VW Trends
Don't know if anyone has posted this yet, but if you go to the VW Trends
Website at http://www.vwtrendsweb.com/ it makes the announcement about the magazine ceasing publication, and it gives you a phone number to call with subscription issues. Bill Berckman 67 Beetle |

Talk about worthless. I clicked the "continued" link and it takes me to "VW
Trends Subscriber Services" where I can renew my subscription or order a gift subscription. No help there for my subscription that runs out in 2011. So I called the number. The idiot answered the phone WV Trends, how can I help you". Yes he said W V, not VW. I asked him what they are going to do about my subscription and he said "They're not telling us anything yet". PriMedia is a fu**ed up company. They need to get their act straight. They'll probably offer me a subscription to Import Tuner or Honda Tuning instead. If so, I'll demand $21.97 per year back for the remainder of my subscription (6 years) and then send the money to Hot VWs. Glad Kaferdave got out when he did.

Subscription services are outsourced, and sometimes the outsourcer has its own ideas about running a business, squeezing the publisher until the lawyers get together. Subscriptions services are just one rung below the outlaws AKA:distribution services. |

I recently renewed my sub a couple months ago. Based on the comments in
this thread, I sent them an e-mail advising that I wanted to cancel and get a refund since they are ceasing publication. In a return e-mail, they agreed.
