Dear Ms. [redacted]:  
 
I write in response to the inquiry registered with your office by consumer [redacted].  We genuinely regret the inconvenience that Mr. [redacted] experienced regarding his magazine subscriptions, and have attempted to resolve his concerns.
 
Our records show that Mr. [redacted] placed an order for [redacted] through our program when he accepted our promotional offer, which was presented by [redacted].  The offer allowed him to receive one term of his magazine selections for a points paid subscription.
 
On February 7, 2015, Mr. [redacted] contacted our customer service center via our online website and stated he had not received any issues for [redacted]. We took the liberty of contacting the publisher and they confirmed there were no delivery problems. His subscription was extended for the missed issues.
 
Mr. [redacted] contacted our customer service center via our online website again, on March 7, 2015, and requested to cancel his subscription to [redacted].  Mr. [redacted] was advised [redacted] policy does not allow a refund of customer’s miles.
Upon receipt of your correspondence on March 16, 2015, we took the liberty of contacting [redacted] and requested to have Mr. [redacted]’s account reimbursed for the 1,900 miles. They have honored our request and refunded 1,900 miles to his account. It should be noted that [redacted] direct us to ask customers to allow three to four weeks for written confirmation of the refund to appear back to their account.
For the inconvenience, we have placed a complimentary order for The Economist. The publisher has confirmed Mr. [redacted]’s first issue will be the March 28, 2015 issue.
 
We apologize for the unsatisfactory experience Mr. [redacted] had with our company. Please be assured that customer satisfaction is very important to us and we take great care in providing our customers with the highest level of service.  If I can be of any further assistance in this matter, please contact me at [redacted].

Our records show that Ms. [redacted] ordered [redacted] and [redacted], when she accepted our promotional offer, which was presented by [redacted].  The offer allowed her to choose from a selection of magazines and receive the first 90 days of a 15-month subscription without being charged.  After the trial period, her subscriptions would continue automatically following the initial term and that the same credit card would be charged if she did not call us to cancel. In addition, it is our policy that customers who wish to cancel may do so at any time by calling our toll-free customer service number, which is provided on our renewal notice and also on the customer’s billing statement with each charge.

Upon receipt of your correspondence, on November 17, 2014, we cancelled Ms. [redacted] subscriptions to [redacted] and [redacted], generating a full refund in amount of $72.00.  It should be noted, however, that banks direct us to ask customers to allow one or two billing statements for written confirmation of the refund to appear, depending on their billing cycle.
Ms. [redacted] can be assured that all of her subscriptions have been cancelled and all charges refunded to her account.  Also, Ms. [redacted] may continue to receive one or two more issues of her magazines since they were in process at the time of cancellation.

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because: they are mislead the customer.  The come-on is $100 value for free... with no mention of any cost.I appreciate your attempts to mediate, but I am convinced they design the approach to include a come-on, and then a cost at the back end.  Does the approach remind you of automobile dealers?  It does me.

This is a very deceptive program. I never received any notification of upcoming renewals until recently. I did receive one from one of the magazines which did say If you don't respond we will continue! This is totally NOT the way subscriptions USUALLY work! You generally have to subscribe again for renewal. They also have your debit info and continue to charge it. Discount!! That is a joke! Charge every 6 months for a one year subscription which turns out to be $46 for a year of magazines! Where is the discount! I DID return the DO NOT RENEW letter along with a personal letter stating the same and that magazine was STILL renewed using my card. That was NOT an authorized purchase!

For the record, I never received a renewal notice or reminder for any of the magazines. Whereas, I can understand how they may have neglected to send one renewal notice or reminder, but for more than one not being sent shows and tells me they never meant to send a renewal alert or reminder for any of the subscriptions. The saying goes, its easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. They will more than likely continue their underhanded business practice.

Complaint

I discovered an UNAUTHORIZED charge on my credit card statement to Synapse Group for a magazine subscription. I called on 9-18-15 to have this reversed. The girl said it was done. I looked the next day, still on there. I called again. The man confirmed it had not been reversed. He guaranteed it...

would be done on 9-19-15. I asked for an email confirmation immediately and he said it would take 5 days. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. Today is 9-21-15 and it still it not done. I WANT THIS REFUND PROCESSED AND EMAIL CONFIRMATION SENT TO ME IMMEDIATELY.







Desired Resolution

I WANT THIS MONEY REFUNDED TO ME IMMEDIATELY.

Dear Ms [redacted]:  
I write in response to the
inquiry registered with your office by consumer [redacted]. We genuinely regret
the inconvenience that Ms. [redacted] experienced regarding her magazine subscriptions, and have attempted to resolve her concerns.
Our records show Ms. [redacted] placed three orders with our
company when she accepted our promotional offer, which was presented by [redacted]
after she had completed a survey following an online purchase. The first order was placed
for [redacted]
and [redacted].  The second order
was placed for [redacted],
[redacted] and [redacted] and the
third order was placed for [redacted].
These offers allowed her to receive the first term of her magazine selections
for a nominal fee of $2.00 for each subscription. The offers also provided that her subscriptions would
automatically continue following the initial term and that the same credit card
would be charged if she did not call us to cancel.  In addition, it is our policy that customers
who wish to cancel may do so at any time by calling our toll-free customer
service number, which is provided on our renewal notice and also on the customer’s
billing statement with each charge.
When we did not hear from Ms. [redacted] that she wished to cancel her
subscriptions at the end of her first term, the annual subscription charges
were posted to her account.
We
received notification from Ms. [redacted]’ bank on April 21, 2014, April 24, 2014,
and April 27, 2014, that we could not obtain authorization on her credit card
for her subscriptions to [redacted] and [redacted], resulting in her orders being cancelled.
Upon receipt of your correspondence, on June 4,
2014, we cancelled Ms. [redacted]’ subscriptions to [redacted] and [redacted], generating a full refund in amount of $150.00 back to
her account. It should be noted, however, that banks direct us to ask customers
to allow one or two billing statements for written confirmation of the refund
to appear, depending on their billing cycle.
Ms. [redacted] can be assured that her subscriptions have been
cancelled.  Also, Ms. [redacted] may continue
to receive one or two more issues of her magazines since they were in process
at the time of cancellation.  She may
keep these with our compliments.
We also regret that Ms.
[redacted] experienced any inconvenience in using our toll-free customer service
number.  Our automated customer service
line was designed to provide customers with the most efficient means possible
for addressing their concerns regarding their subscriptions, and we are sorry
that she found this system difficult to use. 
Please be assured that customer satisfaction is very important to
us and we take great care in providing our customers with the highest level of
service.  If I can be of any further

Re:      Complaint Case #: [redacted]

Dear [redacted]:  
 
I write in response to the inquiry registered with your office by consumer [redacted].  We genuinely regret the inconvenience that Ms. [redacted] experienced regarding her magazine subscriptions, and have attempted to resolve her concerns.
 
Our records show that Ms. [redacted] placed an order for [redacted], and [redacted], when she accepted our promotional offer, which was presented by [redacted] after she had completed a survey following an online purchase. This offer allowed her to receive the first term of her magazine selections for a nominal fee of $2.00 for each subscription. The offer also provided that her subscriptions would automatically continue following the initial term and that the same credit card would be charged if she did not call us to cancel.  In addition, it is our policy that customers who wish to cancel may do so at any time by calling our toll-free customer service number, which is provided on our renewal notice and also on the customer’s billing statement with each charge.
 
Prior to the renewal, Ms. [redacted] would receive a notice reminding her of the upcoming renewal charge and the date by which to cancel to avoid being charged.  We have checked our records and found that this postcard was mailed to her on September 28, 2014. We apologize if she did not receive this postcard, as these are mailed to our customer’s as a reminder of future billing events.
 
When we did not hear from Ms. [redacted] that she wished to cancel her subscriptions at the end of her first term, the annual subscription charges were posted to her account.
 
Upon receipt of your correspondence on December 9, 2014, we cancelled Ms. [redacted]’s subscriptions to [redacted], and [redacted], generating a full refund in the amount of $120.00 to her account. It should be noted that banks direct us to ask customers to allow one to two billing statements for written confirmation of the refund to appear, depending on their billing cycle.
 
Ms. [redacted] can be assured that her subscriptions have been cancelled.  Also, Ms. [redacted] may continue to receive one or two more issues of her magazines since they were in process at the time of cancellation.  She may keep these with our compliments. 
 
Please be assured that customer satisfaction is very important to us and we take great care in providing our customers with the highest level of service.  If I can be of any further assistance in this matter, please contact me at ###-###-####.
 
 
Sincerely yours,
 
[redacted]

Dear Ms. [redacted]:  
 
I write in response to the inquiry registered with your office by consumer [redacted]. We genuinely regret the inconvenience that Ms. [redacted] experienced regarding her magazine subscriptions, and have attempted to resolve her concerns.
 
When a customer indicates they want to cancel, we do attempt to “save” the customer by offering the opportunity to cancel their current subscription and start a new one at a greatly reduced rate. If the customer does not wish to accept this offer, they are free to decline it and cancel their subscription – as Ms. [redacted] did. While we regret Ms. [redacted] was not satisfied with our automated customer service system, we reject her assertion that offering a low-priced subscription in an attempt to save a customer is unethical.
 
If I can be of any further assistance in this matter, please contact me at [redacted]
 
Sincerely yours,
 
[redacted]
