Don't know if anyone has posted this. But rang up earlier today as I placed an order for 6 months subscription only to find out I have been black listed cause I have done to many trials and cancelled. Said I had to take out a full 12 months before they would remove blacklisting
Anyway after a search I found this

I think your missing the point. This is how you get a wireless speaker for a £1 and some paper for: puppy training, paper airplanes, making passing the parcel packages, cut up montages for pupils or students for projects or rolling up and beating your sibling with when they are being a nuisance.

If it's free this mag is too expensive.
I got bought a subscription to it but the writing is dire. And that's when I can actually read it: for reasons I cannot fathom, the publishers insist on using coloured type that often clashes with the background. If I wanted a book of pictures, I wouldn't be 'reading' this, would I?

Most likely you'll have to ring.

just contact them after first or second issue. They advise to cancel with bank as well. I've been on this for years, just remember to cancel. once on it they phone you with the offer, sometimes before the other has expired.

Hassle? You don't even have to ring anyone. Soon as the £1 is gone from your account cancel it online with your bank.

Does it say anywhere that the subscription can be cancelled or has some minimum term?
Pokey to grumbler
16 Jan 172#15
The OP's post title is '3 issues of Stuff Mag... for £1.00'. So funnily enough, it's a £1 for a minimum term of three issues (three months). Which can then be cancelled, otherwise it wouldn't be three issues. It would be more than three issues. Is a diagram required? In fact, you don't even need to cancel, you just stop the direct debit.

The speaker has been as cheap as £8 in Tesco but never this cheap.

16 Jan 171#18
ordered - to be fair this is a good deal even on 12 months sub: always liked this mag :smiley:
No diagram isn't required, but cancelling a DD stops payments only, not liabilities if there are any. I can easily imagine a long contract with free first months.

I got this speaker free with something I purchased before Christmas, I can safely say my music sounds better playing out of my phone than this dire speaker.
Disco dave, how many subscriptions did one have to make to become blacklisted? Just curious as I did take out one a while back for some earphones and makeup I think it was before

Subscribed, wonder how long they will delay the speaker dispatch :stuck_out_tongue:
the welcome email tells you what date they will take the first direct debit payment so you can set a reminder to cancel after that. seems a decent offer, the speaker is 17.99 on amazon.

Having recently taken out the offer and found explicit references to the speaker on the home page and during the subscription process I can confidently say it has ended.
However, 3 issues for £1 is decent value for money, even in this era of free online content. Looks nice on the coffee table and all that.

Yes there were lots of opinions - negative ones. Not really sure what point you are making here?
Apart from the opinions, people being called numpty and being asked if they want "diagrams" in reply to questions, etc...

How soon after the first direct debit has been taken is it best to cancel? Also as soon as you cancel will they stop the remaining 2 issues or should you still get all 3 magazines? Never done this before but if this goes ok, I think I'm be doing it a lot more often :smirk:

ahh , i see , yup same . At first I thought that was the date when the subscription ends. I just want to cancel my direct debit as soon as possible.

I'd suggest that you just take receiving the first issue as the prompt to cancel.

Thank you for your recent subscription order to Stuff magazine.
Unfortunately this was a limited offer and due to the significantly high demand for the free KitSound cube speaker we have now run out of stock and cannot send you the free gift.

yep, not happy at all. had the cancellation email and that the order wasn't processed. magazine arrived today so assume i have been charged. yes, it might only be a quid but that's besides the point. they send out a few speakers but how many people signed up and were supposedly cancelled, then not actually cancelled and who may then forget to cancel DD. smells like marketing BS to me. if i have been charged i'll be getting my quid back! ****

I cancelled the DD after I got the email saying the order had been cancelled, just in case. I have just checked on their website using the account number printed on the magazine's packaging (and also on the confirmation email):
I'm not sure whether they have tried to charge me, since I cancelled the DD.
