Last week, our household received a renewal form from The New Yorker blithely requesting $59.95 for a one-year renewal. Maybe you got one yourself.
Should you mail it in? Not if you have half a brain.
Anyone can get it for $39.95 through Amazon. Or for the same price (with free T-shirt) from Conde Nast's own website.*
(Albeit the latter adds its own scam via a "with automatic renewal" bait-and-switch tactic.)
What a rip-off!
Why would any company want to treat its best customers, those who already subscribe, so shabbily? You invite them into your home and they want to steal your silverware.
It passeth all understanding. Clearly the strategy is set by professional theives or thimble-brained MBA twits. Care to vote on which is to blame?
I won't talk here about the "doctor's rate" deals, which call for another post by themselves.
