Reader digest is cheating everyone with the prize letters.
Anyone replying to the prize mails will have to buy books which are useless. The prize letters will have one line mentioned in somewhere in the pile of pages received. Once you reply to any of the letters you will get a gift of some useless object and a book. You will continue to receive these kind of gifts for many months and there will be follow up letter which says you have to pay the due amount. The money will gradually raise and they will respond with harsh followup letters if you don't pay the amount. In the end you will end up paying a huge sum of money over months and you will know that you will never get the lakhs or cars
Never fall for readers digest and I suggest you go for better magazines with good standards.
In my experience Reader digest follows a third rate business tactics which is not even followed by telemarketers.

I was a big fan of the magazine till now.
I have also received unwanted gifts and copies and now 'am asked to pay 699/- for accepting the same which I am not going to.
It seems the company is finding it difficult to survive in the higly competitive market and resorting to such mean strategies. But let me be very clear, this is infact working against the company and loosing the customer base very fast.
Thanks,
