Down the Tubes I have been a National Geographic member/subscriber for over 50 years. I read my parents magazines for almost 20 years before that. I will be a member no longer. I can no longer tolerate the racist, sexist bent of this once vibrant magazine. The editor has brought her lack of scientific background and personal prejudices to bear on her work--where it has no place. Every issue is has become a far left opinion piece instead of fact-based story with broad interest. Too bad.

They'll harass you forever Be careful about getting a NG membership and magazine. They will harass you forever. I tried to cancel my father's membership when his Alzheimers progressed to a point where he could no longer read. Every other subscription promptly cancelled and refunded. Not NG, I had to let the whole subscription run out. And meanwhile they sent demand after demand for renewal. I politely asked at least a dozen times over 4 years for them to leave us alone. Now my Dad is DEAD and they are still sending renewal notices. They are heartless monsters.

Auto renewal by default Paid for 6 month subscription to National Geographic Kids for my grandson. Was surprised to see on the invoice it said "auto-renewal" which I did not want. Tried twice to phone - only got "very busy" message; sent two emails - no response.

I took NGM for years I took NGM for years . It was so wonderful I could not throw a copy away .I stopped my subscription for several years and last year when I was asked what I wanted for Christmas I said “ NGM subscription . When I returned from Arizona I found three issues waiting . What a disappointment ! No trouble throwing issues away now . Who ever chose to change what was a ” world renown “ magazine ( probably to cut cost ) destroyed a “National Treasure “ ! How sad , thanks for allowing my constructive comment .

Good work NG! Difficulties with getting our magazines at our foreign address led to our becoming acquainted with Jodie. She has done a smashing job of seeing that things were set right. Cannot say enough about the wonderful, caring, attentive service we've been given as the details were ironed out. Good work National Geographic!!!
