I was upset about the same thing. Last year I joined for $24 and this
year
they sent me renewal notice for $40!

So I crossed off the $40 on the renewal notice, wrote in $24 with a
short
note that if they charged me the same rate I subscribed at, I would
renew.

Sure enough, they sent me a bill for only $24, and I kept receiving the
magazine (though i hesitate to call it that.. more of a newsletter, I
think)

The difference between me and you is that I could not be bothered to play
that game. So I let my subscription slide years ago. So now they get
nothing
and I am spared of the bull****.

In the "old days", companies used to "nickel and dime", you to death. Today,
it's $50 and $100 you to death.

Not a month goes by I don't find someone trying to slip and extra $10, $20,
$50...past us on a billing statement. Of course, the "error" is never in MY
favor. :~(
