Theres an ignore function. First time I've used it on here, but someone up at half 3 on a Saturday night playing internet polis warrants it.

Cheers for the OP me dear, good time of year for the old radio times, just as I'm hibernating.

£5.25 if you go through Topcashback.
Profit and free TV guide.

If you have had it before so many times, they won't let you have it, even after they had set up a direct debit on my account they stopped the order. Did not even tell me. They are useless.

£5.25 if you go through Topcashback.
Profit and free TV guide.

Do you cancel direct debit straight after first one goes out?

Ok thanks will do that. Do they stop sending it once you've cancelled dd?

Nope, the issues keep on coming until number 12.

Brill, Thankyou

Cheers op... ordered Ta.

Thanks

Thanks :smiley:

Listed last month

thanks op ordered

awesome. with £5 cashback 'tracked' with quidco!!!!bargain

will this include this month's with the netflix code?

Good to keep up with who is going to be on Babestation

​shame, thanks. Might give it a try anyway

Voted hot but really do not believe in fraud advice

good deal

did this for the last 3 years. 1st year got it no problem. last year they set up the direct debits but we got no books. this year I signed up 2 weeks ago and again nothing. waste of time in my opinion if you've had it before but good if it's your first subscription

Thank God for changing the description

What break? That you advocate fraud & now its been deleted?

No. I wont give it a break. A deal is a deal not fraud which you advised.

Please. Just stop. There are countless posts on here where people suggest adding 'a' to house numbers to benefit from a second trial or offer.

No there isnt.

People advise setting up new accounts. They dont advise people to lie about their names!

Yes, there is. Only a couple of weeks ago I was browsing the Sky TV thread and it was advised to add an 'a' to the address to benefit from new customer offers. I refuse to seek out the hundreds of other trial/offer threads where this has been advised.

I have not advised anyone to lie about their name. Anyone is free to register with eg: J Smith, Smith J, J Smithy, Johnny Smith, Jon Smith, Mr J Smith.

In addition, regardless what name the buyer chooses to register with - the valid direct debit card would require the name as stated on the account.

No fraud is being endorsed here so please climb down from the moral mountain.

You advised people to change their name by adding a "t" into their names in this instance.

Please stop. You were wrong & advocated fraud by changing their own surname to gain services that they would not be entitled to.

I like your deal & voted hot but dont indicate to people that they would get what they are not entitled to by committing fraud.

If you have a problem with other "deals" then report them.

Heat added. Ordered mine, thanks OP x

Oh. & dont be going through my history of posts trying to track something down because that is beyond normal.

Just regarding the other point made, my next door neighbour as added an 'a' to their house so they can have 2 lots of refuse bins. Live and let live, life's too short x

It's 3am in the morning, do you have nothing more interesting to pursue? People are free to register online accounts in their name of choice. No advice was suggested to add a 't'. If I prefer to be called John Smithy instead of John Smith then I'm free to have the RadioTimes delivered to my house in the name of John Smithy.

No fraud is being committed whatsoever as the bank account details are included as per the account.

Now please go and sit back and pour yourself a nice drink, maybe stick on some music.

Nope. You advocated fraud by people just spelling their names different to get services they might not be entitled to. Fraud is fraud. Now as your post has been amended I suggest you move on.

Thank you! Seemed to work for me

great deal.. thanks

I've just signed up again. It's just not Christmas without the radio times! :smiley:

Dude, go to bed. You've been trolling for hours.

Thanks for the post. Got the subscription for £1 and also got £5.25 cash back from TCB!

lol

Nice. Do you know what a troll is? & do you think this site should allow people to publish ways to defraud & what do you think HUKDs liability would be should they remain published? Grow up please.

Theres an ignore function. First time I've used it on here, but someone up at half 3 on a Saturday night playing internet polis warrants it.

Cheers for the OP me dear, good time of year for the old radio times, just as I'm hibernating.

Thanks :smile: went through topcashback!

thank you, bought as a gift via TCB

Voted hot for the deal and comments :confused:

Do I just cancel the direct debit after the first issue or do I need to inform them too?

answered above.

Just cancel the direct debit.

I will also email them out of courtesy too however

This has happened to me aswell. Last order was a while ago though so fingers crossed

Agreed.
Added that troll to my ignore list also. First time I've had to use it.
Sad

Do I just cancel the direct debit after the first issue or do I need to inform them too?

or just do this :
http://www.hotukdeals.com/freebies/radio-times-other-magazines-for-free-for-ever-2541143

I didn't know they do On-Demand TV now. That could be pretty useful.

Edit: I should emphasise that cancelling Direct Debit at your end is not sufficient. It will probably work, but is not the way DD is supposed to work and they are entitled to continue billing regardless. Direct Debit is the payment method, it is not the contract.

Calm down dear.

I've seen numerous deals which benefit HUKD'ers in exactly the manner you describe. I haven't seen the Mods close many down or delete comments. I'd suggest that they probably jump on the bandwagon too.

You make your own choices on here. If you wish to sit on a pedestal and adopt the moral high ground then I have the utmost respect for you.

Meanwhile, I'm away to create a new account to benefit from this deal. For the fourth year running. Might do it in one of the dogs names this year. Aren't I naughty?

:confused:

It keeps adding x3 to my copies I stepped back and only 1 ordered?! Ipad

the website is incredibly slow

Thanks OP

Thank you OP

Perhaps that's what happened to me. They confirmed the order, set up the DD, but then nothing. Order still shows on their system, but the subscription isn't showing. Like you say, would be helpful if they let us know. A simple "sorry, you are not eligible" would be something at least.

They do this frequently where there's a history of previous cancellations. The direct debit's set up and drawn on, one copy arrives, then it all stops. You can ask for your pound back, but that's as far as you can take it.

Thank you OP , we normally buy one of the newspapers over the Christmas period that has the "free" extended festive tv guide, but to be honest the last couple of years these have been worse than useless and barely cover the week between Christmas and New Year. Would have happily paid £1 for the Christmas issue, but will now be £4 in credit for taking all 12, topcashback I do love you :wink:

12 issues £1 wow and £4 profit

Anyones top cash back tracked?

Thanks great deal!

Great offer at £1 for 12 weeks for those who like Radio Times or just want the Christmas issue. Personally I will get TV Choice which I get every week. Much better than the Radio Times even at 52p per week.

So its £12.00 less TCB £5.25 so 57p a copy instead of £2.30
I think the Xmas edition was £3.20 in Dec 2015

So £6.75 verses £28.50 or 322% more for "normal price" this deal should be 1000º

Still waiting for mine to track at the moment!

Quidco tracked almost straight away for me

If the speed of their website is anything to go by you may wait 6 hours before its confirmed.

Your right there,took ages to get to the radio times subscription page,now waiting after I changed the region to north west..........still waiting......still waiting..........zzzzzzz

Yup try clicking the area again as I was getting that, even though it is grey sometimes it lets you select it and the buy now appears. I have just went through all the pages and got to the pay arena and then received a server 400 error, GGGrrrrrrr

Thank you, they are slower these days! It's still a great offer for the £1 even without the cashback :smiley:

Yep just done that to me!

i've downloaded movies on a 56k modem faster than this site loads a page!

This isn't true, cancelling the DD is all you have to do with most if not all magazine subscriptions.

Says 12 issues for £1. That is all 12 issues, Not £1 each.

Yeah - Christmas 2017!! :smiley:

I give up. page times out with server errors every time I try and go and pay. how long is this offer on for? maybe ill try in the early hours tonight when hopefully the site wont be so congested.

page wont load

Unfortunately, this is going to mean cancellations by Buysubscriptions - whenever their systems pick up large numbers coming through after a HUKD post they smell a very large rat because they know there'll be a high percentage of cancellations, and they just refuse to honour the deal after a few days.

You might stand a slightly better chance by going through a different link and a different browser with cleared cookies, but even that might not work whilst they're 'on alert' for applications they really don't want or need.

Oh thanks I miss read wow as was wondering why everyone mentioning a profit!

Got Order Confirmation Email - Finally!! :smiley:

i give yup, entered my bank details just to be hit with a Runtime error. good luck if you get it.

I'll post on this thread if I actually receive a copy! Wish me luck!!

Think site is down now

website is a joke, absolutely useless. gave up in the end!

Think we've crashed the site. Haha

voted hot but ive never known a slower site than @buy subscriptions, could of nipped to the papershop quicker ha

Just tried to process but the website was crashing. Must try again later

Further to my moaning above about them not letting me have another subscription, my £5.10 Top Cashback is now payable, so £5.10 for nothing, thanks Radio Times.

I can get through eventually to the order page, but when I selected the Radio Times for the South West region, I get a grey screen - did you get this?

That's what I've got and it's not moving!!

Mine has now moved, no longer grey (accepted the subscription for the South West), and I have just clicked on 'Buy Now' - still loading that though - I think the site is just extremely slow. I'll let you know if mine goes through later.

mine said system error after entering direct debit details but I've had a confirmation email

Now it is trying to give me 5 issues for £5 (when I fill in my address details) even though on the page it shows a picture for 12 issues for £1?

yes, that screen eventually clears but ive given up for the time being, might try again but quidco reviews are slating the site

Mine's finally gone through - it takes ages so major patience is required! Only click on 'buy now' once otherwise it will add multiple to your order.

This deal has not expired - I have just completed it through Quidco - I did try with Topcashback but was having major issues going through them. I have managed to set up the direct debit for 12 weeks (South West Radio Times), however, it took a LONG time to go through.

Thank you very much.

​Surely just after the last issue is delivered, this will give you a week to cancel your DD...

has this been taken off quidco?

Nope, http://www.quidco.com/buysubscriptions-com

Painfully slow, takes about 3 minutes to go through stage loading website. Not expired

I have done this a few times, but always let the subscription run for at least a year or two after getting the 12 issues for £1 as it is only fair.

In fact I didn't think they would set up another direct debit for me when I applied a few weeks ago, but they did.

Same thing happened to me earlier this year. Only indication I wasn't going to get the RT was that it didn't arrive on the promised start date!
Emailing them to ask where it was and only THEN did they said I was denied the offer as used before.
No statement available as to what counts as too often/recently either = useless as you say!

So if you have had the offer some time(s) before & or/recently then don't expect an accepted order to actually mean it gets delivered!

Otherwise if you are a new subscriber it's a genuine bargain & I always found it easy to cancel to ensure dont continue into full price sub. And if you're a "newish" subscriber, good luck with getting a fresh trial, just don't be surprised if it's frustrated WITHOUT TELLING YOU!

Cool thanks - just done

Mine just has done, after buying this morning - so about a 10-hour delay.

somebody tell me why the hell it's worth giving my bank details to Radio Times just to get £4.25 profit & 12 free copies of the mag

surely this is a scam

If it says that you get all 12 issues for £1, then why do you have to cancel the direct debit?

Thanks OP.

Currently trying to get this but the website is being painfully slow...been 20 minutes and got as far as putting my email address in...could be here all night I reckon!

Does anyone know what date the XMAS Special is going to be? Buying the subscription as a gift and want to make sure they recipient gets this edition of the magazine.

You get 12 issues, which continues well into early Jan 2017. You can guarantee this issue will be received, especially as it's stated in the description during checkout.

As mentioned on the site and during checkout, after the 12 issues for £1 you will be charged full price for the continued annual subscription. If you don't cancel, you'll pay this.

Hey,John Smith is my name!! :confused:

Yep, but you can choose the start date and Eden0032 may be considering deferring this so that it starts from the Christmas issue (as I've done).

Going on the date last year (5 December), I'm guessing that it'll be 6 December this year; 29 November seems too early.

At the end of the 12 weeks, it automatically rolls over into a standard subscription if not cancelled.

Yes, you are correct in that I wish to defer the subscription until the XMAS issue as it is a gift. Thank you - I will start from 6th December :smile:

You're welcome. :smiley: As I say, I'm guessing to some extent, so you could bring it forward by a week if you want more certainty - but here's confirmation of last year's date for reference: http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2015-11-26/when-does-the-radio-times-christmas-issue-go-on-sale

A scam? Why? You're buying a magazine subscription, it's a pretty standard new subscriber offer, and they need your bank details to set up a direct debit.

Thank you. Don't suppose you know how to cancel (without creating an account)?

https://www.buysubscriptions.com/our-services/FAQs

Cancel their customer services, apparently (and cancel your direct debit with your bank, to be certain): https://www.buysubscriptions.com/our-services/FAQs

sucker! :smiley:

Talk about patience after about 20mins site worked placed my order for 12 issues £1 so dont give up thankyou for tip :smiley:

TCB has just tracked for me too. Sweet deal OP

TCB also now tracking

thanks for posting - site was very slow but order went through :smiley:

Garbage. Failed at the final screen.

Try again? As you'll see from the posts above, it *is* going through for others, but as you've found, the site's responsiveness is suffering

I've just had this as well - taken me all of an hour waiting for the site to process each part and get "site can't be reached" right at the final bloody hurdle.

I might try again tomorrow morning when the interest may hopefully have died down. Not worth this much hassle for a quid though.

wow cant believe how poor that website is. no chance im putting card details into that.

Just keeps failing. Probably because everyone is signing up!

Website keeps failing:
"System Error
Sorry there was a problem loading the page. Return to home page"

Thanks, £1 subscription and £5 Quidco tracked succesfully.

Great find, ordered and £5 on quidco:)

Surely Quidco cashback is £1 as item costs less than £1.01.

Thanks for the post - voted hot !

Yeah - the sort of sucker who values the only intelligent and comprehensive Radio/TV mag on the market, which currently costs £2.30 a week in a newsagent, and pays £1.30 a week for it on subscription. Quite apart from the first 12 (worth £27.60) costing just £1. :stuck_out_tongue:

Tracks at £5.00.

Wow, £4 profit.. you'd be silly not to snatch up this deal.. hot

Has anyone else had to wait for a confirmation email please? I saw an order number but haven't received an email.

I got confirmation from TCB

I did this last month when it was first posted, got £5.25 from TCB which I actually withdrew last night.

I did the same deal for the last two years and last year it tracked at £1.05 (through TCB) because it was a £1 subscription. No idea why it didn't this year.

After receiving a slim bin recently then that's a good thought...

​Thats cos so many people are taking up this deal. It popularity on top cash back is higg.

Open the first couple but not read them. After the third of fourth you'll be just slinging them in the bin, still in the plastic wrapper.

...and what could you spend the £4.00 free cash on?

I ordered this about 5.30pm yesterday evening and had a confirmation email almost straight away. I've just checked my TCB account and it shows as £5.25 pending... So far so good - Thanks OP :smiley: HOT from me.

Ive taken out their offers for someone as a gift a few times including the £1 one before. However I tend to let the subscription run for at least 6 months as it's cheaper than them buying RT at the shops. Also I think that if everyone takes up the £1 offer and they lose too much money that they will increase the prices or stop the offers. It's a great deal for those who usually buy it anyway. Once the latest 6 months runs out, I'll be looking for the next one. Saves me searching for a Xmas present this year :smiley:

Much easier to buy this morning - access to the site restored, offer still available, Quidco still tracking, purchase made!!

;)I to managed to access the site this morning. My Quidco cashback has tracked too! Will wait to see if it comes off! Thanks OP:D

just got on the site fine as well and placed the order, so we'll wait and see. certainly worth a punt for a quid.

I have signed up for a Quidco account but have never used it before, what do you have to do to get the £5 cashback

Signed up

Not a sausage. If you find the offer on quidco and click "get cashback" it'll open a link to the site where you can sign up.

It'll then use the cookies it leaves on your PC to ensure it "tracks" which will mean you'll get the cashback, but bear in mind the cashback won't pay out for many weeks.

Thanks must remember to cancel. Do I cancel by phone?

Online, company email and bank online.

Thank you! :innocent:

Haven't received confirmation email yet (been over 24 hours). Should I be concerned?

Not really - they can take a few days. And even after sending it, they'll still sometimes cancel if you have a 'history' with them.

Never ordered from them before! fingers crossed it arrives soon :smiley:

Thanks

When can you cancel the DD? if I cancel after 1st issue delivered, will I still get the rest?

I wouldn't. I usually wait till there's only a couple left due.

Just in time for Christmas programmes. Thanks Op. Heat added.

Ive done this about 3/4 times before (with different companies though!) over the years. Each time I've cancelled the DD about a week after the initial £1 sub has been taken from my account, and once I've received at least the first copy. Everytime I've done this I've received all 12 issues without a problem. I'll do the same this time and keep my fingers crossed it still works as I've not subscribed with this company before - HTH's :smiley:

TCB tracked and I've just checked my Current Account online and the Direct Debit has been set up! :smiley:

Heat added . Quidco only showing £1 cashback. Presumably they have changed their cashback rates due to popularity of the deal.

rules for quidco and TCB seem to be different for this deal.

Thank you OP - ordered!

Quidco should match TCB if you put in a claim quickly.

Tracked for me on Quidco for five pounds on 8th November.
Thanks OP ... love the Christmas/New Year edition of the Radio Times ... appreciated <3

Still not had confirmation email, and it's been what seems like ages! Any advice about what I should do? Don't think they've taken payment yet either (but I did start the subscription from december)

check your online bank a/c to see if the direct debit has been set up

or take out another one using your mum's details & a different email address

I didn't get a confirmation email either. That said I logged in to the account I created when I set up the subscription and they've set the direct debit up! I will cancel the DD once the £1 has been taken out.

Thanks for the post I usually do everything digital but with the £5 Quidco too...couldn't resist.

Thanks for the reminder!

I got the initial order confirmation email but not received anything else. Not sure if this is normal for buy subscriptions/radio times but I know in the past when I have ordered from other companies like imagine and future there is usually an initial confirmation then a later welcome one just before you start receiving them.

Really hope it's gone through right, when should the first issue be for this if it's worked?

15th Nov - first issue I believe.

Did it just now and it said 22nd November for me

I did my order on 6th November and I got the order confirmation email, however, just looked at my bank account and they have not set up a direct debit yet - I thought that the first issue was being delivered for next week?

TCB tracked but no confirmation email
Let's see if I get this.

Nothing was showing in my bank and I couldn't access the account that I thought I'd created.

Got this back after I emailed:


I can confirm your order has been processed with the subscriber number above.

It usually takes several weeks for a direct debit mandate to be arranged. The first collection of £1 is due to be taken on the 26th November 2016.

The first issue is due on the 15th November 2016.

My records confirm you do not seem to have an account registered to http://www.buysubscriptions.com so you may use the information provided to register your subscription and you can manage it online at your leisure.

Received a Welcome to Radio Times email today. Anyone else?

No email other than the original confirmation, but £5 tracked in quidco.

I recieved a letter in the post confirming the subscription.Thats my pound spent already!

I did the subscription on 6th November and got a confirmation email through. However, as of today, no direct debit has been set up and I have not received the first issue (was due 14/11/16, I think). I called the helpline number today and a man that I spoke to there, said that there was no record of me having taken out a subscription - even though he could see it on my account page when he logged in. He asked me to forward my confirmation email (which had my order number and details on it) through to him and said that he would look into it - that was this morning, and I have heard nothing since.

Did you or anyone in your house have a previous subscription?

​With these guys there's a world of difference between the acknowledgement, which gets sent out pretty quickly, and the confirmation, which comes rather later. I suspect what you had was the former. Quite often, for various reasons, they never actually fulfil the order.

No, I've lived here for nearly 17 years and have never had a subscription to them for the Radio Times.

You should be fine then. Somethings take time

got letter to confirm direct debit yesterday and magazine arrived this morning issue for 19-25 November

Nothing received in the post today, no further emails after the initial acknowledgement and nothing taken out my bank either :disappointed:

Looks like my order has gone missing too. I have sent them a message requesting a update on what is happening.

Seems odd to have a company that actually doesn't seem to want to process my order though at this price perhaps I can see why....

Same boat for me - have sent them an email see what they say

Received first copy today!

Yesterday, I emailed again the man that I spoke to the other day. He replied to say that he had received my order acknowledgement email that I sent through to him the other day. Apparently, he has sent it on to the relevant department - I don't actually think that I'm going to hear any more about this unless I keep contacting them. I've noticed that the offer for £1 is still being advertised on their website as well - perhaps I should do it again?

still waiting for anything since the initial email on the 7th november, emails are returning, Facebook doesn't look like its refreshed very often.... pretty poor company the BBC have employed to look after their titles.

Not received my 1st copy yet...or any sort of contact from them whatsoever since the initial order confirmation email...

Received my first copy yesterday. Happy Days! :smiley:

Haven't received my first copy. Only email I've had is the order confirmation email. Not getting a reply from customer support.

I was in the same boat and did get a reply. they said everything was ok and that my first issue is actually 22nd Nov and Not the 15th as some have quoted on here. Wondering if those of us who ordered a bit later have been pushed back an issue to the 22nd...

Up to their usual tricks again by the looks of it. These deals are great if they honour them, but frequently they don't, and then they claim not to have received the application.

After not receiving the welcome to the radio times email and letter I emailed them using the contact us link yesterday afternoon. Got a reply this evening confirming that the order had gone through and actually got the subscription number to add to my account. Still haven't received my copy yet so looks like it may be lost :disappointed:

I haven't had much luck calling directly and emailing the man that I spoke to (he wanted me to send him on my confirmation email - which I did). So, I have just done what you suggested - used the 'contact us' form - hopefully, I will hear back from them shortly. Thank you.

same here, had confirmation but nothing else. its my first time subscribing with them. awaiting an answer now

Yeah I'm in the same boat as others. Got the initial email, thought it was to start 15th November but no sign of the magazine. Maybe they're putting it back to 22nd November as you say.

I had another reply via email this morning. According to them everything was setup to start from the 15th as I requested but the radio times never appeared through the letterbox. They have labelled this weeks edition as missing in transit and have extended my subscription by one week. A replacement copy was offered but may take up to 5 working days to arrive.

Ah, so it's not just me then... also not received anything yet :disappointed:

I got sent through an email today (after emailing them for the 3rd time) saying that my subscription is due to start on 22nd November (I signed up on 6th November). Does anybody know when I should get the first issue if the subscription is due to start on the 22nd? I've checked my bank account and no direct debit has been set up still? Thank you.

This boat is getting pretty full! Still waiting here for a reply or confirmation. I've facebooked them, messaged them, email them. With no response. I've also filled out their online contact us form, with out joy. What email is everyone using?

the emails I have received have come from this address: [email protected]

they are very slow to reply

I filled in the online contact us form and got a reply within 24 hours. I was told that the first issue will be coming out on 22 November.

Thanks. I applied on the 7 /11 and still waiting! I was using a buysubscriptions email ?!

Today then !

Mine has just arrived!!!

Received mine today, Had no confirmation email nor is the DD showing (yet!)

Exactly the same.

I subscribed on 6th November and my first issue has just turned up today. As regards the billing for the issues after the first 12 issues, will they bill me around the 6th November (when I subscribed) or will it be after I have had all of the 12 issues? I just don't want a load of money going out of my account a few weeks before I have received all of the 12 issues. Thank you.

Just had a look at my account subscriptions. It wasn't listed there but I have now added it (got my subscription number off of the plastic bag that contained my RadioTimes). It says that the expiry date is the 14/2/17 (final issue is due that day).

mine has just arrived too :P

I am in exactly the same boat but when I tried to add it it said not found. I have 4 lots of numbers above my name I just used the first lot that started with RT is that right?

Yes, that is what I did.

Ok thanks. Mine is not working. I will have to contact them.

Had an email reply today with regards to my enquiry about the status of my order...



Thank you for contacting Radio Times,

I can confirm we received your order recently after a delay in transfer from the website.

The first issue is due with the issue on sale on the 29th November 2016.

My apologies for any inconvenience caused in this matter, if we can be of any further assistance please do contact us.

Kind Regards

Mark James

Mine arrived today, exactly as they promised. Though I still never got a second email to confirm and still nothing out of my bank though my online banking typically lags 24-48 hours behind so it could actually have come out now.

Great deal, really glad I found it and thanks to the OP!

My first issue arrived this morning- never received any confirmation or dispatch email, not heard a thing since placing the order, and no money has come out of my bank! not the best organisation or customer service but great deal <3

Well I've heard nothing about my subscription......ordered on 7/11 and received confirmation email. My order is shown in the buysubscription account I set up, I completed a form on their contact page to Enquiry about my order - no reply!
No copy has arrived in the post for me this week .....

Same here. No response to emails, FB messages and another email sent yesterday with no reply. I'm amazed the BBC have chosen this company to distribute their magazines.

Haven't received either editions due 15/11 or 22/11. Haven't had any communications from them apart from the initial order confirmation. Quidco is still tracking at five quid. Might email them if the edition for 29/11 doesn't come through, assume what you miss at this end they make up for at the other end of the 12 weeks !
Would be nice to get the Christmas edition. Circling all those tv programmes we never have time to watch is a great tradition in our household !

Yes email them.....I did so and received a reply today stating there had been a problem with my account ( due to a previous subscription) they've now resolved it. Will get December 6th issue and 11 after that! Very happy

What is the format and position of the number on the bag?

The subscription number is directly above your name and address. There are 4 groups of letters/numbers - I only had to enter the first group (mine started RTWS(then 7 numbers)).

I thought that might have been the case but when I tried that combo it failed to recognise on the website. Oh well, maybe try again next week.

Hi I had the same problem after I copy & pasted the ref & then realised there was a space between the letter & number, took it out & hey presto accepted. Noticed mine is RTLA and then 6 numbers. I've put a note in my calendar to remind me to cancel the renewal before the 12th issue.

apparently they had a problem my my direct debit set up (wrong numbers they said!!) why couldn't they email me that three weeks ago? anyway redone so fingers crossed!

When and how do you cancel? A month before or anytime?

my cash back through tcb has cleared already, happy days :sunglasses:

Cancel anytime after they take the £1. Simply cancelling the DD with your bank is sufficient, however an email or message on the contact form is good manners.

Had about 5 issues now, but had a letter this morning saying that the DD had not gone through and that they want me to fill in a form and post it. Shambles!

Anybody had the £1 taken out yet?

Just wondered how long it takes for them to reply to emails, I have cancelled the direct debit but they have not replied to me email asking them to cancel after the 12 issues have been sent.

Don't worry about it. You have done your part, cancelled the DD and informed them, so they can't take further payment even if they send more copies before they realise that the dd is stopped. They don't and will not chase you for any further payments.

I cancelled my DD and emailed them on their contact form about cancelling it. I've just had an email today from them confirming that it will be cancelled after this promotion.

Anybody waiting on the Xmas issue which was due to be delivered 2 days ago, i have just got off the phone to them and they are running late, hopefully will be with everybody by tomorrow, but to wait until the 15th before getting back to them.

I got mine this morning! I'm gonna need a Tea Urn to get through reading it! :smiley:

i have just checked mine as i realised i have not had a radio times and it says my account is suspended!! all i have done is cancel my direct debit so what do i do now?

A few scenarios here:
1.You have cancelled the dd before the 1st payment, then they will suspend the account. Give them a call and say you cancelled by mistake and can you set it up again.
2.You have paid the 1st payment then cancelled. The issues should continue, so they have wrongly suspended the account. Give them a call.
3.They have discovered that you have previously had a £1 trial, they will suspend the account. Nothing you can do.
4.You have not had any issues sent out and the account says suspended. This could be an error on their part. Give them a call.

DON'T FORGET TO CANCEL YOUR DIRECT DEBIT!

I forgot :disappointed:

but I got there in time :smiley: - just cancelled it, the £1 went out nearly a month ago so I was nearly stung

You've not cut it that close - the earliest time that you should be charged again, assuming that you took this out at the time that this thread was posted, should be some time in late January, three months after your subscription started.

Even if anybody does forget, all is not lost, you can still cancel the subscription after the payment is taken and any remaining still to be delivered issues will be refunded in full.
