Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Love the mag, hate the company. Ordered 2 yr subscription thru Amazon. The subscription should end Feb 2013. RD had it ending in Nov 2012. Emailed Amazon, told them of the problem, and after several tries, they go it fixed. Several months ago I noticed the expir date had mysteriously "slipped" to Jan 2013, from Feb 2013 I contacted Amazon yet again, and once again Amazon got it fixed. I fully expect that one or two of the remaining issues will get "lost" in the mail. Moral of the story: If you subscribe to Reader's Digest WATCH THEM VERY VERY CLOSELY. And, Amazon was great in helping out. More? Ordered a RD subscription myself and one for a friend. At year end I noticed I had paid for 3, not 2, subscriptions. Never got a satisfactory answer from RD. This was several years ago. Another one? When my mother passed away I had RD sent to me for the remainder of the sub. When it expired RD started sending renewal notices. Having dealt with them before I just filed each one. After a few renewal notices, they changed into what looked like a bill. Then this "non-bill" morphed into a bill, the came the demand for payment on this "bill". That was followed by a threat to turn her over for collection. One letter to them informing them of their ethics problem stopped the "collection". Go on the web and key in "Readers Digest Complaints" and see what pops up. It'll be a ton of them. After doing just that I learned that RD apparently cut EVERYONE's subscription expiration date by a month after printing a double issue. Of course, when they do a "double issue" they don't do an issue for the next month. Then, they use that as a lame excuse to take one month off your subscription. And, from what I read, I'd have never gotten the problem fixed had not Amazon went to bat for me once again. Just go on the web and take a look for yourself.
