you dispute the validity of the issue, which is:
''
I certainly don't recall responding to this special offer 3 years ago - This is BS as that is something I would never knowingly choose.
Now I look at my credit card and pending is the next 3 years subscription.''
and seek to justify it as 'Common Practice'.
As a very long term subscriber to Stereophile until recently, I was truly pissed off by their distribution company which:
invites all to put card and personal details on a 3in by 2in bit of cutout and send it to them
Choose not to accept long held international addresses so that subscriptions can be renewed on the web after log in
invites you to sort out subscription problems by phoning someone (who the hell are they?) not employed by the magazine and who now says it cannot control, to provide card and address details.
It is certainly not common or acceptable international practice to administer subscriptions in this way, and I would add that I have never encountered such behaviour from anybody, including those from the US.
In contrast, Absolute Sound and HiFiNews manage subscriptions in a straightforward way.
