If you plan to renew (or, I suppose, begin) a magazine subscription, it may be smart to do business over the phone. You may come out with a price significantly lower than those found in magazine inserts and mailed reminders. I speak from experience: anecdotal experience.
That concludes my advice for the day. YAEMV.

Especially since many of those mailed "reminders" are actually fraudulent solicitations by third parties. That scam never seems to go out of style.
ReplyDeleteI think the reminders in the mail were genuine. But one number on what appears to be a genuine subscriber-services page leads to an endless loop of gift-card and vacation offers. Very fishy.
ReplyDeleteYou mean 'PHishy.'
ReplyDeleteYes. And sketchy. But even legitimate offers from a magazine may name different prices.
