Reader's Digest Complaints & Reviews

I have received, several mails from readers digest from this email id - [protected]@intoday.com. As it has come from india today group, i believed it. I still do have belief that it is genuine but after going through some of the emails i am a bit worried as i have not got any conformation of my payment. I have kept all the screen capture of collecting money. I request for the communication from your end regarding the collection of money and conformation of our id participation in the draw.

With regards

I subscribed for the reader's digest issue. It has been over two months but I have not received my copy of reader's digest. I paid the full subscription amount.

The lack of customer service from the India reader's digest has made me to file complaint at the consumer complaints to see if my issue can be resolved.

They take 6 days to reply to an email and even after making false promises, they fail to deliver the reader's digest. Is this the kind of customer service one should expect?

I need to know the status of my subscription and also why has it not been send for the past 2 months.

Recently I am receiving mail that I won 15 lakhs as prize. This is really disgusting that publishers like RD are doing it. I am sure it is 100% fake. This is my request that please don't entertain such mails. These are nothing but spam which may affect your emails and other personal belongings.

Thanks to consumer complaint that they are helping to post.

Hi

I had made an annual subscription to Reader's Digest on March 19th 2017. And ever since I have received only 1 copy.
My emails to their customer support ([protected]@intoday.com) does not get any reply or response.
My web reference is RDCAR[protected].
They had even promised some free gifts along with it.
I would like them to either deliver the magazines and the free gift, or reimburse the entire amount of INR 711 back to me.

Thanks,
Sameer

I already registered a complaint against Reader's Digest regarding "the Magazines not received at my address. So proceed for the cancellation of my booking and refund the amount". After that I received a mail regarding the re-consideration of cancellation. But I surely confirmed the cancellation through mail. But till date any refund not credited.

Subscription Number RD[protected], booked on 2 Jan 2017.

So please strictly inform to the Readers Digest that "REFUND ONLY (No anymore email irresponsible reply)"

Please do the needful.

Thanks consumer complaints website.

I made the payment for Reader's Digest subscription on January 17, 2017, however I did not receive any magazine on my given address. I complain to their customer care number[protected] many times but no action was taken. And later on February 4, 2017 I mailed to cancel my order and spoke to customer care also, they said they are transferring the email to email team to cancel the order and my money back, however, I did not get my money back for over the week time. On February 14, 2017 again I called to their customer care and on their advise I wrote again an email about the same and no response of their team has come yet neither the money have been received back till now.
The payment was of a nominal amount but this worried us when that well known brand does not take care of its customers. now I am afraid to make payment in future and never try to subscribe to Readers Digest specifically.

Dear sir

Reader digest making people fools by keep on sending mails like we are going to win prize money if we participate in that draw.
They mention to subscribe their magazine, and say if you subscribe you have more chances to win. I paid 750/- but no response in sweepstakes winner list which was held on jan22nd 2017.
Please take action immidiately.

I have their written comminication with me that, sweepstakes draw will be held on jan22nd 2017 and winner list will be updated in their website after first week of february and also on written requeat.

I kept almost 8mails to enclose winner list but no one has responded. I am one of the customer who paid 750/- only to participate sweepstakes but they are making people fools.

I have all the proof of their comminication till draw date and i dont understand weather reader digest available now or not

Please do nesscesary action on reader digest in making people to believe that they win big prize money.

I have not received a single copy of the readers digest magazine till date. I suscribed online in november"16 and was told the magazine wouldbe delivered in 4-6 weeks. In spite of written compliants and telephone conversations, all I have got is excuses and assurances, but not a single copy so far.
I thought I was dealing with a reputable organisation?????????
Can I hope the matter will be expeditiously addressed or am I to assume I have lost my money to some fly by night operator??

Dear Sir / madam,

This bear reference to the above subscription no. I paid through ICICI credit card and after writting about 5 mails i was obliged by Reader Digest by 2 copies - August and September.I payed Rs. 711 within the letter by Credit Card. But upto till now I had not Received any three gifts of book from there side. PURCHASE DATE - Aug '9 2016.

Thereafter with all false promises from Reader's Digest to streamline the delivery and sorry for the inconvenience again the October issue has not been sent .

I have sent them too many mails and they are also responding to my mails but of no use...They do not have any designated person and everytime i receive mails in response to my complain from a different named person.

I do look forward to your help in this matter.

Thanks/Venkatesh bm

I have taken one year subscription no. RD [protected] and as per their scheme sweeptaker prize was declare. I was eligible to get Surprise Gift of Rs.3499/- . I have followed with them regularly and evertime they have given excuses like Blue Dart Courior is handling and I should contact Blue Dart or they will refer to concerned department etc. Now they have stopped responding. I was sending mail [protected]@intoday.com an at phone no. 0120/2469900/[protected]. They will redirect everytime to some other person. It appears the exercise of Sweeptakers etc is either not proper or fake.
Since it belonged to reputed group of India Today I believed them and wasted my time in following up with them. Please look into the matter.

After subscription, they sent copies if rd for 3 month. After that i didn't receive any copy from the last 3 month. I complained to customer care. They said they had sent the copies, since i didn't get that, they r sending duplicate copies but still i did not get any copy.
I enquired from local post office too. They said they hv not received any such copies

Reader's digest customer ID: RD[protected].
I had received a copy of reader's digest by VPP without subscribing on 1.6.2016.In my absence my office had paid Rs.749 to the postman and collected the reader's digest by VPP. On 2nd June 2016 I had raised a complain with their customer care bearing no. 3841103. They had promised to refund the amount within 4-6 weeks.I have waited patiently for 6 weeks and again contacted them several times by email. Every time I contacted them they would inform it would take 3-4 weeks to process the refund. It is today more than 14 weeks and I have not received any refund. It seems that the company is dragging the matter and unwilling to refund the subscription amount wrongfully collected by sending forcefully by VPP basis without subscribing.Kindly help me to get the refund back.

My subscription valid till Sep 2016 But no books are delivered since Feb 2016

Reader's digest india has gone bankrupt and they make false claims to customers specially made by ashish bagga & team. make sure you cancel the subscription and the office of reader's digest india should be raided by income tax and should be shut down and also staff should be sent home and send ashish bagg to jail for making false claims, fraud, lying cheating. ashish bagga make sure that if the complaints we give are truth then i want rs. 20, 000 crore from rd india. and if not given by you i will make sure that ur sent to jail for next 200 yrs.

This is the second year i have been unable to enter the contest for a new
ipod at readers digest. They sent me to readersdigest.ca/ipodwith no place to enter the access code number.
