So Im entering contests like always and then I get this email from Teen Vogue Thanking me for my subscription and saying I will be billed $9.97 for 12 issues. WHAT THE HECK??? I know on these magazine contests they sneak that little option in where you can subscribe or hit No. I know for a fact I hit No! I always do! And besides thats not even the same deal!

Well guess who will be getting a lovely little letter from Mini and a big fat heck no written on the invoice! And NO MORE contest doing for Teen Vogue!!

I did that recently. I still don't know how I did it as I always check for it. I just emailed them after I got an email saying I subscribed and told them I was doing a freebie and didn't want it. They cancelled it for me.

Good House Keeping did that to me. I got the first issue and ignored it. They wanted my CC number so they could bill me. They finally called me and I told them well I entered a contest and the next thing I know I was subscribed to their magazine. They said, Oh, ok we will take care of it.

So do not give them your CC number and if they keep sending you their mag just keep it. I figure it's a gift when they do those crazy things.

Yeah, it has happened to me too. With Taste of Home. They sent a soup cookbook, I forget what they charged me. But I was like WTH?

I hate when companies are sneaky.

TV Guide did that to me once. They kept sending bills and I finally wrote on the envie "asked for free trial, not a subscription" and sent it back. Never heard from them again.
