For the last few months I've been getting emails and notices to "pay my bill" to Stereophile....
"Thank you for your subscription to Stereophile magazine. As a special subscriber service, you can now pay your bill online! "
Problem is that I don't see where I owe them. My subscription is ending next month and this seems to me to be a new renewal tactic. I have no recollection of renewing recently, but Stereophile is implying that I may have.
I find this tactic sneaky and less than I would expect from them.
I have no problem with the magazine aside from the fact that I never read it. I've subscribed for 6 years I think and rarely have read one through. Usually, I glance through them and set them aside. May 2015 is sitting on my desk a foot away and has been for a month or more.
The only reason I renewed last time was because they made it so damn cheap; like 3 year for $10 or something like that.
I just unsubscribed from the emails and will toss out the letters. If I took the time to read the mag, I probably would renew, but since I've read like 2 in the past 3 years, I'm going to face reality and pass.
