Magazines.com Promo Codes for December 2025

Deceptive business practices

I made the HUGE mistake of ordering before checking here to see if it is a scam site. Strictly speaking, not a true scam but they say on their website that "you can cancel anytime and be refunded for the issues not received." They also sent NO email to verify purchase. The only record I have is Paypal, where they took the $ under another biz name Meredith Operation Corporation. Ppl here are 100% right that you cant get through to a customer service agent and they make it VERY VERY hard to cancel orders/subscriptions.

I would give it a Zero

I would give it a Zero. SCAM. impossible to get in touch with anyone. IMPOSSIBLE TO CANCEL. No ability to get through the automated menu. It takes you in circles. Any information you enter - name, zip code, order #, etc. they claim not to be able to find. But they sure know how to bill your credit card.

⭐ 1 Star

⭐ 1 Star — Magazines.com (Order #2905508848)I placed an order with Magazines.com back in August 2025 and, to this day, have not received a single issue — digital or physical. I was charged immediately, but have had zero communication or confirmation of activation.The order included:Allrecipes Magazine – 5 issuesReal Simple – 6 issuesBetter Homes & Gardens – 10 issuesIt’s now been over two months with nothing delivered and no updates. Very disappointing experience, and I won’t be shopping with Magazines.com again unless this is made right.Mike in FL 🐾 — Verified Purchase, August 2025

Issues canceling subscriptions

Website is not allowing me to cancel auto renew subscriptions I do not wish to have and advertises a phone number supposedly available 7 days a week but that does not work when you call it

Absolute scam

Absolute scam. I cancelled auto renew within a month of receiving the subscriptions, and received confirmation number. Then 8 months later I received an email telling me I would be charged $35 unless I cancelled. But link was dead, my saved password no longer worked and couldn’t be reset, and the phone number automatically disconnected when called. No one responded to emails so I had to just report it as fraudulent charge to PayPal, and ask my bank to put a note in my file to flag them if they ever tried to charge me again.

Will not take responsibility for their mistakes

They just stopped sending my magazine even though it said I was covered until next April. Somewhere they saw 7/17/25 so they stopped it. Then blamed it on the vendor. This is on top of their automated system ( which is almost impossible to get out of) when you do talk to a human they are from some foreign country. I had been a long time customer but not anymore. Done with them.

I purchased two separate subscriptions…

I purchased two separate subscriptions for my nieces last Christmas and they never got them. I called customer service and they gave me 3rd party numbers. Not happy and neither are the girls.

Do not purchase from them

Do not purchase from them. Bad news. Ordered Golf Magazine. Was to get a umbrella & gear bag. despite many phone calls and promised to send them. NEVER RECEIVED. Took a long time to get first magazine. Charged credit card for renewal. Had to fight to get my money back. Stay away

Very hateful customer service rep

Very hateful customer service rep. After submitting a change of address for four magazine subscriptions over 8 weeks ago, I called after 6 weeks and advised only one of the four were being delivered. The CS rep. said it took 6 weeks before the change of address would take effect, so I called at 8 weeks and was again dealing with the hateful CS rep. I ended up just canceling all subscriptions. Run, don't walk from these folks!!!

Deceitful pricing total at checkout…

I ended up NOT ordering from Magazine.com after I saw the advertised price for People Magazine($48 for 48 weeks)was NOT the total you would be charged and renewed yearly! It was $107. Really? You gotta really pay attention because it also had an auto yearly renewal you’ll be charged for! Shame on yall I give “0” for such deceit

I subscribed to Real Simple last year…

I subscribed to Real Simple last year 2024. When I got an email saying they were going to renew this year 2025 I tried to cancel online but couldn’t. Called and cancelled on May22. On July 4th they charged my credit card. I emailed customer service and they sent me a refund check in the mail and said they cancelled the auto renewal. Today I got an email again saying it was going to renew and charge my account on the 31st of August if I didn’t cancel. I emailed them today August 14th and received a email back saying they are going to refund money that I haven’t paid yet and stopped auto renewal. I think I am going to have to get a new credit card number just to get this to stop.

They make it impossible to cancel a…

They make it impossible to cancel a subscription. Scam!

TV Guide not received

i ordered Tv guide mag was told it would take 4 to 6 weeks. After that I was told it would take 12 weeks. It never came. I wrote to customer service a few times and now they tell me to call TV guide about missed issue. It's not a missed issue. its the subscription that never started. Save your money, avoid this site.

Run! Do not use Magazines.com!

The "customer service" at Magazines.com seems deliberately designed to prevent subscribers from ever cancelling a subscription or an auto-renewal. Having received an email from this company reminding me about an upcoming autorenewal that I believe I cancelled years ago, I attempted to cancel it using the link they sent. My email was not recognized?! They emailed ME. So I called their 1800 customer service number. Hahaha haha. No live person, just a monitone,repetitive IVR that is zero help. When you subscribe to a magazine online, often it's through this company, but it's not immediately apparent. I will be more attentive in future; if I see I'm going through Magazines.com, lI will not subscribe. They provide a truly terrible customer experience.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE (E-V-E-R)!!

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE (E-V-E-R)!!! PERSON I GOT ON PHONE WAS IN ANOTHER COUNTRY! WAS IN A REALLY B-I-G! HURRY TO GET ME OFF! THE PHONE & SAID BYE? QUITE A FEW TIMES MID SENTENCE WHILE I WAS T-R-Y-I-N-G??? TO LET HER KNOW? ABOUT MY DISSATISFACTION WITH THEIR SERVICE! I WON'T START GETTING MY MAGAZINES UNTIL JULY? I WILL NEVER! EVER! ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY AGAIN!!!

I ordered a magazine (Blade) on…

I ordered a magazine (Blade) on 12/29/24 and as of 5/14/25 I have not received 1 copy. I e-mailed, messaged them on Facebook and called them numerous times and they never responded to me.

Magazinez.Com is the Worst Company Ever!

I cancelled a magazine and they never reimbursed me..when i called them they said I wasnt owed the money. Then they thought I was talking about another magazine I had ordered and paid for a month before, they stopped that magazine and sent me the money I had paid for that one. So I was left without either magazine. I have dealt with them before and they are the worst. I will never ever deal with this terrible company again.

Charged my credit card 48 bucks for…

Charged my credit card 48 bucks for Southern Living subscription which I never ordered. Don't know how they got my card number. I haven't ordered a magazine subscription in years from anybody. Cancelled my credit card to avoid further problems. Charge was reversed by credit card provider. I know the mag. business is dying but resorting to fraud is unacceptable.

Disappointed grandkids

I ordered Discover magazine for my grand kids Dec 2 and this company charged my card and it is March 11 and it still never got received. I called and was assured that it would go out and never did. So now I have to dispute the charge on my credit card. What a hassel. Just another online scam.

Never received my magazine

I ordered a subscription of readers digest and I never received one single book. I sent them an email and they said I have to contact RD directly. They will not give me a refund either.
