Love of Quilting Magazine forever
I've been getting 'Love of Quilting' magazine by Fons and Porter for years and years. I had to call them recently about an order and said I should probably renew my subscription while I was on the phone. The gal went quiet for some time and then she spoke. She said my subscription didn't run out until 2027. I asked her if she was kidding. She said she wasn't.
She said that I kept subscribing about three times a year or more for quite a few years. I said I only subscribed when there was a bag on the magazine and a subscription card inside of it. She said that didn't mean it was time to subscribe. Well, I'll be. Ha ha. I asked her if they could NOT put a bag around mine and NEVER put a subscription card in the bag. She said okay. Am I the only kooky one out here? At least I never have to pay for it until 2027. That's a plus! |
My husband gets 20+ magazines so I've really learned to manage them. On many magazines, your subscription expiration date is printed on your mailing label. Magazines (almost all magazines) will send a card out to renew your subscription far in advance of the actual date, often years in advance. I always check the mailing label before renewing.

What if mag goes under before 2027-will you get a refund?
|
You have to watch for those and also the notices from phony renewal companies. I always check my label for the expiration date before renewing.
|
I noticed the other day that some of mine will out last me. I sure felt bad that I just kept sending in to renew whenever I got a notice without checking to see how long I have.
|
jcrow, that's too funny. Must be a good feeling to know you are paid up so far in advance! :)

This very thing happened to me with Readers Digest some years ago. Taught me a lesson to check the label.
|
they always send more offers and i always look at the expiration date before falling for it. I was about to do two years on another one but realized they meant one year for me and one for a friend i'd given a year sub too. she didn't need the mag so i did not send them anything. i expire in 2017 on that one. only took it for my granddtr's school thing.

I've always been able to find a better rate than the ones given with the subscription cards that come with the magazines.
