They give you huge discounts to hook you in and then they want full price. At least they allow you to look at small photos of what is in their magazines so I am just going to check quarterly to see if I want to buy a digital copy.
Agree ! Maybe if a lot of us who shop HL email Corporate, they may reconsider ...
I subscribe to just 2 quilt mags currently, I used to get at least 5-6 for years. Like you, when they don't offer longtime subscribers a BETTER rate or keep raising renewal rates, compared to NEW subscribers, well they sure lost me !! No wonder most magazines are struggling these days ...
I'd rather choose issues when I see a good one on the newsstand. I also like to buy the "special" quilt issues that come out seasonally, you can't subscribe to most of those. It was nice to use a coupon for those at HL, and Joann's doesn't allow coupons for magazines.
