Just got the bill, $23 per year. I'm reluctant to do 2 years however, you never know about the economy and future publications.
Plus, I'm a cheapskate...

Stereophile Scamming Subscribers?
I just got my renewal notice in the mail. I had previously subscribed for 3 years, and now it was expiring. I have been a subscriber for over 20 years. The notice stated I could renew for the low, low price of $33/year if I commit for 2 years. I figured I would go online and renew that way. I searched out Sterophile.com and lo and behold, a NEW subscription costs only $15/yr with a 2-year commitment.
What are they doing??
@jtuba Yep -they said $18 was the new rate, I told them to cancel and it went to $9.00. I am sure magazines are the same way. Just play hard ball, they need you more then you need them. |
