What if I missed issues?
If you have missed an issue, we may have an incorrect address on file. Please login to verify your address, to check the payment status on your account, to pay in full for your subscription or to report the missed issue. If none of these explanations apply, you can contact Customer Service via telephone at 1-800-829-9087.
Why did I receive a bill before my first issue?
It may be confusing to receive a bill before your first issue. Because our publications are mailed via Periodicals Postage (formerly Second Class postage) and our statements are mailed via First Class Postage, sometimes the statements arrive before the first issue. If you choose to pay for your subscription with this first statement, please be reassured by our money-back guarantee.
Do you share my name and address with other companies?
Like many other publishers, we make portions of our customer list available to carefully screened companies that offer products and services we believe you may enjoy. If, when we make our list available, you do not wish to receive these offers and/or information, please let us know by contacting us at:
