:lol: I just received an offer to renew today. The offer was good until 12/9/08. What in the world is going on here? Of course I am not renewing.

For the last three years, I paid $24.95 for my online subscription. I just received my renewal notice and they want to charge me $34.95. I don't think so.

Seems like there are a lot of different sub prices out there. I paid $26.95 last fall for website renewal. So far, it's still worth it for me, and less than the cost of a bad restaurant meal.

Evedently I'm a "prefered customer" :) I got an e-mail offering a one yr. sub for $29.95. It did not say what the regular cost was. Then yesterday I got a phone call again I am a "prefered customer" (I'm feeling so special) haucking a companion book and I would get a copy of soups and stews. When I said I had soups and stews I was told that this was a little paper magazine style issue. I tell them I'm not interested in another mag with recipes I already have. I grilled him about whether I would be put on that auto ship thing again and he said yes I would. I quickly said good bye it took a year to get them to stop sending cookbooks at will. They are getting more aggresive that's for sure.

Hmmm.....I must not be 'preferred'. I never got a renewal offer. They just shut me off when my subscription ran out. I don't understand this - I've auto renewed for several years. Looks like they made the decision for me!

All,

Sounds like CI is still having fulfillment issues. This seems to be a chronic problem with them; BCP exercises very poor choices of vendor in general (website company, etc.) and then sticks with the vendor despite obvious screw-ups.

I think it just shows Chris's lack of attention to the details of business. If the big boss doesn't care, why should anyone else?

I got a letter this week offering CI for $19.95. That's the cheapest offer I've recieved so far. I think Fuzzy is right.

Haven't renewed for a couple of years now, and while I miss the fun of getting the new mag and reading it, I can get access to the recipes I want by visiting the library and copying them. Or picking up a given issue because it sounds interesting.
I hadn't reliably made at least one dish from every issue for quite a while.
