You write "We will apply your payment to your credit card we have on file unless you notify us of a change in payment method or subscription status." AFAIK it's actually illegal to store credit card information unless you are a credit card company yourself.

>>>Like most of you, I've been receiving FoxTalk 2.0 renewal offers on a daily basis, which go straight into the garbage can. Today's renewal has a new twist:
>>>
>>>"The great news is that we will automatically renew you unless you notify us otherwise!"

>>>My subscription doesn't expire until April 2007, but they will "conveniently" renew it for me on 9/29/06 if I don't tell them otherwise. So, now I have to opt out of a magazine subscription? What a load. First, flood your customers with renewal "offers" to the point where they don't even look at them, then slip in an automatic renewal notice. I smell a lawsuit.

>>>What a shame, this used to be my favorite magazine. Anyway, be sure to check those notices before you throw them away!
