I have be subscribe to this magazine since 1970 . at one point they set I up for automatic renewal , with billing later , without my consent . I have to call and get that cancel . then they send I renewal notice each month begin at least six month before my expiration . these rate be much more than twice the renewal rate I get through Amazon . last year when I call the magazine directly and ask why they would not match this rate since I have be a loyal subscriber since 1970 , they do give I a one time renewal for the Amazon rate , but say it be a one time rate and deny that I could get that rate again unless I be a first time subsriber -lrb- which do offend I -rrb- . then this year it be back to the same renewal process . I go to Amazon this year and renew quickly and simply and just receive my first issue . I will do the same in the future .
