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!
I have the same entry invitation but nowhere to enter the code.
my complaint is the same as others I've read. Obviously, we need more instuctions to enter the ipod contest
This is to inform you that I have ra new ieceived the card of Win iPod touch|wiereth the December Readers Digest Magazine.I entered the Access code :65979 and don't know how to continue from there.Please inform me at your earliest convenience.
On 7/21/07, I subscribed to RD with gift subscriptions to my children. In checking before re-ordering this year, I found that Don-Brenda did NOT receive any issues last year. In checking the address, I found it to be 142 George Chaney Rd., LaVergne, TN. I don't know where this address came from--not from me! Their address should be 142 Chaney Dr., LaVergne, TN. Since they did not receive the RDs last year, should I try again or will someone change it again to 'George Chaney' Rd.?
Please advise. Thank you.

You are right! I don't see anything for a free gift card as well. I will not be sending any more money either. Readers Digest is full of it!
I just want to cancel my book subscripetion and get a return label . Can you help me?
ditto! what a sham.
I've been a customer fof many years...This is a crying shame!
R.D., I thought, was a respectable company. I no longer am
convinced of that!
Get smart R.D., and register me now!
my combination is 84678
I won WOW
This is not the first time I have rec'd some "contest" entry item from one of the many of RD's promotional mailings. kWhile I truly enjoy my subscription I am sick of being bombarded with crap that starts off looking intriguing only to turn out to be some twisted ploy to sign you up to yet another associated subscription...they need to stop acting like the NATIONAL ENQUIRER and show some respect for their subscribers.
Got access code from new readers digest Whats going on?
Yup, I am not happy with Reader's Digest. I believe this to be a form of dishonest advertising. Regardless of intent, I personally find an offer to enter a non-existant content offensive.
R.D. MAKE AMMENDS TO YOUR CUSTOMERS.
It is these types of marketing scams leave me more and more disgusted and even more so now, that Readers Digest has now stepped into this "way of doing business" with its subscribers. Unless RD makes amends to us, the subscribers, I will be canceling my subscription and will not be renewing any time soon.
i will never renew my supscription or ever ever enter another readers digest contest again, they are phoney as hell.
I tried the web site given, www.rd.ca/wii which I can not recieve on my computer.
Impossible to enter the access code . This is a gimmick and bad for Readers reputation. It is not the firest time.
Also got intry # 27579 to enter Nintendo wii sports game could not find site to enter i also think all there prizes are lead ons
I have a complaint, they sent me a new one site is this www.rd.ca/ssvault. There is no site for this one either.I to am having second thoughts about readers digest.
Couldn't get on the site, I will not order fom Readers Digest again!
Very dissapointed with their service.
I always seem to have a bad experience when entering contests online. Now Reader's Digest's win a nintendo Wii Sports game contest has been added to my BAD experiences. All I could find at the email address was a contest that ended last year! The info I was sent has a closing date of August 31.
I received my entre for the wii with my august reader digest, it stated the draw closes august 31st, so it couldnt be from 2007, whats going on ?how come we cannot enter.
Reader fix this screw up right now.
I think this is false advertising and fraud. Reader's Digest shouldn't be allowed to get away with this!
Received my invitiation to enter 15/07/08. Can't enter. What do they hope to gain by this? Certainly not my appreciation!
I fully understand and totally agree with your comments as I also received and tried to locate the website Reader's Digest provided. I beginning to think every Reader's Digest contest, give-away or other "promotions" are pure gimmicks.
i don"t want the readers digest anymore so please don't send it to me anymore ...thank you
i dont want the readers disgest anymore i cant afford it please dont send me anymore thank you

Stop trying to seach for these addresses in Google, Yahoo, DogPile, etc.
At the top of your browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.), you'll see an address which begins with http.
Replace it with the address you got from Reader's Digest and you'll get to where you're supposed to be.
Then you can enter.
This is what I do and I never have any problems.
I too cannot access the website to register for the iPod. It burns me when these things happen. Outward appearance great--offering chances to win for supporting the magazine--then reality--can't submit entry. This happens all the time with contests etc.. I would think with RD's reputation it could be a little better organized. Just another scam to make you think you have a chance in winning something. Just like all the other contests RD offers. You submit steady & never hear another word. Joke! I'm definitely rethinking my subscription. You want to believe you're dealing with a reputable company but you have to start to question the reputation.

what is going on with this site
I had an access code of 65976 it is the same one as someone else has... also you can not get on the site to check for your number
I also received a card with an access code number to enter an RD"win a new iPod touch" contest. I could not access this site or get info on the contest. Come on Rd- what are you trying to pull? BS like this will help me decide when renewal time comes-unless I can get a satisfactory explanation.
someone has changed my answer to a contest intstead of all their monthly contests.
ripoff
i could not access sight either.
i too had received this notice to enter a contest.I think this is very unprofessional for such a company as readers digest.
i will really have to think if i am going to renew my subscription.
a disgruntled customer
I agree another Reader's Digest SCAM. A large company and all they do is SCAM their Scribers. It is strange how no one ever seems to win or it is the same pictures of winners that have won other contest but just a different name under the picture.
I too got such a code to win a car but cannot fine a site to access and enter my code. After spending lots of money on products in hoping my chances of winning would be better I am disappointed that I cant even find a site for such contest. Will be thinking twice before spending another dime.
I agree with the above comments.its a scam by rd.no such site. Told me i was one of the chosen few in canada. Well i live in a small town of about 4000 people and i know about 500 of the people here all of them have recieved them(postcards), lol what a joke.
If your such a big company, why do you not have your own website for these so called sweepstakes. I also received a card for a lexus and I am unable to find where to enter the code.
