ValueMags will never automatically renew your magazine subscriptions.
When you sign up for a free magazine subscription at ValueMags that's exactly what you get. You will receive uninterrupted service during the term of your subscription. When your magazine is about to expire you may receive renewal solicitations directly from the magazine's publisher.
The choice to renew is yours.
Read the fine print:
Beware of other magazine subscription sites that offer "auto renewal" or "continuous service" subscriptions. This means that your credit card will be automatically charged every time the magazine is about to expire... until you call to cancel.
Some websites will spin continuous service as an "Exclusive Benefit". It's sometimes called "Premium Uninterrupted Service", or "Uninterrupted Subscription Service". No matter what it's called, your credit card will be charged the "prevailing rate" each time your magazine subscription expires. If you let this happen, you could miss out on a better price from the magazine's publisher or somewhere else online.
Since 1999, ValueMags has never had a customer request to have their magazine subscription automatically renewed. We feel that it's best to leave this renewal decision in the hands of the customer. Our customers will have the chance to always get the best price and service, guaranteed. No pressure, and no tricks!

Once you've placed an order, it takes approximately one to two weeks for your
subscription to be received and scheduled by the publisher. Your subscription is
then added to the publisher's next production cycle and shipped via standard mail.
For example, if your monthly magazine subscription was ordered and received by the publisher
in July, and the August issue has already shipped, your order may be added to the
September mailing.
Publishers ask that you allow 4 to 6 weeks (weekly magazines) and 6 to 10 weeks
(monthly magazines) for delivery to start. Other less frequently published magazines
may take longer to arrive. If you have not received your subscription within the
expected time frame, please send us an email and we'll track it down. Keep in mind,
your subscription starts when you receive your first issue -- not when you place your
orders. If you subscribed for 12 issues in one year, you will receive all 12 issues.
2. Can I renew my magazine(s) with ValueMags?
Yes! Just go ahead and put the magazine you want in your shopping cart.
Notice the column called "renewal"? Change the 'No' to 'Yes' -- and when you
check out make sure your shipping address is the same as it appears on the
label of your current magazine. We'll take care of the rest!
3. How do I send magazines to more than one address?
On the checkout confirmation page, click the link to "Add New Ship To Address".
Enter the shipping address and click "Proceed to Checkout". Click the drop down
menu in the 'Ship To' column and choose the right address. Rinse and repeat...
4. How do I send a Gift magazine subscription?
ValueMags will send a Free post card announcing your gift subscription!
When you reach the order confirmation page, click "Add" next to each magazine
and enter a personal message to be included on the gift card. A Free Gift Card
will be sent to each recipient.
5. Is ordering online safe?
When you order a magazine online at ValueMags no one will have access to the information
you provide. We use SSL technology which encrypts your order to prevent
anyone else from reading it as the information travels from your computer to ours.
9. How do I change my address?
You can change your address by submitting a support request via our online form. Please include your current address and your new address in the body of the message.
10. Will you "automatically renew" my subscription?
No. ValueMags will never automatically renew your magazine subscriptions.
Be careful of other magazine subscription sites that offer "continuous
service" subscriptions. ValueMags will simply send you an email and give
you the option to renew your magazine subscription. No pressure, and No tricks!

This is a magazine that is serious about cooking and the products involved. It offers the best research in both of these areas, a combination not found in food magazines. The back covers are nice for framing. Referrals to Vermont are interesting and so on target one can almost smell the maple syrup! I love this publication!
My cooking and baking are praised as gourmet: I am an avid recipe and kitchen craft researcher, innovator and tester. I've made many exciting foods from the recipes in Cook's Illustrated. My complaint is that with a subscription web access to search recipes should be a basic feature. It seems tight-fisted of Cook's Illustrated to withhold that service. I have to do my daily recipe searches with another website.
Every recipe is tested in the "test kitchen". I buy this as a gift for friends that like to cook and I've been collecting them for years. I highly recommend Cook's Illustrated if you enjoy cooking.
Cooks Illustrated is my favorite cooking magazine, by far. Cooks is a mix between the demystification of Popular Mechanics and the culinary common sense of Fannie Farmer or Julia Child. If you haven't seen it yet and you like to cook, do yourself a favor and pick up a copy. The only downside is that it's a bit expensive. Their online subscription is also terrific but you should subscribe so you can get their beautifully produced and illustrated magazines (I've got four years' worth in my kitchen).
