I only renew online - I keep a list of magazines and expiration dates in my iPhone so I know when they are due (my old lady memory doesn't work very well!). Or you can just give them a call when it's time to renew. A renewal in the mail,is also,a reminder to me to check my list and go online. We get these kind of scams all the time from all kinds of "businesses" - seems to me that this should be mail fraud.

I got one saying in order to renew my Quilters World magazine I would have to pay a price of almost 18.00 a magazine. I don't even have a subscription to that one. I wonder why they think people are that stupid.

I never even open them when they come...

I know print media is in trouble and I hope it survives, but trying to cancel a subscription I didn't intend to renew has driven me out of the market.

same here,
