I Hate Magazine Subscriptions


Last year after we got back from Vegoose I got an email saying that they subscribed me for a complimentary 2 year subscription to Spin. Today I get this, a notice that it’s time to pay because it expires in about a week:

There needs to be some class action suit put in place since this always happens.  Just when you think you paid for a year, they tell you you need to pay again and cut the price down 80%.  My favorite part of this is at the end what my buddy Matt Bramble tells me

P.S. I know how easy it is to put a renewal notice aside to do it “later”, but honestly, this is later!!

First of all Matt, anyone who uses two exclamation points in a sentence should be shot.  That’s a good start.  Second, where did you get September 11th as my cut-off date?  I wasn’t even offered Spin for at least 2weeks AFTER holloween last year, you jipped me two full months bro. Matt, my man, as a business man trying to mess with me, you may know how easy it is for me to put off paying a bill I technically don’t owe, however as a programmer, I know how easy it is to keep a database of information relevant just the same. Maybe I should send a check to Matt dated Sept 11, 2009 and ask him what happend to 1/6th of the year?
