After a long hiatus for practical reasons (newborns and newsprint don’t mix), I re-subscribed to the Wall Street Journal about two years ago. Bit of a vice, really, but I enjoyed it. Would have gladly re-subscribed if they had sent me a proper renewal notice.
Instead, I got a credit card statement today charging me for a “renewal” I never authorized.
So that’s the end of that. I have a strict rule against doing business with anyone who thinks they can use my credit card at will, to charge me for products I never agreed to purchase.
FYI, they did promise to refund my card when I called to complain. (Good thing, since using my credit card without my permission is theft.)
Too bad. I’ll miss my morning paper.
If anyone can recommend a good print periodical that doesn’t engage in sleazy business practices, I’m looking for one.
