I am a subscriber of PC Magazine and Dr. Dobb’s Journal. Recently my DDJ is expired but I have no idea about that. They should put something special on the cover of the last issue so that the customer will know. That’s passive.<\/p>\n
My PC Magazine subscription is going to expire this November. Ironically, they sent me a postcard said that if I didn’t renew, they will charge my credit card automatically<\/strong><\/em> so that I won’t miss any issue. Sweet huh? That’s aggressive, but we are not through yet. They charge me $34.97 for one year (that’s 24 issues I believe). On their web site, anyone can have the deal of $25 for 25 issues. Why did they treat their existing subscribers like morons?<\/p>\n Actually I didn’t read the postcard, I found they charge my Wells Fargo card when I was using Money 2004 to manage my bills. Well, the first thing I do is to call Wells Fargo that the transaction is not authorized by me and you guys should take care of possible fraud<\/em>. Then I have to call PC Magazine guys. Guess what? Nobody home. I had to write an e-mail to complain about that, and then they told me I have to cancel the automatic transaction myself via their convenient<\/strong><\/em> web service, and they’ve already told me this on the little 8-pt-fonted postcard. Sorry Mr. Dvorak, I can’t help to use your style criticizing the stupidity of PC Magazine. The greatest thing is that both Wells Fargo and PC Magazine refunded me. That’s sweet \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Sep. 30: Oops, finally PC Mag wakes up and corrects the wrong refund ;p<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I am a subscriber of PC Magazine and Dr. Dobb’s Journal.
