  • I've just done this and given my bank details, but after I clicked 'Confirm' on the payment page, it went to a page which said 'link broken' and didn't display it. Went back and clicked confirm again and nothing happened. Am rather worried - is this site safe??

    Also tried ringing on the number given onthe website, and doesn't seem like a professional company - there was a answering machine message, didn't say I'd gotten through to the company or anything, just said 'I will get back to you when I get back to my desk'. ???

    Do you mean on the Lets Subscribe website? I didn't have any problems doing it online so didn't have any direct contact with them I must admit.
  • Yes, I do mean the lets subscribe website
  • I've been subscribing to these special offers for years. I have never cancelled direct with website/publisher; All I do is watch my bank account like a hawk until they take the 1st payment, then cancel the DD straightaway. I just do this on my banking website. I've found the time it takes for them to set up the DD and take the first payment varies enormously - some send written confirmation of roughly when its going to happen; some don't. What they want is for you to not notice the DD has been taken then quickly wham you with the next much biggger sub - that can happen just a day or two later (someone on another thread has posted of a big DD being taken on the same day as the first small DD!)
    I've never had any probs except maybe once or twice the mags themselves haven't arrived. But since I'm nearly always in profit anyway because I've signed up with cashback through quidco, I don't mind.
    The way I look at it is once you have cancelled your DD they have no mandate to take money from your account..but then again, I may be proved wrong one day...!

  • Has everyone received their traveller free gift? I got the magazine this week but no sign of the elemis serum?

    I received all the other freebies a few days before the magazines started arriving.
  • Thanks OP

    Have just signed up through Quidco to try Guardian weekly @ £1 for 4 weeks (never get time to read a daily paper any more). Plus 'The Week' was free for 6 issues, so figured "Why Not".

    Hoping to make profit from the £5 or £4.50 cashback and sharpen up my conversational ability after 9 months of maternity leave! :T

    I also took up this offer and was wondering where my Elemis was. On Monday I recieved a letter from the publishers to say that stock had run out but they sent me a replacement gift of some very nice Neal's Yard goodies.
