We decided not renew our subscription to Readers Digest and told them so. Of course they ignored this request and charged our credit card $32.98. When we complained about this they returned $21.98 to the credit card keeping $10.99 we complained about this oversight they ignored us again. They haven't returned any emails or money.What right do these crooks have to steal from us? I know this isn't much money, but why should we give it away to a rich company for nothing? We sure don't owe them this money!

YEP, another phoney card. This is the last time I bother with an entry card from Reader's Digest! It will make good fire starter tho, seems that is all it is good for...

We also received a card with the chance to win a new Lexus car. We would like the chance to win one.
When we try to log in to this site,nothing happens. It is a shame to mailout these bogus entries. Don't send us any more of these cards. We always thought Readers'Digest was a reliable company,now we have our doubts. Marguerite

I just think its sad that a company has to scam the hard working public who would certainly love to win a new car,just for their own twisted satisfaction and profit! P.S. I have enough garbage i certainly dont need yours,please keep your postcards to yourself!

Just wondering if this is a bogus Reader's Digest Canada Sweepstake? The "Lexus IS 350 could be headed your way...", there is no such web site that I can find where I could enter the access code that was under the seal that was sent to me today in the mail. If this is a scam, then they can keep their junk mail to themselves!

Very unhappy with rd.. My time wasted.Money for rd. wasted. No more rd. or free suprise gifts waiting for me. The magazine sure isn't what it used to be.

I tried to enter 'jackpot' which was not possible. A reputable magazine like RD seems to be resorting to 'bait' on the net. This is shameful !
