I have subscriptions to several diving magazines. Usually when I get a bill from one of them I just pay it (I'm sure most people do). But recently, I received bills from both SportDiver and Scuba Diving plus notes on my magazines saying that "This is your last issue"..."renew now", etc. I didn't pay much attention to the flyer because I figured everyone got them.
Then I received bills stating that I did indeed needed to renew. I did a little research and it turns out that for Sport Diver I renewed towards the end of April for 13 issues so I figure I've only received around 8 issues. I suspect that when I get the chance to look into Scuba Diving I'll probably see the same thing. I don't mind paying for magazines just don't take advantage of me. For PADI the strange thing is my soceity membership doesn't expire untill Sept 2009. So that must mean this has happened before.
So I say check your bills out.
