i received a letter as you have a chance to win gifts as per the instructions i sent the letter with positive reply and when will be the draw date...
For about a year and a half i am hearing about the sweepstakes.Is it only a advertising gimmick.even i was cheated out of a free travel bag along with the book.
For about a year and a more I was receiving documents as winner and getting monthly books, the sweepstakes.I was declared supreme winner and I dont find any more documents when I didnot accept books worth more than 500Rs - 1000Rs which is sent as free.Is it only a advertising gimmick.Even i was cheated out of a free travel bag along with the book.

A second subscription was requested to be delivered to our daughter at the following address, is being delivered at the original subscriber, that ids, at my address - thus making it useless. This is to please despatch it to her address s follows:
Gayathri S. Anchan, C-15, Anjana Building, Mahal;axmi Housing Society, Off Veeradesai Road, Andheri(W), Mumbai- 40058.
It is indeed a surprise how this company could repeatedly ignore the request of the subscriber for despatch of the gift subscription top thge to the subscriber himself, in repeat years at least since two years!
Solicit the favour of immediate corrective action with intimation to me via email.

Mr. Vikas Malhotra,
Sweepstakes Director.
I have been a subscriber for the past 4 years (ie., from 2005) in a row, only because the contents in the book are worthwhile reading and also gives good knowledge for elders as well as children.
From the last 4 years, I am getting these types of Certificate of Benefits, flyers etc., telling that you would be eligible for some prize or something if you would purchase some books or CD’s….… even you purchase or not. This looks something like cheating, as people who are in dire needs, though they need the book or not, subscribes and later repent.
Why does Readers Digest do these types of things????? Is it for publicity/fraud or is there some thing real? Readers Digest is supposed to be very authentic, but these types of things somehow dampen the good idea RD has in the minds of people.
As the book is good, people will subscribe automatically. Anyways, as I know the use of the book, I shall renew my subscription from July 2009.
Regards,
P N Pavan
