Magazine offers - DISCUSSION THREAD ONLY

thanks so not every offer is the same. I have cancelled a few magazines after the first one arrived or as soon as they have taken money. So this is wrong?

No problem . Yes, it appears so - though all the offers I had tried in the past were similar it seems.

No, it's not wrong as long as you received all mags promised in the offer (or you weren't really bothered if you received them all). On one occasion I remember cancelling after the 2nd & I didn't receive the 3rd! G

So i think i need to start making notes of the offers and the terms then, otherwise i will forget.

Hi,

I just emailed Nat mags to cancel my Harpers Bazaar subscription (applied a few months ago for free Molton Brown). I received a response stating it was a 12 month minimum term and I can't cancel! I am sure I would have noticed this and I would not have signed up if I had known.

Has anybody else had trouble when they have tried to cancel after the first direct debit has been taken? I have asked thm to post to me the agreement where it says it is a 12 month minimum, can people suggest anything else?

Thaanks!

Hi, I had this offer and cancelled a while ago but not heard anything. (I only cancelled the direct debit and didn't email them!) I am sure it wasn't a 12 month minimum term as I wouldn't have subscribed if it was.

I wonder if they realise a lot of people took out the subscription for the free gift and then cancelled, and now they are trying it on to get people to stay subscribed for 12 months. I have cancelled my direct debit and will wait for something from Nat mags in the post (the slightly annoying thing is I am also waiting for a free gift fom Zest, also Nat mags, and I don't even really like the magazine so I want to cancel it, my other theory is they are sending out gifts after 3 months so you stay subscribed for at least 6 months!) Any body care to comment?

The Molton Brown stuff was a really good free gift, but not so free if you pay for a year sub.

I am getting a lot of grief as I am trying to cancel this Harpers sub through Nat mags. There have been a few email axchanges now and they keep telling me it is a 12 month minimum term. I have cencelled the direct debit, and told them that and asked for evidence to show I agreed to the minimum 12 month term.

Should I just forget about it now, or can they do something to my credit rating for cancelling the direct debit?

Got my Body Shop make-up for the Elle sub today - it's really nice! Came in a tiny jiffy bag and didn't look like a magazine sub gift until I opened it.

A mascara, trio eyeshadow, lip gloss and liquid blusher thingie. Am really pleased
