Seems like they went to 4 issues a year instead of 11...when did that happen?
i think their time was over long time ago.. when internet became popular i stopped reading this magazine. i tried subscribing to them again couple years ago, and seems like they just copy random posts from different science/technology websites and thats it. and of course 40% of all pages are stupid ads
I just subscribed to Popular Science during the Christmas sale. I received my first issue last week, it was the old Winter issue that had been on newstands for a while, and on the label, it shows that my subscription ends in Summer of 2020. Two days later, I received the very old Fall 2019 issue. Neither one of them are like the old Popular Science magazines that I remember, where new cutting edge info was shared in the articles. Now each issue is a theme, like Sound, where they give only an overview of old information on the subject. My autorenewal occurs in December, what happens then? I miss the regular release schedule of next fall and winter and I get two old issues again? Cancel the auto renew and buy a renewal now to make sure I get next Fall and Winter on time? No thank you. Vote with your wallet.
Anyone ever have problems receiving subscriptions? I got a deal back in September for maximum pc magazine and have yet to receive an issue.
I had a problem last time. Took a call in to finally get my first subscription, then every magazine after that was very sporadic... 1 month or 2 month gaps between. Not even sure I received my full subscription but just gave up on it

Receiving subscriptions - it happened only once out of like 30+.
However they can screw you out of a Discount Lock. That lock has caveats that they can break it whenever they want. Pretty shitty when they do that and when I remember about it - I don't buy magazines. But otherwise they're not bad.

you do have to do some of their tasks to earn pts. to redeem but it doesn't take that long. no cc info is taken (no autorenew).
