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.

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.

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!!!

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 .

Subscription to spam National Geographic used to be a very respected journal. Now, they teamed up with Lindblad Expeditions. Once you subscribe to National Geographic, they sell your address to Lindblad Expeditions without asking for your permission, and you start getting catalogues of offensively expensive travel offers, tens of thousands of dollars per trip, from Lindblad Expeditions, and it is impossible to stop. Cancelled National Geographic because of Lindblad Expeditions spam. Called National Geographic for help to stop the spam. Looks like the spammers may be their partners. The frequency of spam got less but did not stop. Please, save your sanity and DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC!!!
