Re: Magazine renewals

Many magazines are HURTING big time -- due to the Internet.  I've noticed 
with several of my subscriptions that they send renewal cards about every
6 
months (including some of my quilting magazines)!!  I hold onto the card
and 
wait until I receive the next issue and look at the label.  There is
almost 
always a "code" that tells how long your subscription will go...

In the "olden days" -- you only got the renewal notice when you were about

to expire (well -- your subscription was about to expire!).   Before I 
realized the change in frequency -- and before I started keeping track... 
I 
got the card and if I like the magazine I sent in the renewal.

I'm good on several magazines until 2010 (and 2012 on one of them!!!)

So keep track of your subscriptions -- they'll keep sending you the
renewal 
notices -- even if your subscription isn't due to expire for a good long 
time!!!
