Magazines.com Reviews

I got two subscriptions for someone and they worked fine until that person moved. Even after the magazines became undeliverable, magazines.com kept auto renewing. Once I called to get them stopped, they did cancel but no refund or store credit appeared. When I followed up about it, I didn't hear back. Their auto renewal system seems designed to rip people off and make money.

Never got my magazines and had to report the charges as fraudulent with my credit card company just to get the money back.

I was promised I'd get a notification before my People subscription renewed. That never showed up. I checked everything and no notification arrived. I think that's how they operate, luring you in with a bargain then surprise charging you at renewal. The cancellation process is a pain with tons of menu options and voice prompts. Finally reached a person and she was calling from some facility overseas. She said the subscription got cancelled and a refund was issued, but we'll see.

The technology is incredibly slow. Feels sketchy, maybe worse. Processing payments takes forever and canceling subscriptions is a nightmare.

Total scam operation here. I turned off auto renewal after getting my subscriptions and got a confirmation number. Eight months go by and I get an email saying I'll be charged $35 if I don't cancel. Problem is the link doesn't work, my password reset failed, and when I call the number it just hangs up. Emails go nowhere. I had to report it as fraud through PayPal and ask my bank to flag future charges from them.

They just quit shipping my magazine even though coverage supposedly went through next April. Somehow they misread a date and cut it off. Then they pointed fingers at the magazine itself. And that's on top of dealing with their automated system that's nearly impossible to escape, plus when you do get a person they're calling from overseas. I've been a customer for years but I'm finished. That's it.

Skip ordering from them. Bad experience all around. I got Golf Magazine and was promised an umbrella and gear bag. After calling repeatedly with empty promises, I never got either item. Plus it took forever to receive the first magazine. They charged my card for renewal without me asking. Getting my money back was a hassle.

Canceling a subscription with them is basically impossible. Total scam.

They charged my card for a Southern Living subscription I never signed up for, amount was 48 bucks. No idea how they got my card details. I haven't placed any magazine orders in years. I killed that card right away to prevent more unauthorized charges. My credit card company did reverse the charge, thank goodness. The magazine business might be struggling but turning to theft is not okay.

My card was hit for 48 dollars for a Southern Living subscription I never signed up for. Have no clue how they grabbed my card number. Hadn't ordered a magazine subscription from anyone in ages. I shut down that card to stop any more charges. The credit card company reversed it thankfully. The magazine industry might be struggling but resorting to theft is wrong.
