Rec’d HGTV magazine in mail. I DID NOT ORDER!

AI Highlights
  • HGTV wouldn't accept my registered email.
  • I was billed for a canceled HGTV magazine.
  • The call center closed; I was told to call back.

IFirst HGTV wouldnt except my registered e-mail. After 3-4 times trying I figured I must have the wrong password.

Tried to get a new password 2 times without any results. Only after trying 3-4 times to get contact someone to to speak to cancel the HGTV magazine subscription they are trying to charge me for (after cancelling the bill 2 weeks ago, they still sent the magazine.) by the time I finely get a # to talk to someone, guess what? Office closed, call back tomorrow! What the *** is going on.

They make it very hard for you to speak to customer service. I hope more people complain about this!!

User's recommendation: If you’ ve been treated in this same way, post it online so people wil see this very negative action!!

Follow-up on charge.

AI Highlights
  • I was told I was on auto renewal, though I am not a subscriber.
  • Hearst cancelled HGTV; refund coming with a promise it won't happen again.

I was finally able to talk with someone. I was told I was on auto renewal.

Mentioned I was not a subscriber so how could I be on auto renewal, that it came with another magazine. Hearst magazines cancelled HGTV and refund coming with a promise that it wont happen again.

User's recommendation: Watch you credit card charges…

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • Delivery is unreliable and magazines rarely arrive after payment.
  • The magazine now prints six issues per year (Jan/Feb, Mar/Apr, May/Jun).
Updated by user Sep 21, 2024

I haven’t gotten any more deliveries of the issues I have paid for.

Original review Aug 22, 2024

I paid to have the magazine delivered to my mailbox, but it rarely arrives. They took my money but can't seem to send the magazine to me! Also, the magazine is printed six months a year now because they combine months, for example: Jan/Feb issue, Mar/Apr, May/Jun etc.

Pros:
  • Beautiful photes
Cons:
  • Magazine has gone from 12 issues per year to 6

Preferred solution: I would like the magazine to function properly and deliver to their customer whjo subscribe.

User's recommendation: Don't subscribe!

I am just trying to cancel a change they did automatically without asking me if I wanted to renew.

I was just informed that a charge is being posted to my credit card for $39.97 for the HGTV Magazine. I don't want the magazine anymore and they did not ask me if I did.

Please cancel this charge and do not send any more magazines. I am overflowing with magazines that I don't even get a chance to look at.

Anybody want any old magazines. I've got lots and they are going in the trash.

Preferred solution: I Just want to cancel the magazine and not pay for it any more.
