internet would not be an accessible place for information, and every person would have to register with dozens or even many hundreds of companies, all forcing users to terms of use that would be impossible for any person to fully read and accept (despite clicking I agree button, which starts to feel meaningless after a hundred times), while all these entities recieve the ability to easily track users and collect information. I can never in good faith share a link or suggest a site like this, knowing that anybody who follows it will be forced to enter into a service agreement and identify themselves before even being allowed to read publicly searchable articles. If National Geographic wants to wall off their content from readers, that should include web search engines instead of using them in a way that feels like click-bait. I'm disappointed in National Geographic as a source of information and media and will look to other resources with less draconian web publishing policies the next time any subject is mentioned referencing any article on this site.

My first choice was to send the company feedback, but their site doesn't seem to have any way to do so. Searching for "national geographic feedback" finds me only links for feedback with the television channel, and a supposed web survey for the actual site which does not load for me. So I wrote this review instead.

Unfactual sensatioal documentaries,
Documentaries are only made to make you wow with visuals while distorting the truth and presenting lies as facts
