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

Viking Magazine Service called to offer me a subscription plan to a few magazines. Generally, I never respond to these types of programs because they often hijack the consumers...For some reason, I deviated from my usual practice and fell for the bait...After several months, I decided that I was not getting maximum use out the subscriptions. I contacted Viking to cancel my subscription. They informed me that I can not cancel the subscription without fear of penalty such as my account with them being put into collection! If I had ordered these publications directly from the publishers, then I would be able to cancel the order...however Viking only allows for a cancellation within the first 14 days...I will be writing the publishers letting them know that associating their brands with this type of behavior is no way to develop reader loyalty.

somehow Viking Magazine Service got me confused with my current Subscriber Services, but has the same information (i.e., the SAME magazines). I am almost finished paying them off; now, I owe more money? They totally confuse people

I've been paying for my subcriptions for 3 months and have yet to my magazines, When I tried to cancel they refuse to let me. I think this company scams people. Oh the gift card I was suppose to get was a major joke. They break it down to different companies and in order to use it at any of the companies you have to pay 3 times more than the amoun
t on the gift card.
