Zing Magazine?

Hi everyone, I received a card from zing magazine this morning offering me free sun glasses worth £50 if I take out another subscription for £15,to be honest I feel as if I'm being messed about with the first subscription never mind another one. I can't remember the last magazine I had from them...it all seems a bit iffy.. Anyone else feel the same:confused:

    Yeah have to agree - its been pretty piece meal service so far. Wasn't overly impressed with the last month's issue anyway.

    Rather abide at the center of your being.

  • I subscribed for £12.00 if I remember rightly, paid by cheque, received one issue and they still haven't cashed their cheque :confused:

  • I ordered zing magazine and I've received my free sunglasses already. Only thing is it wasn't clear on the subscription whether it was for 12 mags or 15, as both were on the page!

    I haven't received my zing mag yet though and I have e-mailed them with no reply as yet. Hope this isn't a sign of things to come. :S

    That page it says subscribe to 12 issues. My e-mail says 15 issues, but my letter says 12 issues. Strange.

    we have only had about 4 issues of the last subscription so why would we want to renew it
  • I haven't even received one issue yet, let alone four. :confused:

    I subscribed on 27th June, I got my first issue in early September, and my second on 28th October. Nothing since. So in the nearly 5 1/2 months since I subscribed I have received 2 magazines. Not quite the monthly it should be. Surely the next one should be here soon, it has been over 5 weeks since the last.

    bit of a cheek!!

    should we all contact watchdog?

    sounds like we have all been conned!!
  • I must agree.......I think the whole zing thing has been a bit dodgy but I recuperated my £9 subscription within a month as I bought soo many "best" magazines that had the initial zing included and its really got me into voucher using big time and I regularly save approximately a tenner a week on the big weekly shop.

    However......this doesn't mean that they should get away with it and I also thought that last issue was very poor compared to the initial issues.

    I think the sunglasses offer was to try and get us to encourage friends and relatives to subscribe but thats highly unlikely with the poor service offered so far.
