This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

We decided not renew our subscription to Readers Digest and told them so. Of course they ignored this request and charged our credit card $32.98. When we complained about this they returned $21.98 to the credit card keeping $10.99 we complained about this oversight they ignored us again. They haven't returned any emails or money.What right do these crooks have to steal from us? I know this isn't much money, but why should we give it away to a rich company for nothing? We sure don't owe them this money!

IMy wife received a package from Readers Digest with a FREE word on it, no indications of any bill .We received the next week a bill saying we should pay $31.22 for what we recived, (The bill doesn not indicate for what item, just a bunch of letters and numbers)and that we should pay within two seeks.No number to be called.If we received any other letter from them, we will contact the better business bureau.

I, too, saw on my internet site that I am being billed $39.00 for a gardening book that I, apparently, signed up for while entering a contest. There are no forms to fill out to refuse this before it is billed to me. I want to cancel it NOW. How do I go about canceling this as soon as possible? beigereese1@yahoo.com

To whom it may concern: I didnot order the books you sent I have not open the package. I am not working and I don't have money to send these books back. Is there any way possible you can send me labels to send these books back to you?

I, as so many others who were sent a notice for a web site for readers digest contest are not able to locate site. Readers Digest has been known for it's many contests if they are all a scam such as this one, maybe we all need to decide if we really want to be a subscriber to this publication.

My name is Chelsea. I work for Reader’s Digest in Customer Care and I just came across your post.
I am sorry that you were unable to find the contest. If you are using Google or another search engine, it is possible that you will not find it. When you have a web address (URL), all you need to do is type it into the address bar.
I hope you will try again.
Chelsea
