Non Receipt of Free surprise Gifts

Dear All,

PLease note that Readres Digest is fooling the customers by assuring 3 surprise gifts.

But till date after taking subscription in June 2009 i have not received any Gifts.

Subsription-RD[protected]

Moreover you get foolish answers when you call customer care-[protected].
This Company should be totally banned in India.

Price escalation

I have purchased Readers Digest subscriptions for family and friends for the last few years, and now the price has been drastically increased. I'm sorry but the Readers Digest has just lost a ton of respect in my eyes, and slipped down with the other scheisters in the world. Is this what they call the "bait & switch" program?!!!
Then you pull this phony "3 FREE GIFTS" thing. You have just reached a new...

Issues not received on time

I haven't received most of the issues on time. I have complained enough to the company's email address with a series of mails running back and forth between me and the company. I was pained with the bureaucratic method of working where initially either of the email addresses (subscription.[protected]@intoday.com / '[protected]@rdasia.co.in' / [protected]@intoday.com) were not holding accountability for the delay.
