Kit Car magazine out of business?

I just renewed in November, for 2 years ($28). My currect subscription was not due to run out until May of 2009. I called the subscrition dept. @ 1-800-800-5227 and asked for a refund, which they won't do, but did get an extension to Hot Rod in lew of Kit Car. At least the money went to something............It pisses me off that publishing companys knowingly send out renewals when they are going out of business. I's sure lots of people just wind up making a donation......

They should really discontinue any more mailings and return any funds that were sent after the announcement. At that point you are just being dishonest.

Just talked to them at the # above.

I was given the choice of:

1- Getting the January and March issues then calling back and they would refund the issue that were left.

2- Being automatically transferred to Hot Rod.

3- Cancelling now and getting full refund. (Means I won't get the Jan and March issues)

I opted for #3.

She cancelled it over the phone with me and is sending me a confirmation via e-mail.

Not sure why any of you others are having issues. It was really easy.

Dan,

I just got off the phone with the woman and I wasn't given your option # 3. She said my subscription which is good until 6 of 2012 would be transferred to Hot Rod and that I would be receiving some papers in the mail telling me what other things I could do if I don't want Hot Rod, but I have to wait for the papers in the mail.
