Got a call last night, supposedly from Maxim magazine. The guy tells me that they're going to raise the subscription renewal rate (geez, they've been doing that for the past 3 years now, haven't they?? ), but they're giving me the chance to renew now at the old rate....blah, blah, blah.
I was cool about it, though, and told the guy I didn't want to waste his time, and could he answer one quick question for me? Sure. I asked him if he had information there telling him when a person's subscription expires. No, they don't get that info. I told him that I had just gotten my Maxim magazine, and was looking at the address label on it, where it said when my subscription expired. Okay......
I told him my expiration date was MAR23......and that that meant that my subscription did not expire until March of 2023. The other end of the phone call got VERY quiet, and then, with a touch of awe in his voice, he asked me, "How did you get it that long???" :laugh:
I told him, "Free subscriptions", wished him a good night, and hung up the phone.
